Chillin and Cheers

It's nice to be somewhere you know you are welcome. Right now, I'm chillin. Leia's mouth is full of pizza (with some sauce on her cheeks). Samson, John, Troy & Vince are watching in awe as Israel Houghton and Hillsong lead worship at a conference on TV (they'll do that one day). Tee is sitting here with me, Sylvie is working on a church project. Zai zai is playing on the internet (when I was 7, I had no idea how to work a computer...) Ant and Tara are so gracious to open their house to a bunch of kids like us.
Isn't it nice to be somewhere you know you're welcome? Where you can totally be yourself and know you're loved no matter what? Man, I wish every church was like this. People can come in and simply be themselves. Not have to put up a front, not have to pretend that they're happy if they're not, and not have to act like someone they're not. How is our church? Like a close-knit family? Or like a gathering of rival teams?

WOW great post! I really love what you are doing here and that YOU make it possible every sunday to make the church a place that welcomes every kind of person.
