Thoughts from Paul Hill

I had a really good day yesterday, maybe the best one in many years. First of all, Vibrant Faith Ministries received a $53,000 grant from the Siebert Lutheran Foundation. These funds will be used to support our new website “Vibrant Faith @ Home” due to launch March 1. This grant gives powerful affirmation to our work and I am humbled by the blessing.

The second incredible blessing of the day was sitting with four students from Luther Seminary who have a powerful passion for outdoor ministries. They are passionate, young, energetic, and smart. Now they are imagining how they might become scholar-leaders in support of one of the most powerful transformational tools we have in the church, our camps and retreat centers.

As I finished my day I thought, “the money is a blessing to be spent soon, and twenty years from now these four leaders could be providing insightful leadership in a discipline only now being imagined.”

A good day is when we are given a glimpse of the kingdom breaking into our consciousness. God is always at work, the blessing is when we get to see it.

So, tell me about one of your good days.
