Last night was Grad night for the MC Atlanta 2007-2008 students. What a journey it's been. In some ways, it feels like these students walked in the door yesterday, in other ways it feels like we've been doing life together forever.
I remember the first week they were here, when Jeanne told me how I'd get a kick out of seeing the difference between the day they walked in vs. the day they walked out. She was so right. MC Atlanta is like a character development and leadership microwave. It's a place where you come face to face with yourself and make the choice on whether you want to grow and chip away at the junk in your life. It's a place where you get to have your own mini-youth group in the form of 02 groups and put on elaborate retreats that put most to shame. It's a place where an emphasis on prayer is made every day from 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. It's a place where work ethic is both taught and caught. Above anything else, it's a place where passion is awakened ... a passion for Jesus, family, life and purpose.
It's been a great year ... summer without them will be hard. After the graduation ceremony, we ended the night by going over to Jeanne's to hang out and have communion together at midnight.
God is good ... all the time.
