Ministry is so much fun -

Yesterday, Wendy and travelled to the top of Haleakala, Maui's dormant, 10,000 ft volcano to spend the afternoon with our student ministry. About 15 kids and 4 adults made the trip with three vehicles. At first, I thought there would be enough room in the other two vehicles for the trip. That would mean that Wendy and I would be able to go home and catch up on some chores that have been neglected due to the busyness of things lately. But God always has another plan. They were 1 kid over the acceptable passenger count, so we took my Expedition and split the kids and headed up to the summit. Everything was cool, until... (- have you ever noticed that there is almost always an 'until'!!!) ...until, we arrived at the visitor's center and the transmission of one of the other vehicles spilled it's life's blood all over the parking lot and died, right there, on the spot, dead. Yep. Dead. Oh, it would crank, but it wasn't going back down the mountain except on a wrecker, or as it's called here in Hawaii, the tow wagon. But, God's plan was OK in us going because if we had stayed home, we would not have been able to get everyone back home in a reasonable time. We crammed together and came home after spending our time admiring God's beauty and eating a bunch of sandwiches! That's just what God had in store and we had a great time. Ministry is so much fun! Enjoy yours today!
