Empty Earth

So, no one is reading, currently.

OK.

I'll see if anything picks up once I get the next newsletter out.
One more chance, eager readers! coming soon.

Oops, late post.

Hey there readers...
Are there any readers?

My goal is to post an update once a week or so, but I want to be sure folk are actually checking it out and reading it. If no one's reading it, I'll find other means of communicating with y'all to invest my time into.

So, if you are reading this blog, please post a comment from time to time to let me know you're out there. I'd appreciate it :)

I'm planning to get a new newsletter together in the next 5-10 days, which is good news.

Look for a post here in the next day or two about the interns we have here in New Orleans with us this year through the Diversity Project.

Sorry I let almost 3 weeks go by without a post. If you prove to me that you're reading, I'll respond by staying on schedule.

grace & peace

Fall Breakaway

Nearly 20 New Orleans students joined up with Chi Alpha students from around the state of Lousiana at the Assemblies of God campground in Woodworth, LA.

Mr. Curt Harlow spoke at the worship services, and challenged all of us to live a blessed life: to be meek, poor in spirit, to mourn, to be peacemakers... Everyone who came was challenged by God's word.

Fall Breakaway is not just a retreat, but a time for students to grow closer together, to rest from the demands of school for a little bit, and to encounter God, as He brings conviction and clarity to their lives.

We came home Sunday afternoon, yet we are still talking about how we might live the lessons Jesus taught to his disciples on the mountainside. We all desire to be living examples of the Jesus-life at Tulane, Loyola, and UNO. Please pray with us...

Today, Tulane students from Chi Alpha and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship are participating in a 24 hour prayer vigil. We serve a God who answers prayer!
