The bookends to Psalm 8 remind me of the Chris Tomlin song, "The Famous One":
"God, brilliant Lord, yours is a household name."
"God, brilliant Lord, your name echoes around the world."
There's a lot in the 7 verses in between too:
"I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewelry, moon and stars mounted in their settings."
"Then I look at my micro-self and wonder, 'Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way?'"
The 300 Calumet campers and the 65 VBSers came away with the fact that God loves us soooooo much. God also loves the entire world.
Let us not miss this verse:
"You put us in charge of your handcrafted world, repeated to us your Genesis-charge." Responsibility, not domination.
9 or 10 youth and adults are down in the Youth Room right now packaging thousands of meals. They will be there again at 7 am tomorrow. They have learned these lessons well.
When we ship the almost 40,000 meals to Haiti on Monday and after Sunday School starts again on Sept 19th, where will we package meals then? We need a space alternative to the church, unless someone can creatively think of a solution within the existing walls. Our kids and youth at Faith LOVE Feeding the Future.
