June ends; Here comes July!

It is weird the way my ministry opportunities seem to come and go.

I know that it doesn't seem to be the normal thing for the majority of churches to plan far into the future. Half way through May and the only thing on my summer schedule was a day camp on June 3rd, two days of Bible Stories with Pastor John on the 6th & 7th, and an overnight camp on 16th and 17th.
That was it ... for the summer!

Then came a job for both children's camp and youth camp (two shows) in Northern Missouri last Tuesday night (the 27th with travel home on the 28th), a different children's camp (same location) next Thursday night (with a Friday morning breakfast meeting with a different church pastor about a fall event before heading home), and Sunday morning preaching at a local church on the 2nd and 9th!

What?!

Honestly, I'm grateful for the opportunities that come my way -- especially the preaching opportunities. I actually had to turn down a church because I was already booked this Sunday!
So now June ends and July is only scheduled through the 9th. I'm kind of wondering what the second half of the month will hold and if I'll be getting any back to school gigs for August. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

In any case, I'll be making the challenge to share the Good News:

God loves you.
Jesus died for you.
