Last Monday, 8 days ago the Loft was a wreck during the day. Mark is home from college and usually there is something electronic that needs to be fixed or upgraded. A good friend gave us a fairly new HD 32 inch TV and so Mark was putting that into the system. Also he had picked up two throw away computers from college that he recreated our family computer and the Loft computer for great speed and storage space. Mark's girlfriend, Kristy was here with us and she wanted some work so her job was to clean the Loft top to bottom. So the place was in a creative, cleanup shambles. By 7:00 the place was useable for our regular Monday nite Junior High meeting. I pick up Lincoln students at 6:30 and bring them to the Loft (5 this nite). Packed house with about 28 students and 5 adult staff. Human knots and a Truth discovery time and some rowdiness and another opportunity to live Christ before students.
Tuesday I am getting sick but I set up to bring all my science classes from Lincoln Middle School to the Loft for their Christmas gift from me their science teacher. Each class has about an hour. We enjoy the different activities and I bring out some more of our pets. We share free donuts that we get weekly from Willow Valley and get to live out Christ's life before the students. Mark gets to help monitor these students. What a joy to share with them students some of the things God has provided us. "Are you rich, Mr. Brubaker?" We really are not rich but God has given us many things and we like to share them with others. 80 plus more youth passing thru the Loft and the light of Christ shining forth.
5:50 am Tuesday and time to get ready for school. A week in the life...... to be continued!!!! :)
