Today was a great day again at FLAME. This morning we watched the video about food at FLAME. See the post below. For the first time this week, we had a band during worship, which was fun. We had a missionary report and before all this got started my daughter Rebecca showed up from Southern Wesleyan for the day to visit dad. It was so nice to talk with each other and share some things. I brought her a care package that mom put together.

After lunch she went back to Southern and my friend Wayne took some non-students on a nature hike through Table Rock State Park. I’m hoping to have some pictures of this little adventure tomorrow. We walked through God’s beautiful creation and saw many waterfalls even though its been dry here in the South.

A highlight of every FLAME is the Wednesday night communion service. Tonight was no exception. We sang a few songs as the Holy Spirit came and met with us. Wayne shared a devotional about listening to God’s still small voice. When it comes to worship, we are both organizers and want to make sure the details are worked out. Some of the details didn’t work out til late in the day as Wayne listened to God’s voice. During communion, I played and sang Communion by Third Day and then spontaneously led in a few more worship songs as we finished up communion. The highlight of that was singing I Love You, Lord accapella. We are worshiping in a half gym with lots of hard walls, but it made it sound beautiful, especially as we sang the song with all the harmony. It was gorgeous.

The last highlight is went pastors, FLAME alumni and professors pray with the students for the students. It always makes me a little emotional and tonight was no exception. It was cool.

And that about wraps it up from the FLAME News Network (a little inside joke courtesy of Wayne.)
