As I fired up my computer earlier today, I happened to catch the date – July 25th.  Relatively unremarkable as dates go; no offense if it’s your birthday, anniversary or something like that.  Just saying, in my world, July 25th isn’t really that big of a deal.

Except…

One month from now, The Gathering will be meeting in the Kay Center at American University for our first service of the semester!  Yeah, Mason and UMD get a bonus week of summer in there once again.  But AU is the lead-off hitter and one month from now, that Kay Center is going to be packed with students looking to celebrate Jesus.

Wow.  That fires me up.

By the way, I didn’t post that to send you spiraling into some sort of “summer’s going by way too fast” depression.  Keep enjoying summer and living for God wherever you are.  But I’m hoping you might start praying towards what God has in store for us a month from now.  It’s going to be here before you know it…and I, for one, can’t wait!
