As you may or may not know, Kassie and I live right across the street from Lake Erie College, a small liberal arts college.
Just a few facts about the college:
-one of their main focuses is equine studies (horses)
-their football team is just 3 years old, I think
-their marching band just had its first season
-there are somewhere between 1000-2000 people who attend the school
When we came here, especially after finding this apartment, we had the idea of doing some kind of college ministry at LEC. We didn't know if anything like that was already present but from what we heard from people, it seemed like maybe not.
Kassie suggested a few days ago that we go on a prayer walk around the campus. So, we did. We then decided to do it everyday. I likened it to Joshua leading the people around the city of Jericho.
Today was our third day and as we were coming to one of the buildings near the end of the walk (we haven't gone into the buildings, but we take a path around the outside of the campus...we don't really miss anything on the inside of campus because it is so small I am pretty sure there is only one building we don't directly go past) we saw a group of people gathered in the lounge area (there are big windows in the lounge area, actually in many of the buildings on campus). I noticed that one of the girls had a guitar and the people were facing a screen which I saw had the lyrics to "Marvelous Light" by Charlie Hall.
We were encouraged to see that there is apparently some sort of Christian group on campus, and we hope to be able to partner with them in some way, even if it is just that we continue praying for the campus and for that group. Praise God

How do they get the 3 yr olds to play football?
BTW, have you ever thought about what the "word verification" words mean? For example, my last one was deniced. Does that mean all the nice has been removed? And what is custri? the plural of custard?
