SOS2012

So....

There's a church called the Vineyard, or as some young fellas like to call it, VCC.

My stepdad was laid off from said church.

I was not happy with said church. I kind of put quite a bit of blame on VCC. Now, times are tough, and he wasn't laid off because they wanted to. They miss him.

I kind of phased out on those facts as my life was put in a blender and pureed.

Now, SOS was a weeklong program I had signed up for with VCC and as it approached, I was definitely having second thoughts on this whole shindig. I hadn't been there in months...would people be happy to see me?

And let me tell you....

People surprise me. 

    My ol' church friends were thrilled to see me again, and people I hadn't met were very nice and friendly. I think I met at least fifteen new people. At least.

   The group I was in was mainly my small group, and we all got along very well. There was no drama, and there was a lot of heart opening and hugging going on. 

Now, was it life changing?

Well, yeah. 

And I enjoyed every minute. 

    I enjoyed the awesome worship and messages and the free time that was never wasted. I enjoyed all the conversations and prayers and hugs, I gave or received. And the big white letters that spelled the truth of SOS. It was EPIC.
