Day Thirty: IT'S TIME!
I am like a kid on Christmas morning. But I'm crying, too. It's odd. I'm not sad crying. I'm crying because I'm in amazement over the peace I have. I'm crying because I'm thinking about the friends I have who believe in me, my brother's story, and God's great design enough to meet with me last night and pray for this day. I'm crying because it's the culmination of a lot of work and planning, but that it all comes down to this: Jesus Christ crucified for sin, risen and alive. That's what Rick lived and died for. That's what the art gallery, the music, the book is all about. HE is our desperate hope. I want to give some details regarding today since I won't be online again.
1. As of now the button to buy tickets online is disabled. I won't be able to add you to the will-call list once we start setting up this morning, so I needed to disable it. BUT you will be able to buy tickets at the door. CASH or CHECK ONLY, so come prepared.
2. Children and teens 13 and younger can come for free. Just know that childcare won't be provided, so do keep your children close. There will be lots of art and food hanging about. :)
3. We WILL NOT CANCEL regardless of the weather. God controls these things. Obviously we want safe traveling conditions, but we do not believe God has given us this day and this event to cancel it. The people who need to be there will be there. I believe God's plans will be firmly established. BUT you can help us pray that weather won't be a deterrent for anyone!
4. When you come through the doors tonight, your ticket will be punched. DO NOT THROW IT AWAY! You will need to turn it in at the end of the night to redeem it for a book. So put it in a safe place until it's time to get your book.
5. The address to the church, in case you've missed it: Mountain Lake Church, 3105 Dahlonega Hwy, Cumming, GA 30040
CAN'T WAIT! I'll see you there. SO GRATEFUL to all of you.
