Proud Of Our Youth

I was at a study group meeting at church tonight and the parking lot was so crowded on a Thursday night.  It brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart.  Sadly, I have belonged to churches which did not have that many on Sunday morning, but we had several groups meeting and eager participation.
