Remember When…?
Without fail, at least half of our conversations begin with, “Hey do you remember when…?”
Laughter ensues as we retell our perspectives on the crazy trip to Washington, D.C., the cross-state cycling journey, our evangelistic efforts in downtown Flint, or the campout in the dead of winter. We look back with fond memories, but also some wise evaluation of how we’ve ended up where we are now. We reflect on some regrets and discuss how we’d like to plan for the future. Most importantly, as we remember the experiences, choices, and outcomes of our youth, the conversation moves toward the grace and power of God. . .

Slow Down. Remember.
In stark contrast with the hyper-busyness and sometimes ADHD nature of many Christians in North America, actions like reflecting and remembering are very biblical forms of true worship. The idea of “remembrance” is repeated over and over again throughout the Old and New Testaments in conjunction with worshiping our God.
