Sometimes college ministry is challenging tough. Other times it is meant to be the opposite - fun and restful. Last Friday it was the latter. My mom was generous enough to open up her home to have a Friday afternoon pool party for the students from InterVarsity DEEP at CSULA. After a month of energy-sapping heat, we spent an afternoon just relaxing in and around the pool. Lots of laughing. No stress. Just a good time to connect and slow down.
