Matthew, my oldest son, is leaving this morning to go work this summer as a youth ministry intern in Sulphur Springs, Texas. Last summer he was in Slovenia, so he is much closer to home. My prayer for him is that he will have a great experience, bless and be blessed.
The church he is going to work with is the Shannon Oaks Church, which has roots in the Church of Christ but is now becoming more like an Independent Christian Church. Many Churches of Christ around the country are going down this path. The most prominent Church of Christ that has made this transition is the Oak Hills Church, where Max Lucado is the minister.
It is a blessing to have a son who is a Christ follower and who has chosen his vocation to be a minister. Pray for him. All his friends call him Matt.

David, Saw your post on Mike Copes blog regarding the new VP at HU. Your response rang true for me as well. My daughter is going to OC in the fall - I tried to get her interested in ACU but she was drawn to OC. I too, have concerns about Harding's direction, especially after some conversations with Jerry Jones the past few years.
The Shannon Oaks Church is a great church. My former youth intern, Jon Paul Dennis, is their worship minister. Matt will have a great summer there!
