SNL Report

We always think we've got it figured out. We don't.
Last night's Saturday Night Life went well. Give God the Glory. The audience wasn't as large as we would like but they enjoyed it. People were ministered to through laughter and through some thought provoking sketches and music.
What we were unaware of was the real life drama going on upstairs. The maintenance man on duty heard someone yelling. He went up to check it out. There was a man who was drunk and distraught. Talking about suicide. The maintenance man recognized him as someone who had been at the church recently. He talked to him and prayed with him. He then brought him some food from SNL. Things were calmed down and the man was ministered to.
We thought the reason we were doing Saturday Night Life was to minister to our audience. We were, but also if we hadn't been doing what God called us to do on this particular night, the doors to the church would have been locked. Lord knows what would have become of the man.
We always think we do what we do for the obvious reasons, but God's ways are so much more intricate and creative than ours.
