In Awe

I served with the Won by One tonight. I am constantly amazed by these kids.

Michael is autistic. He is also very bright. I started to tell him tonight's Bible verse. "Nothing can separate us...." and he then said it all by himself "Nothing can separate us from God's love" I asked him if he knew where it came from and he answered in a questioning voice "Geniuses?" Well no, it's from Romans 8:39 but that's ok.

First, I love the way he calls Genesis "Genousis". After all it was an ingenious Creator that made this place.
Second, I love the growth in this kid. It used to be that when Nathan came into the room, that Michael would say "Oh no!" He's still very uncomfortable around Nathan, but now he at least says "Hi" before he cacoons himself in our play tent for most of the night. He's a really sweet kid.
