You’re Invited to #LightTheGoodNight

3

Dear friends, I want to personally invite you, your family, your friends, your churches, your neighborhoods, and your communities to join us for Light the Good Night, an opportunity to pray as one body for an end to Covid-19. 

At 7 pm CST on Good Friday (April 10), we will pray collectively from the safety of our own homes for lives to be spared and this disease to cease. As a symbol of our unified prayers, we will put a candle (or some light source) in our window.

What an encouragement it will be to see the night of Good Friday lit up with candles as a symbol of our collective prayers!

It is my hope that this spreads far and wide and results in thousands upon thousands of people praying in unity, but I can’t do it without you! I need your help in spreading the word! So please join us in sharing this event with your loved ones, your neighborhoods, your churches, and your communities. To share, simply post an invitation to social media and invite others to join you or even print out invitations and drop them mailboxes.

I have included a few shareable graphics for you to choose from in this post. Simply save the images and then share online or print.

If you would like to include a personal note for those not on social media or to hand out to specific people, I’ve included some suggested verbiage you can use to explain the event at the bottom of this post. Feel free to simply copy and paste. If there are other resources you may need, please let me know, and I will do my best to provide those. 

I also want to encourage you to make this event your own. It is not mine … it is simply something the spirit pressed on my heart. So if you have other ideas, please, by all means … run with them! 

I only ask that if you get a chance, please snap a pic and share it to social media with the hashtag #lightthegoodnight so we can all see those who are joining us in unified prayer! 

Are you with me? Let’s #lightthegoodnight and get ready to watch God move!

Sample verbiage for a letter or social media post. Feel free to copy and paste this or edit to make it your own:

Friends, as the threat of Covid-19 continues, I want to invite you to join us in praying for an end to this pandemic. And there’s no better day for unified prayer than Good Friday!

On Friday, April 10 at 7 pm CST, our family will take a moment to pray for an end to Covid-19. Would you join us? It’s easy; simply commit to praying for an end to the virus on this day, and then put a candle (or some kind of light source) in your window as a symbol! What a heartwarming treat it would be to drive around on the night of Good Friday and see the lights in the windows!

Please share with family and friends, and let’s all #lightthegoodnight!

In just three week, these kids who i love with my In just three week, these kids who i love with my whole heart will walk across a stage. They will accept a diploma, shake a hand and move a tassel from one side of a graduation cap to a next. Every single one of them is bound for a beautiful, bright future, and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Lord will bless them and go before them. Their friendships have been the richest blessing in my son’s life. So how am I supposed to say goodbye? 

Thirteen years to 3 weeks has give by in the blink of an eye.

It all ended last night. A decade and a half of sp It all ended last night. A decade and a half of spring seasons spent beneath the Texas sun atop a red dirt diamond ended in one final out. When they’re younger and the years stretch before you, time feels luxurious. You think you have so many games left. And then you blink, and they’re a senior. And suddenly they’re playing in their last play off game. 

It ends in the blink of an eye. And no one can prepare you for the heartbreak of it. I’m so proud of him and the way he finished well, but I will miss these years immensely.

Tonight I watched him step up to the plate for the Tonight I watched him step up to the plate for the last time. Play offs. Single elimination. Down by 1. Last inning. Two outs. And the batting line up just happened to fall to him.

Nothing prepares you for that.

He took a breath. The weight of an entire lifetime spent in red dirt hinging on this moment. He set his face like flint to that pitcher. The ball left the glove, and he swung. 

Strike one. 

He stepped away. Reset. Tapped the base. Then set himself once more. He swung, hit a line drive and sprinted headlong towards the base, setting his foot atop it just a fraction of a second after the first baseman caught the ball.

The final out. 

Nearly 15 years of our lives ended beneath stormy skies on that Dallas baseball field tonight. We’ve spent every spring since he was old enough to hit a ball sitting along a baseline. And it all came to a final conclusion in one out.

I asked him later what it was like with that pressure. The weight of it all on his shoulders. He told me he wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. “I wouldn’t have wanted one of the younger players to have had to step into that,” he said. 

Several years ago, a finale like that would have crushed him. Tonight, he saw the challenge, rose to it, and left with his head held high despite defeat. 

I wish we had another game, another season, another victory. All these last senior milestones have a way of ripping your heart right out. But in the end, who I’ve watched my son become through a decade and a half on the baseball diamond is even better than winning.
