Hoot

Pondville had a Hoot tonight, and I participated.  This was a REC program--Residents Encounter Christ is an interdenominational Christian ministry to prisoners.  It's a Cursillo program.  The Hoot part of it was where we volunteers, who had been making Palanca, and praying for these guys, came to surprise them.

We all gathered together in a room and hid there, until it was time.  Then we all marched in singing "This is the day," and clapping our hands to the beat.  The men were bowled over.  It was a nice surprise.  That's a Hoot!

We stayed for awhile and listened to their witness talks.  As usual, it can be heart wrenching.  But its wonderful to see the Holy Spirit move in people.  Amazing, simply amazing.
