Proud

I know, it's probably wrong and dangerous to say "I'm proud..." But the truth is, I couldn't be more proud than I am when people take seriously their commitment to the King and His Kingdom, and are willing to take chances, stretch their limits, and try to do things maybe they've never done before--maybe things no one has done before!

Sunday was one of those days! Betty began leading our adult Bible study, Andrea Peck began leading a new adult class for 30-40 year olds, and Rachel Sutherland met with me and Kyle Totive to make plans for a new youth group. (Our youth plan their first mixer to be this Saturday at 7 pm, at the parsonage.) Mike Tunstall and Ruthie Rafus were both primed and ready to serve as deacon of the month. Ruthie won the race to the pulpit, and is serving this month; Mike will serve next month. Both excited and willing to serve!

People willing to serve, willing to lead, willing to work and live a little beyond their comfort level, making sacrifices and doing things that require them to think and pray and maybe even sweat.

People doing things that are important to our King, His Kingdom and the life of the church.

I couldn't be happier, more thankful for my brothers and sisters! Ask me if I'm happy to be part of Calcium Community Church. Aren't you?!?!
