Precious Memories

Although they'll be around a few more weeks today was our youth pastors official farewell. John did an incredible job this morning preaching his last sermon for the congregtion. I hope one day he'll come back on his speaking tour and share with us as he defends the faith to the nation. Christian Apologetics. That's what's in His heart and he'll be fantastic in this field.

It's been a whirl of seven years. SEVEN YEARS! Where has the time sped off to? They have a new little guy on the way and he will be the first one I wasn't there when he came into this world. La, get to the hospital quick, at the first pain! And don't let them start an iv until someone that knows what they're doing can do it. After they have given you something that makes you delirious. Okay?

When John was preaching this morning, alot of memories came rolling past. I'll never forget the first time I met La, big belly and sweet smile. John David was born the next month. Remember the townhouse? All the people there to help you move in. I think there were more people there than helped us move in! The girls next door, they were a rowdy bunch! And those guys down the street! We've seen alot of changes in the last seven years. It was fun and we will miss you. I know God is in this change and He has wonderful plans that lie ahead. It's exciting when He moves. When we get out of the way and wait with anticipation. Follow His open doors guys. Listen to His still small voice.

Father go before them and be their rear guard, open doors and help them find favor with man and use them in an incredible way to spread the fragrance of the knowledge of You to this world.

Overshadow them.

I love you all.
