Life

What a week! A week ago Sunday I had the honor of baptizing the newest addition to our church family. 2 Months ago they were homeless, living on the streets, with no money, and nothing but a car. In the last 2 months, through the Holy Spirit working through our church and Bridgetown ministries and their hearts, they gave their lives to Jesus, became a part of our church family, got an apartment, everything they need for the apartment was given to them, they both got jobs, they got baptized, last Wednesday they got married, they go back to Bridgetown to love, serve, and share their faith!

Last week I also got to attend a missions pastors retreat. I think the average age was about twice my age (no joke), but I really enjoyed it. Had some great conversations with people, built some great relationships, and got a deeper vision for what got can do through churches seeking to engage the world.

I drove straight from there to speak at the High School beach retreat, with 180 ministries where Brian Eberly is the pastor, and Aaron Geist is also in ministry. Had a great time. Left late Saturday night, got back home to lead worship, teach adult ed, and do college group that night. I am wiped.

Today is crazy though. It is my last day to live life in my 20's. Kind of a weird thought. Tomorrow I will be 30. The age that Jesus began his earthly ministry. That is another weird thought. Jesus did all that he did as a young man (I know my wife says I am old, but I am still young).

Anyway it has been a great week, and I am just preparing myself to step into the next decade of my life.
