Yesterday I had a moment of dream-come-true. I thought I would share it with you. After the gathering I met with some new folks and talked with them for about 25-30 minutes. When I was finished talking to them every bit of equipment was loaded up on the trailer.
For those who may not know, our church meets each week on a college campus and we have to bring in our entire setup weekly. We have a great church that pitches in to set-up and tear-down every week. I carry stuff weekly, tear-down tables, set up chairs, sound equipment, you name it. I try to work hard because I know that it takes a team effort to get it done, and I want to model that to everyone at SRC. I don't ask SRCers to do things that I'm not willing to do.
But from the beginning we acknowleged that I wouldn't always be available, that there would come a day when after our meetings I would be tied up with people, talking with them, praying with them etc. I remember when Joe Harp said, "Well yeah, that's what you're supposed to do."
Yesterday it happened. I got to be with people and share the love of Christ, while so many jumped in and got packed up, and then they drove away. Thanks to everyone. God is going to continue to give us great days like yesterday.

It's called "Body Life" and is an excellent illustration of why the Body of Christ is made up of its many "members". dad
