Where Do We Go From Here...

Week one is in the books. You may have heard the term, "Running around like my hair is on fire." That comes close to describing how I felt last week. The week started with me scurrying around trying to get my office and all the tools of the trade set up. Then comes preperation for Wednesday night's lesson, a couple of physical therapy visits for a sore shoulder, heading off for three days of conference meetings and seminars and planning for a Super Bowl party for the students. By the way, that was as good a Super Bowl as I can remember. Way to go. Eli!

Then comes Sunday morning. God is so amazing. The plan for Sunday was the giving of the "State of the Church Address." Pastor Roc agonized over having to offer information rather than "really preachin'." We plan and God laughs. After the choir special... and then the encore choir special, Pastor Roc gave a mid-worship invitation. Then he proceeded with the address very adeptly weaving the word of God and the state of His church at Indian Springs. The regularly scheduled invitation was given at 12:30 p.m. The plan all along was for my family to present ourselves for church membership. To our delight, 2 other families joined us there. Then I had to leave my place in the line to go and counsel with a young man who made the decision to give his heart to Christ. After it was all said and done 10 people came forward to join, 4 of them by baptism and 2 of those were students. Oh yea of little faith!

It was a pretty fanstastic first Sunday in our new church home.
