My thoughts this week

• We had a great time on Wednesday night at the picnic. Great food! Thanks to Kurt for manning the grill and all of you who brought something tasty.
• Sharron was baptized. It is such a special moment for me when I baptize someone. She told of how she had a fear of water and had just within the last couple of years truly given her heart over to the Lord. She said that since we had been talking about facing fears she new now was the time to be baptized and face her fear. When I brought her out of the water she started to cry out to God and I was so elated. God has changed her for the better and we witnessed her public proclamation of that change.
• I was impacted by the bridge falling on 35W. How many people were on that bridge that did not know Jesus? I don't know but I am resolved more than ever before that High Point is called to reach this city. My prayer is that none would perish in this city. I have been praying a lot about that lately. I have to be continually reminded to get out of my comfort zone and share about my faith. It could mean eternal life or death for someone.
• I am excited about seeing the new Jason Bourne movie. I know it isn't spiritual but it is what i have been thinking about.
