Move over PLEASE!

That's right folks. Amazing things are happening at Grace. I stood in the back of our church listening to our worship team singing and just had to stop and thank God for what i was seeing and hearing. As people were coming in they were struggling to find a place to sit, Amen. As i listened i could hear Jesse's voice as he was leading the music, Amen. I saw our newest member of our praise team on drums while Ron (who usually plays drums) enjoying the music from his seat, Amen. I saw hands raised and even heard a little clapping, Amen. I saw smiles on faces and even some tears as people were worshipping together, Amen. As children were dismissed for children's church i saw a 150% increase in attendance in just over a year, Amen. I am so thankful for what God is doing at our church. What a blessing it is to have to move over!

Going GREEN

Now i don't make it habit to use public restrooms, at times i find it a necessity. Today was one of those days. I sat down and immediatly noticed that the person who occupied this resting place prior to my arrival had apparently torn off way to much paper. Instead of flushing this extra paper, they thought it appropriate to carefully fold the paper and place it neatly over the roll ready for the next occupant. Now i see this person as a conservationist, someone who cares greatly for the environment, willing to go that extra mile. So i used this paper but needed just a little more to complete the task. I too tore off to much paper and thought i needed to extend this GREEN effort to the next lucky person. I left my folded extra paper and exited with a smile. As i opened the door someone was waiting for this very busy resting place. I held the door for this gentleman and gave him an excited you're welcome.

So if you ever find neatly folded paper in your stall think of me!
