-Relaxed-

This weekend was a mad dash (it's actually life for us now)!!!  We headed out for a 1,200 mile endeavor of seeing my niece Addison, my parents, my sister/brother-in-law and nephews.  We did this in 2 days!  As i arrived back home for experiences Sunday morning i experienced something amazing.  As two of our high school girls small group leaders baptized one of their students i had a moment.  You know the moments where things just stand still?  We do baptisms in an inflatable pool in our lobby with several pastors baptizing several people at once, and in the edge of the pool a high school girl came out of the water with tears in her eyes and was suddenly embraced (actually she disappeared) by her two leaders.  Two leaders that have walked with, cried with, ate with...done life with this girl who's mother has passed away tragically.  I saw two leaders in their 20's sacrificing, mentoring and ultimately guiding this teenage girl.  It was that moment that wont quickly disappear in my mind.  It was great!  I could say more, but i wont.
