Proud

So today is the Dinner/Pie Auction at church in honor of Damon. As I've been baking pies today, I've been thinking a lot about our "Young Adult" class at church. These guys make me SO proud!! As a very small church (in the midst of some tough times right now) I've been a bit concerned about our congregational future. However, after today's thoughts, I'm convinced that we have a strong future with these young adults as our future leadership! They have really taken the initiative with this event and they are INVOLVED at St. John's in so many positive ways. As I watch them get married, start families, and become a strong core of leaders for St. John's, I am so happy to call them "extended" family! And kudos to their parents for raising such great people! I couldn't be more proud of their efforts to honor a young man who truly gave everything for a better world! Hope all of you have people in your lives that are willing to go that extra mile!
