The dog did it!

One of the challenges a bi-vocational pastor faces is finding time to visit not just the members of his church but other people in the community he serves. This week I had a strange idea and instead of washing my van I wrote the website address on it hahaha. I really didn't expect to much but I have received several positive remarks on it instead of the usual "wash the ....". One comment came from a young mother of four who lives less than 5 blocks from the church, she doesn't like being so out of place in the big church she is in now and said she may drop by for a visit. What really encouraged me the most though was this little dog that ran up to me while I was at the church checking the mail. A family of six showed up looking for this little dog and asked if we were rebuilding the church. Well you know I said yes, we really hope to get the sanctuary finished by Christmas but it takes money... the family was very nice and they live just 3 blocks away. Just imagine, if the little dog had not come by it would have been months before I made it by for a visit and they would not have seen what God is doing just around the corner from their home!
