One of our church members, Norma, told me about her response to my surfer-discipleship story. She said that she loved her Dad, and one of her strongest memories is how he would plow their fields with a one-horse plow, and she would walk behind him, making sure to walk in his footsteps. Wow! I am not sure you can wear out the Gospel implications in that!
It reminds me of something that our friend Theo has said, "Memorize what the backside of Jesus looks like so you can be sure you are following Him." He goes on to say we should know what His heels look like! I am reminded of Teddy Ray's prompting me to have a Holiness/Evangelism/Discipleship conference called "Beautiful Feet."
Yesterday, another member, JoAnn was talking to some people at the grocery store. She told them about our church and invited them. The two she talked with were interested, saying they had been thinking of going to church. JoAnn asked for their numbers, if they were interested in the pastor calling them. They gave her the numbers. Awesome to work together in the fields of the Lord!
