Robby= Service

Wow- It's been a while since we posted something!  It has been crazy busy around here.  Shane hurt himself at the men's retreat and we have been through surgery and recovering.  Everything is going really well though.
Now on to bigger things:  We gave Robby Sinclair a good send off Wednesday night at the Edge.  It was a great time.  He will be leaving for the National Guard boot camp in the next day or two.  As we have been going through the process of getting ready for him to leave the Edge team for a while, I have been thinking a lot about him and his impact in the Edge youth team.   You can't think of Robby without thinking of service.  He is always ready and waiting to do anything you may need.  I have never heard him complain one bit, he is always there with a smile.  There is a lot to be learned from this young man's life.  It shouldn't come as a surprise that he would be leaving to serve our country.  My desire is that there will be some young men come and step in his place with the awesome desire to serve.  I have heard spoken before that the best quality a leader can have is the desire to serve, and I agree with that.  We are walking on this earth as Christians to show Christ's love to others and serving is a big part of that.  I thank God for speaking this to me and challenge you guys to walk in service to God and others.  Remember your mark you leave in life will be left in how you have shared God's love with others.  In the word of Jim Elliot, "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot loose."  We all have the same amount of time, and it will be used.  The question is- how will we use it?
Have a great week!!
