The unexpected.

Monday's on the blog are devoted to celebrating things that have happened recently or passing along information to you for opportunities to become "rooted in God's love." Last Monday something happened that most of you wouldn't know about. First of all, I talk to many people about giving their lives to Jesus and what being a follower of Christ means. Last Monday was different.

I was talking with a young man and his family about becoming a Christian. As we finished he was more convinced than ever that he wanted to be baptized. His father asked if he wanted to wait until some family could get in town, maybe do it the following Sunday. He looked up and said, "Now." 

And that's what we did. This young man saw what Jesus was calling to and saw no reason to wait! Sometimes the best things are unexpected.
