Polar Opposites

If you know both David Kay and Marshall Croy … you know before I even say it, they are polar opposites! I had the privilege of traveling with a group from our church to the Innovate Conference at Granger Community Church in Granger, Indiana this past week. It was a refreshing time of new ideas and meeting with churches and businesses that truly love Jesus. I really appreciated the opportunity to be able return to Granger again this year.

Anyway, spending a few days (instead of 2 hours in corn field) with Marshall & David was a true joy. God made us all different and our church is privileged to have both of these men of God on our team. David brings all the life, excitement and energy you can stand. Marshall is our firm foundation … our stability … our organizer … our level head … all this with a great sense of humor! He really takes care of our people in a way most of you don’t even know. If you don’t know it, they both have a heart of gold …a servants heart … a heart for Jesus.

The Innovate Conference reminded all of us why we do what we do and how we must reach out to our culture and community just as Jesus did. GCC's saying is “Bring Up There, Down Here!” Pretty good advice!

Anyway … being with my brothers and sisters this past week reminded me that we are all different and need to embrace our differences … we all have something to give. We can’t all be like Marshall. We can’t all be like David. (Hmmm … Maybe that’s one we should add to our praise list this week).
