Grandpa & Grandma Lawley!

Congrats to our Children's Pastor Audie (& her husband Tim) as they became grandparents for the first time today!

Lily Austen Rerecich blessed their daughter Lindsay and her husband Matt earlier this morning in Washington DC.

Wow, man grandparents!! I don't even want to think about becoming a grandparent :) At least not yet . . .

Incredible Morning!

One of our Creeker military guys - Zach Wojtek - and his family are moving this week and a couple of other Navy pilots (Jeff Vignery & Clif Johnson) thought of an amazing way to bless and honor Zach.

We met at the building this morning at 5:50 (yes, am!) while Clif picked up Zach. We drove out to Bob Hall Pier and spread out about half a mile apart from each other down the beach and hid in the dunes.

Clif got to the beach with Zach about 6:15 and started walking down the beach with him telling him how he had been a blessing and encouraging him as he continues his journey.

Clif peeled off and then the next guy came out and continued walking down the beach with Zach. All four of us (4th being Tim Lawley) shared with Zach how he had blessed us and each of us encouraged him in keeping on a different part of the 'armor' in Ephesians 6.

I went last and by the time Zach got to me he was overwhelmed.

I just want to say: Way to go guys! I'm so proud of you and your willingness to use your gifting and creativity to bless the heck out of a man who deserves the blessing!

We're gonna miss you Zach! Warriors for Christ!

Guest Blog - Tim Lawley

Today's guest blogger is Tim Lawley. Tim is on our Elder Team, the husband of our Children's Pastor Audie, and a leader on our Greeter Team.

I'm always amazed at the reaction people have to the greeter's waving in the parking lot on Sunday mornings. Something as simple as a wave and a smile can brighten someone's day! Every one of us is a greeter, every one of us have the opportunity to bless another with a kind word or helping hand. What's stopping you? Go ahead, loosen up and say hello. I guarantee you'll feel better for it! Have a great week and I look forward to seeing you in the Oso Creek parking lot!
