Ordination

There's something special about a deacon ordination service in a small rural church. Everyone is so close, and it's so much a family affair. You see men in tears and their wives as well as I get an opportunity to challenge someone from the Word to serve Jesus. We ordained a very special man today, and even though he's somewhere in his 60's, this is the first time he's ever served as a deacon anywhere. I was honored to be a part of it. I hope that he will always remember this day, and I'm fairly sure I will.
