so our first social event - at the local swimming hole - bridgeport - where food and medical supplies were taken across the covered bridge loated here . . .not sure why that is so exciting .. .
the river on the other hand .. .fun was to be had by all .. .
Bethany was fearless - being the first to jump off the big rock, followed by the others who didn't want to appear fearful. A couple of them, after feeling the exhilaration of the jump, went over and over and over again.
This new move is like that - we have felt the exhilaration of watching God grow his church and we want to do it again!
Steven Curtis Chapman's song says it well:
I'm diving in, I'm going deep, In over my head I wanna be
Caught in the rush, Lost in the flow, In over my head I wanna go
The river's deep, The river's wide, The river's water is alive
So sink or swim, I'm diving in, I'm diving in
There is a supernatural power in this mighty river's flow
It can bring the dead to life, and it can fill an empty soul
And give a heart the only thing worth livin' and worth dyin' for, yeah
But we will never know the awesome power of the grace of God
Until we let ourselves get swept away into this holy flood
So if you'll take my hand, we'll close our eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on let's go
