People I have met and Lessons I have learned

Tim had not been a christian very long but he was on fire. I baptized Tim in Williamstown West Virgina. Tim was not raised in the church. He was dating one of our outstanding young ladies. Tim was not a push over. He questioned everything. But when he got it he really got it. What he knew he shared. And now here he was in the baptistery ready to baptize a friend. When he immersed his friend he brought him up and joyfully said"Wow this is fun!" Some sitting in the office were offended by his joy. I wasn't because I knew Tim "Got it." Now some 30 years later he still gets it. He is a preacher and elder at a congregation he helped start from scratch. It is a amazing congregation of several hundred filled with lots of people who "get it." Thanks Tim for the joy you have given me watching you teach what you know (which is a whole bunch now) to hundreds and helping them "get it."
