week 19.

It was over a year ago that I was impressed when a young man bore his testimony at church.  He had just been baptized and was completely aglow in the Spirit.  I was completey ashamed when we drove home from church that day and saw him emerge in tandem from his own car...in the driveway right next to ours.  He was our neighboor.  Next door.  And I had known nothing about his spirit, his conversion, his gospel beginnings that were happening 25 feet from my own front door. 

Fast forward one year-ish.  Well, we've come to know Levi quite well.  We've also come to know his parents, Mike and Tammy.  And in this case knowing is loving.   And more than that, knowing & loving has also become wondering why in the world these two have not yet joined the church themselves.  Their morals, their testimonies of Christ, their family closeness are all evident. 

And we have now been blessed to share the gospel with them in our own home.  It has altered the tenor of my week entirely.  Pushed my focus beyond any worldly worries.  AND filled my home with the Spirit.
