Plane Ride

This past weekend was awesome!  My best friend from college really did marry the girl of his dreams.  I was extremely blessed not only to be the best man but also to preach at the wedding.  On my way down to Lancaster Pa, I was flying out of the Bluegrass Airport where I sat next to a UK college student.  I introduced myself and told him that I was starting a church.  Turns out he lives down the street from me.  I invited him to Friday night dinner and he told me that he would check it out.  He then proceeded to tell me that he hadn't been in church for a while.  He said he wished that there was somewhere in walking distance because he doesn't have a car.  His statement stuck with me the whole weekend.  What if Embrace was a small church but one that reached out to the community?  I know that I need to die to myself and what I want or what I think Embrace needs to be and allow it to be what God wants it to be.
