One And Counting

Have you ever forgotten an important date, like your spouse’s birthday, or a meeting with a friend? Remember the feeling? That is exactly how I felt - for a split second.

I fumbled in my coat pocket, found my phone and quickly opened after the third ring. Immediately I heard the voice of a friend on the other end saying “Happy Anniversary”! Hmn, happy anniversary? Wait a minute, I thought, I know when our anniversary is, and it is not today. Actually it is over six months away, and you can’t miss it much farther than that. So what anniversary are we talking about anyway? The friend on the other end went on to remind me that it was the anniversary of the date Judy and I moved into Linton. What a nice gesture.

Today is the anniversary of our first Sunday at Linton Assembly of God. One year! God has been good. Judy and I are grateful for a good community to live in and a great church family with which to experience life. It is good to be one and counting!
