thankful

I am thankful for Rob Verdeyen- our pastor.  God has given him an amazing story and gift of teaching.  Jonny and I missed last week's teaching because we were in Eli's classroom, but we listened to it online last night and it had me smiling, gave me goosebumps and brought me to tears.  If you'd like to get a sense of our pastor's personality, testimony, humility and love for the Lord THIS is the message to listen to.  We are between books right now, but for this month he's taking a break and sharing "stones of remembrance" about Calvary Corvallis' history.  This last week started with snip-its of Rob's testimony.  I didn't want it to end, and most of the stories he shared I've heard before.  Good stuff.
