I am struggling with how we see the role of the church today. I am a deacon, a teacher, and a lay-leader in a SBC church in Greenville, SC. Too many people see church as an event. Also, too few want to grow in the knowledge of God. Keep up the good work in Tryon. From my visit to that part of NC, Grace Foothills is the right type or style of church for that area.

Your faith inspires us to pray more, believe more, and love each other more. Luke...what an amazing boy! I love looking at his pictures. I had a friend in college who had had his colon removed in his teen. I did not know for about a year that he did not have a colon, as he was able to live a pretty normal life (at least from my perception). Love to you all. Jakob and Johanna will be visiting my mom and Lou over 4th of July (for a week). If you're around Charlotte, they would love to see you all! Hi Scott and Amy,

I live in Loveland ,CO with George's dad, Dan. We have been here 12 years. We talk to George all the time and he has shared his love for you and the church in Tryon. Heidi forwarded your Blog to us. We are praying for you, Scott, and for your family. God is faithful. I don't have to tell you that - you already know it but it never hurts to remind each other especially when a "brother" is going through some stuff. God has His hand on Luke and we are believing with you for recovery for your little one. We have been without steady work for over a year and sometimes we wonder where God is. We want to come see George, Heidi and Lauren so bad but just can't right now. I told George that when we do come that we are coming to hear you speak. George & Heidi love you guys so much and are so thankful for your little church. We will continue to pray for you and your family. Luke is a beautiful little boy and I know that God is way ahead of you - He is the answer - the solution - the healing - the hope. We will be praying for you as we continue to pray for our own kids. God put you into our son's life for a reason. I want to thank you for all your encouragement for George and his family. I just know that Jesus is coming soon. Hang on - Jesus is only a "breath" away.
