New Kid on the Block

Michael Dean Cooper joined us at church for the first time Sunday. It was actually his first time to darken the door of any church...at least fully in the open. He didn't cast a very large shadow-- he's about a third of the size of the car seat he rode in one. Joyce and Lee are the proud parents, and they should be. What a beautiful child.

So tiny, and yet full of so much potential. You know, Jesus talked about the kingdom of God like this-- "What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air perched in its branches." Luke 13:18-19. When you look at Michael, you can't help how big that little mustard seed will grow. Who he'll impact. Who he'll marry. How many kids, and grandkids he'll have. How many people will see Jesus in Him, who will then tell their friends, who then will tell their friends.

It should be an awesome thing to watch him grow into a man.
