Fish Frenzy

I have to admit, I love tropical fish. I love the tranquility that comes with their graceful movements. Seriously, it's great therapy... especially the way the Sacramento Kings have played this year.

They're also a pain. Keeping up with the water cleanliness. The filters. The food. It all just adds up to 'work.'

Kinda sounds like church to me. There's nothing like seeing people come to Christ. The joy of knowing that our people had something to do with that. It's awesome. It's also a pain. Cause with more people comes more stuff that needs to be 'cleaned up.' More crap needs to be filtered. More people need to be fed. And with twice the fish... I mean, people... we have twice the problems and 'issues.'

But it's SO WORTH IT! Helping to grow people up is not easy. Taking care of new believers is hard work. I hope those of you who are mature believers understand your grossly important role of helping take care of these new folks. There is little that is more difficult, or more rewarding, than growing people in their faith.
