When I was in High School, we had a youth minister named Dennis. Dennis taught me more about Jesus in a short amount of time than just about anyone outside of my parents. In many ways I owe my faith today to the seeds he planted years ago. And, he became a Christian in Syracuse, NY through the encouragement and teaching of a man named Bill.

My youth group went to Syracuse a couple of summers to do VBS. I got to know Bill and could see why he had had such an impact on Dennis. He's a great guy. Those VBS trips were a hoot. Hainey Price and I led worship for the kids. That was an even bigger hoot.

Years later, after moving to OC, I saw Bill and his wife walk in one day. My jaw hit the ground. It had been many, many years. Now they live in Nashville and are an important part of our family here at Otter Creek. Bill has shown me Jesus on many occasions. He did again this week. I appreciate him a lot.

All that to say, the quote of the week for me comes from Bill who shared a quip that his football coach used to tell him...

"Keep adjusting, but keep moving!"

Thanks, Bill!
