Last evening was quite an eventful one. As services dismissed, Dave, Dustin and I met for a little while - our only chance to have a staff meeting all weekend. When that was concluded, Dave realized that he had misplaced his check. What followed was a 15-minute period of franticness! We seached HIGH. We searched low. We searched places we didn't even know we had. Dave retraced his steps throughout the weekend, seeking help from anyone he could. Frustration was about to give birth to acceptance of loss when Dustin, taking one last search of his van, discovered the wayward renumeration under some other packings -- and oh, the joy that ensued!!
In the last few weeks, I've thought a lot about those who don't know Jesus as their Savior. I'm wondering, if there will ever come a time when they will realize something is missing and if they do, will they search HIGH and search low and search everywhere they can possibly imagine. And if they are just about to give up - will there be someone who can offer them hope by saying "I've got what you're looking for."
Lost in thought,
Pastor Todd

Sometimes it seems like when all hope of find something is gone, it pops up out of thin air (or from above).
It seems like with the upcoming Easter, it is the perfect time to help others find "what all should be looking for".

Thanks for making me a sermon illustration
Congratulations Dave, now your famous!
Wow -- that's a deep thought from a not-so-deep situation....
Hey -- maybe we're in the right spot to be that guy -- Finding salvation and meaning for life is much better than finding a check. Even when you're a poor college student.
