My, How Things Change!

Twenty-eight years ago two parents bought a tenor saxophone on credit for their son who was in the seventh grade.  He wanted to learn to play for selfish reasons:  some of his favorite songs featured a tenor sax solo, he dreamed of playing and all the women swooning, etc.,  

Somewhere between then and today this young boy realized that when surrendering his life to Christ for a life of service; he did not surrender his dreams.  Once he surrendered everything then God began to change the direction this young man's life was headed.

Today he, his wife, and three children are serving as independent Baptist missionaries in the country of Croatia.  Today the saxophone was used to play Amazing Grace at a funeral where a clear gospel message was presented to more than two hundred people.  Many of which had never heard that salvation is a free gift in Jesus Christ.  

His grace truly is amazing; especially to this young man who used to think more selfishly.  If only I could be even less selfish how much more His grace would abound.  "He must increase, but I must decrease."        John 3:30
