Acts unscripted

I am currently preaching through the book of Acts. I remember when I was in Junior High one particular night while I was staying over at my grandmother's house, me and my Uncle Scott (who now preaches at Crown Hill Church in Seattle, WA) stayed up into the wee hours of the morning reading through the book of Acts.

Honestly, it is something I will never forget. He would read a chapter, I would read a chapter. He would explain stuff as we went along. And I remember being so moved by what I was reading. I got emotional and so full of passion as I read about the courage of those disciples in the first century.

I wish I could replicate that experience. I don't think I have ever read Scripture like that since that time. In those moments I felt so close to God and my faith was so deeply encouraged that it is really hard to describe.

Nothing snazzy, no frills. All we did was read and talk about Acts. It was a profound moment for me in my faith journey.

Prayer Request

I have an Uncle in Seattle, WA who preaches at the Crown Hill Church of Christ. I went to live with him during my junior year of high school and graduated there (that's a post for another time). But he is definitely more like a brother to me than an uncle.

He is 46 years old and today he underwent quadruple bi-pass heart surgery. He is currently recovering in ICU and will be there for a full 24 hours before he can be moved into a normal room. I know that most of you reading this blog won't know him...but his name is Scott Sheridan.

Pray for him for me. Pray that he recovers. I would be forever grateful for your prayers.
