Field Of Dreams

It’s Saturday morning and everything is fairly quiet around the Elrod homestead (which is unusual).  As I switched around a few television channels looking for news I stumbled onto a movie I dearly love…”Field Of Dreams“.  It is such a metaphor for church planting….

• Seeing a vision that others can’t see.
• Watching “the light come on” in people when they finally get the vision.
• Being told you’re crazy because you are doing the unthinkable.
• Building something from nothing in an area it shouldn’t be.
• Watching people come out of nowhere to respond.
• Helping those that the world has forgotten or cast aside.

I love what I do.  I love the calling that God has placed in my heart.  I love that I have the privilege and honor of preaching God’s Word.  I love that I get to serve Him in Lakeland, Florida.  I love that I get up everyday and get to do something that…I love.  “Field Of Dreams” reminds me of that…and I cry like a baby every time I watch it.
