"...time to do the Lord's work"

After enduring more than an hour rain delay, the CCA football fans were treated to a very exciting, offensively charged football game last Friday at Pine Crest.  Parents, teachers, and some very enthusiastic students filled the stands in support of the players and coaches.  But, again, it's the action after the game that has the fans focusing on the middle of the field.

As the clock was running out, Pastor Topher over heard Sean Lashbrook telling another player, "Now it's time to do the Lord's work."  In what is becomming the most watched play of the night, the CCA players and coaches make one on one connections with the opposing team and pray.  Even the fans pause their post game planning and evaluations and begin to pray for the ministry at hand.  God is doing a mighty work in the hearts of our players, and their obedience "AT ALL TIMES" is having an impact for Christ not only on CCA's campus, but in schools across the state.

Brandon Knight, the nation's top basketball prospact and Pine Crest student, attended last Friday's game.  He wore a Nike t-shirt with the word "WITNESS" written accross the chest.  Usually, this refers to watching, or being an eye witness to, someone with exceptional talent or skill.  As I watched the Spirit of the Lord work in the middle of the football field, I was so thankful to be a "witness" to that which holds eternal rewards.
