Love doesn’t do difficult work for a

“respectable” period of time and then give it up. It

hangs in there and, if necessary, endures indefinitely.

In the real world, people and their problems can be

exhausting. So we try to help them for a while, but if

they don’t shape up pretty quickly, we have a

tendency to write them off as losses. But love suffers

long. It knows how to keep waiting when waiting is

hard. Michael Reed - Minister

A friend sent me this email, and I would like to pass on to everyone. Also, if you could let me know if the story is true or not, that be great.

Then he said to the disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” –Matthew 9:37-38

Students do not sit at Texas A&M football games. The A&M athletic department is built on the traditions of the 12th Man. During a football game in 1922, the underdog Aggies were playing the nation’s number one ranked team. Player after player left the field unable to return and the Aggies had limited reserves. From the stands, came a former football player. E. King Gill suited up and stood on the sidelines ready to play for the remainder of the game. At the end of the game, he was the only man standing. The courage and heart displayed by this fan has encouraged others to follow his lead. At each game, fans stand symbolically ready to go into the game. Students are more than just spectators; they are the 12th man, ready to go in if the team should need them. Where do you see yourself when it comes to “Spiritual Team”? Are you sitting on the sideline or are you in the game? You are a part of the team. Stand up and be ready. Jesus saw the huge crowds that were following Him and His disciples, so he told them to pray that workers would be ready. Many are ready to give their lives to Christ, but they need someone to show them how. Jesus tells us to pray for workers. The workers are few. We are all ministers to those God has put in our lives. You are part of the team. You are a worker. Be ready for God to use you! Is, the story true, and are you ready to step in and be the 12th man for Christ. Todd
