Rob Cereghin from the city just called and said we will be mowing, weed whacking, and watering the new trees along with pulling weed and mulching. People who are working should try to bring wheel barrows, shovels, rakes, gloves, eye protection (adults to weed whack) and 5 gallon buckets to carry water. I will have assignments on posters in the lobby on Sunday.

Laura – wife.  Sam Dotson (16) and Jake Dotson (14)

Occupation:
TCB, baby!  (Taking Care of Business)

How did you meet your wife?
Laura and I met on the interwebz on a Christian dating site.  We originally emailed on Fathers Day weekend of 2010, met for the first time July 4 weekend and married October 22, 2010.  I know it sounds corny but I consider her my soul mate and I would go through everything again if I knew she was waiting for me.

Hobbies:
I will read anything with words.  I am passionate about my favorite team winning Super Bowls which is why Jesus had me born in Pittsburgh.  At night, I become The Caped Crusader.

Hidden Talents:
I remember far too many trivial things about 80’s music that is of no use to anyone.

Favorite place to eat:
Who’s paying?

Which Bible person would you like to have dinner with (Other than Jesus) and why?
Moses.  The fact that on several occasions he was reluctant to serve and yet did so with such great results fascinates me.

What excites you about serving as an Elder at DCC?

I believe we are just beginning to see a tiny bit of what God has in store for us this excites and at times intimidates me.

What can the congregation at DCC pray for you?
Wisdom, courage and strength.  The wisdom to know what God wants me to do, the courage to do it and the strength to see it through.

The essence of masculinity is taking responsibility.  Real Men take responsibility for their families.

NOTE: I apologize for the audio quality.  It’s a bit shifty and muffled in places.

How did you meet your wife?
At Lincoln Christian College, now University. I was 22 and she was 17. I thought I would give this little freshman girl a thrill and take her out for a date because she kept flirting with me. I gave her 18 yellow roses for her 18th birthday and she considered that a marriage proposal, so 1 1/2 years later, I married her after having time to think about it, so I knew what I was getting into!

Hobbies:
None

They are well hidden; so much so that you can’t find them!

What excites you about serving as an Elder at DCC?
To be able to shepherd the flock.

That I could be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove.
