Vision

INTRODUCTION
Good Evening Southpointe!
I want to talk to you nothing on vision.
Have you noticed that so many people go through life without a plan?

There's no vision for where they're going.
vision for where they're going.
For example, years ago I was in seminary and I
In your notes make sure that you get this one done:
had to commute about an hour and a half one way to get to cla
ss.
I wrote a paper
the day before for class and left it at my church building, First Methodist
Church downtown.
I went home and got up the next morning at 5:30 a.m. and
realized I left my paper at the church.
Some of you who are younger say, "Why didn
't you just print out a new one?
Why
didn't you just email it?"
This was 17 years ago or so, this was one step past click, click, click; white

Okay, so I had to go back there and print out a new one and so I rushed to the
church as early as I co
uld to get there.
I took out my little key card to get in
and I put it up against the little beeper thing and it wouldn't let me in!
Panicked, couldn't get my paper, early in the morning, had to get to class!
What
I realized is that there was probably a ti
mer set that you could only get in
during certain hours.
So I panicked, I prayed, I panicked!
I remembered, thank
God, that I always left my window up on the second story, out on the edge,
unlocked because no one in their right mind would ever climb up the
second story
building and go get in my office that way.
I climbed up the outside of the carport, stood on top of this thing, looked all
the way over there and realized it wa
s a really long ledge.
I started going
along the side of the building like this as carefully as I could, scared to
death to look down!
I came to my window which was on the other side of a ledge,
and so I took this giant step around, held on underneath the
window like this.
I
to look down and when I did my heart sank.
I froze, I was paralyzed, didn't know
what to do.
I couldn't figure out, I was afraid to go back and I was standi
ng
there clinging for my life!
It was 6:00 a.m., no cellphone, no way to get help
and I just started begging God to send somebody, please!
Thirty minutes later, somebody finally came walking down the street.
I said,
"Hey!"
They were looking up there an
d I'm like, "Would you mind calling for
help?"
They were like, "I'll dial the police right now since you are trying to
break in!
Well anyway, the fire department came and lifted the ladder up there and took
Pastor Craig off of the second story building
at First United Methodist Church
at 7:00 a.m. in the morning!
