City of Champions!


Today the city of Pittsburgh celebrates the 6th Super Bowl win of the beloved Pittsburgh Steelers with a parade where hundreds of thousands will spill into the street to cheer. We had a blast watching the game on Sunday and we are so proud of being part of the Steelers Nation. I don't know what it is - maybe being part of something bigger than we are. Going outside and yelling on Sunday night was greeted with yells back from neighbors in every direction, fireworks and general celebration. Work found last week and this filled with common conversations of pride for our Steelers.
I guess that's what I love so much about Iron City Church too. Being part of a bigger plan than our own. God's plan. God's purpose for His people here. People driven by the love of Jesus and committed to obeying His instructions. The humility of being a cog in a wheel that is making tracks - slower than we'd like but making tracks that have eternal consequences. It feels good. It feels right. Oh - sometimes it feels hard too but then, I guess that's been a life lesson - hard is usually good stuff.
Sunday is a big day for Iron City Church. Be praying for God to make some things happen!
