Greg

Greg Eichelberger is a good friend of mine. I think that he is most likely a good friend of many people. He is just that kind of person. Greg is stepping down from the Romeoville Arts Director position to help start a new church in Schaumburg called Waterfront. I'll be honest, I am hoping that I can even come close to how well he served over there. He is so well liked and respected by everyone that I know. That campus is run extremely well with a great team of leaders. In addition to being so likable I have always found him to be very insightful. He always has the knack of being able to see deeply into any situation and interpret and explain it. I think that is a part of what many of us call "wisdom". Yep, he has it.

He does many things so well: play guitar, worship lead; he also has a great ear and knowledge of sound. That is why you can listen to any recordings he has engineered and be easily impressed. Just check out the Reign Man CD, or any of the Vanessa E. recordings; yes, even my former band Water 2 Wine. There are also some good CCC recordings. The list goes on.

However, here is the best part. He is a great family man. I see how he is around them and it is great. Of course, I have been jokingly warning him about when his kids become...TEENAGERS! heh, heh, heh, heh (insert extended evil laugh here). His wife Vanessa has such a warm, loving heart. They make a great pair (18 years and counting - just like Mary and I).

I could go on but I hope you get the point. He will do quite awesome at Waterfront. I know that on my end, as Romeoville Arts Director, I will do all I can to help him and their team (and I know the campus will as well).

I can't thank him enough for being there through my tough times the last three months. He has been there in more ways than I can count. I know that he also is there for others: whether in need or to just have a beer. Wish him well when you see him.

And by the way, please pray for his dad as some difficult times have surfaced in his battle with cancer. God can do miraculous things. Let's pray it up!

I have some other people to talk about. But that is for the next post...

(BTW, I did see the Indiana Jones movie today and liked it a lot! I'll comment later...)
