i love this guy. obviously, i'm married. but i still love this brother. he absolutely made my day on sunday morning [story below]!
corey moved to iowa city from ames like many of us to plant the church. he actually lived with us for a few weeks before he could move into his apartment. he was an awesome guest in our house! we especially loved that he grilled out for us.
anyway, he has been one of the several super committed servants to wake up at 5am on sundays and start loading up our "portable church." he's always lifting something super heavy or something like that. corey is setting up, ushering, passing out programs, tearing down, pretty much every week. he's there, he's consistent, and my favorite thing about him is that he's on the ball.
last sunday was our second week in the marriott and clint (i call him our producer) was out of town. needless to say, it was a little rough. corey calls me while i'm at work at the coffee shop and leaves me a message. he was wondering where the programs were so he could make sure they were folded and ready to go for church.
i can't think of a single other person (volunteer, nonetheless) who would be so on top of everything that he would notice the programs were missing.
that's how awesome this guy is! i am so thankful for him! i had already folded the programs and had them with me, so i called him and told him there was nothing to worry about. he was relieved.
i was telling bryan how awesome corey was and he responded with this golden nugget of truth: "there are some people, who have the same work ethic all the time. corey is like that. so even though corey is a volunteer, he takes it just as seriously as his job."
truer words were never spoken.
so, thanks corey, for challenging bryan and i to be awesome like you. and thanks for all you do for veritas, we're a blessed church!
