The pastor left early because the men were serving the brunch, and I noticed that the leak had gotten a lot worse &#8211; something in the supply line let go or something and I thought they were going to flood their bathroom during the brunch so I turned off the line and drained the tank.  When I told Cheryl, the women&#8217;s ministry director and pastor&#8217;s wife, she was so embarrassed that I would do that and then when she introduced me, she said, &#8220;Jennifer Shaw is FULL-SERVICE.  She does worship, she speaks, she writes songs and books, and this morning she fixed my toilet.&#8221;  Hilarious!  I&#8217;m sure one day God will show me how to use that as a sermon illustration&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it was a lovely brunch at Kent Christian Life Center and so good to meet everyone there.  The pastor and his wife were wonderful, and we had a great time with them.<\/p>\n<p>The next day I was back in my hometown of Columbus and did the entire morning service for The Crossing Community Church in Hilliard.  I was there last year, and it was great to be back!  They have a wonderful heart for missions and also for the special needs community, two things that are very near and dear to my heart.  So overall, a great weekend with new friends and old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just got back from another weekend of ministry, and fixed my first toilet for Jesus. \ud83d\ude42 Seriously, funny story, I was actually staying at the pastor&#8217;s house and we had noticed overnight that the toilet was dripping on the floor a bit.
