Some of my favorite guys

Everyone has people they enjoy the company of more than others. I have blessed in my life to have a lot of individuals I enjoy being around. I have been blessed to be a small apart of the ministry of the Christian quartet, The HIMS, over the last several years. After a couple of lineup changes, the group currently consists of brothers Bobby and Brooks Rawson, Todd Sanderson and Brad Laman. I was able as a high school student to design the group's first album cover (before the days of so much technology) and help Bobby write a song for the group.

One thing that I love about this group of guys is, that although they don't sing at many events, they enjoy the roles they have as ministers in song. People in the community remark to me all the time how they had never heard a cappella music until they heard The HIMS perform. In a world where so many men and ministers are running after the praise of men, these guys just keep singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs carrying the message of Jesus. All four have ministry roles in the congregations where they worship (Todd and Bobby preach each week in addition to working full-time secular work and all four men are deacons) and all four work full-time jobs and are raising families.

If I have learned one thing from these four men, it is that God doesn't need us all to be super saints or even full-time workers, He just needs us to be faithful with the talents we have been given.
