The Team: Gary Darling
May 11, 2009 Print This Post
It’s Monday and that means it’s time for me to brag on our of our team at Riv.
Today’s target? Gary Darling.
Gary is a great example of someone from one generation pouring into other generations. Gary is a retiree (and I don’t even know what he did for a career…shame on me) who volunteers tons of time around here.
He and his wife faithfully teaching in our RivKids program. But it doesn’t stop there, they watch little kids for our MOPS program as well, which is a blast to watch. He is on the floor with the kids, playing and eating crazy kid snacks, and generally loving on the kids.
He also “babysits” our website. He keeps it updated each week, uploading the messages and constantly searching for the elusive broken link. Gary is even overseeing our team that is working on our bi-annual website overhaul. On top of all this, he runs his own site called Project405.
If there is one word I would use to describe Gary it would be “faithful.” He epitomizes Jesus’ admonition:
Matthew 5:37 Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.
When Gary says he will do it, then he will, period. We need more Garys.
