Introducing a new feature here on stevenfurtick.com:
Every Friday (that I remember to do it) I’ll be highlighting someone as my hero of the day.

Stay tuned. You could be next.

This week’s hero of the day is actually not a person, but a couple. So they are technically the heroes of the day. Unless you consider this verse. On to the point.

The subtitle of this post is Flowers in the Bathroom.

That’s because every week at Elevation, Steve and Carol Eyler, 2 of our volunteer staff members, clean the bathrooms.

Big deal right?

Not so fast. Remember, we meet in a public high school. Do you remember what the bathrooms in a public high school look like during the week? And what they smell like. (I hope you’re not eating as you read this.)

Well, the people who attend Elevation every week will never have to know what the public high school restrooms look like. Or smell like. Because by the time Steve and Carol get done scrubbing them (often before the sun even comes up), the bathrooms are as sparkling as a high school bathroom could ever be.

The icing on the cake? They always put flowers in the bathroom. Nice touch.

Does this matter? Are these two highly capable and gifted people using their time well? Yes. It’s one less obstacle between somebody and the gospel. It’s a demonstration of our staff mantra: EVERYTHING matters.

So Steve and Carol are the hero(es) of the day. Happy restroom using, Elevation. Rock on.
