Josh Simpson - HERO!

Look at this from the Chicago Tribune.
Teen's heroism told after lake drowning

Bryan Eatmon can't believe how fast it happened: One minute, eight teens were goofing around in Lake Michigan,cooling off on a steamy day. The next, they were gasping for air,dragged underwater by a fierce undercurrent.
The waves at the Waukegan Beach on Thursday battered Eatmon like fists throwing punches, hard and relentless.
His friend Joshua Lamar Simpson, 19, tugged on Eatmon's arm, drawing him closer to shore and giving Eatmon time to regain footing and catch his breath. I was giving up," said Eatmon, 19. "I saw him -- he was right in front of me. He told me I was going to be all right.


Our Josh Simpson is a hero too. He is the best Jr High Pastor I have ever met. You might not hear him speak at a YS Conference or at a huge rally, but he ministers to Jr High students in a way that connects with students in a powerful way. I love you Josh Simpson!! Read his blog here.

Check him out here ladies! He is single!!
