Dustin Galyon is an admissions counselor and the head men's basketball coach here at HC. He's young (25), extremely friendly, and indescribably energetic. The Energizer Bunny has NOTHING on this guy. If you've ever seen the animated movie Hoodwinked, he has the energy of that squirrel (if you haven't seen this movie, you should. It's a cute and funny movie.)He gave the message at Campus Worship tonight. He's the only person I know who can talk at the speed of light for 40 minutes straight without a pause. He paced up and down the rows of chairs, stopping at empty ones to climb up on top of them to speak for about 30 seconds before he clambered down again. His message was so good though.....he made his whole basketball team come. Big, tough guys who don't come from the greatest backgrounds or the greatest neighborhoods heard his passionate invitation. He told the story of Peter denying Jesus three times, and how Jesus later asked Peter three times "Do you love me?" He talked about struggles in his own life and about his favorite name for Jesus: Redeemer. It was a powerful and convicting message.
**Ok, I have to stick a quote or two in here**
Dustin: "And do you know what Peter did when he realized it was Jesus standing there on the shore? He jumped over the side of the boat, into the freezing cold water, and started swimming! He's heading straight for Jesus, blazing through the water, Michael-Phelps-ing it to shore!"
Dustin: "Now I know I'm nowhere close to perfect. I mean, I blow my nose in the shower!" (a popular campus rumor about Dustin)
Dustin: (yelling) "That tomb was empty so that your lives don't have to be!"

That last quote was really encouraging to me. Thanks for sharing!
