I recently finished reading Chris Tomlin's book The Way I Was Made a second time and thought I would share one story he writes about that really struck a chord with me. "Neil is one of those guys that can read your mail, if you know what I mean. He sees through to the truth about people and situations and seems to know what to do. All in a very unnoticed kind of way. I could tell you four or five stories that would blow you away, but I'll keep it to one. Neil was having lunch at the Kettle (yep, the same landmark of Brownwood cuisine I already mentioned). He was in the area for a speaking engagement.

Moved. That's how I feel. Moved. When is the last time you felt this way? What made you feel that way? What did you do about it? I have felt moved all weekend, actually since last Thursday.

I want to encourage you with everything… Read More

Ok, so for those of you who don't know, I raise money as a missionary to provide for my family. It's a tough thing, especially in these times of people worrying about the economy. HOWEVER, it also provides a great opportunity for us to develop our trust and faith in God. Never have we gone without, never have we not had our needs, and many of our desires met. Yes, it gets tough we I haven't received a paycheck for a month, or month and a half. And yet, the faith that we've developed as we've watched God meet our needs time and time again has been huge! What I really hate, is when people get defensive towards me and their first response is that… Read More
