Another reason

Forgive me for not writing and posting more this week. My team has been busy helping hurting people in our community and looking for property for The Community Dream Center.

But as the picture shows, I've got another reason too. Our middle child, Ruth, had to have emergency surgery yesterday to remove her appendix. She is recovering well and having some pain. Ruth has been strong and patient. Much more than her dad has.

What a busy, emotional but good week. We've seen God work and heard His voice many times. I have a great family. I have a great church family as well.

This weekend will be good with a community meeting for the Give Back Foundation (Saturday at 11:30am at Collinsville library; everyone is invited), a picnic to celebrate 20 years of work for Raceway Ministries here in Martinsville (every volunteer is invited; 5pm Saturday in the infield at Martinsville Speedway), a wedding my wife and daughter hope to attend (Motsch family from church), an exciting worship experience (Sunday at 10:10am be there), and the 3rd info meeting for The Community Dream Center (5pm Sunday at Refuge Temple church on Clearview Drive in Martinsville; everyone is invited). Big stuff. More vision to share.

I continue to claim Hebrews 12:12 that says we are to strengthen our tired hands and get a better grip and strengthen our weak knees through prayer and moving forward. Join me and our team as we step forward to serve others and love God with our lives.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
