downloading some things from this week


Here are some of the things that this week has brought my way that are leading to a great weekend and greater future:

1.  Last Sunday hearing 2 men share how God is working in their lives.

2.  Listening to my son read and even enjoy reading for a few minutes.

3.  My wife is excited about the class she just started in her Master’s degree and excited about the future too.

4.  Sold my vehicle this week which was my favorite of all time, but selling it creates some much-needed margin in our family budget (now to find another vehicle we can pay cash for).

5.  Walking into a possible building for our Dream Center and spending some time dreaming about the possibilities and the people who may be changed there.

6.  Listening to my girls talk about the activities they are part of and succeeding at.

7.  Preaching at a local Presbyterian church with a really cool pastor and talking through issues of giving and receiving forgiveness.

Seven items.  Seven is a Biblical number that is often associated with good and God things.  Each of these has a place in my heart, and through this busy, full week has brought light, excitement and joy my direction.

So what are you excited about?  How has God worked in your life this week and given you passion to move on in life?  Our God is big and is at work all around us.  I can’t wait to see and learn what is next.

He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.

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....

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 ...
