homelessness & winter weather

Hello friends of the homeless in Martinsville and Henry County. 
As we continue to plan for an emergency homeless shelter there is a present need with the winter weather headed our way. There is a group of people meeting to plan an emergency homeless shelter that will be at the Salvation Army.  The plans are still being made.  I wish this was already done and open. 
The need is now. Some of the people in our church and some in our community desire to help those who are homeless and cold. If you know of people in need now, those we can help now, contact me or do something to help. 
Email me to share. Talk to your friends and family. Do something with what you have and what you have influence over. 
The low temperature will be worse on Monday and Tuesday with lows in the single digits. The need is real. You and I have the ability to serve others.  
Our community needs a homeless shelter year round. But it is times like this that we have to have a place to keep people safe and warm as well to feed them. 
You understand my heart. If you want to help and get involved, let me know.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
