some great people


I looked around the room last night at the meeting I was attending, and once again I was left grateful for the people I get to serve with.  This week is the annual meeting of Raceway Ministry groups from around the nation.  These really are great people.

In the room was one of my Spiritual and ministry mentors that has poured in to my life at a couple critical times, and his love for broken people as well as his ability to think critically has blessed me big time.

Further back I see a man I have been able to serve with at the speedway for 15 years, and he is now 91 years old.  His heart for people, his unending commitment, and his perseverance and smile bless me every time we are together.

I met a couple new people.  We have been Facebook friends for a while.  I’ve heard about their creativity and building relationships in some pretty cool places.  It is awesome to connect.

There are many people at this meeting that I learn from and dearly love.  It is awesome to work with people with great integrity and passion.

We must all bless the people we come in contact with.  How will you do that today?

Proverbs 11:30 nlt
The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends.

Proverbs 17:17 nlt
A friend is always loyal ,and a brother is born to help in time of need.

Proverbs 27:17 nlt
As iron sharpens iron,so a friend sharpens a friend.

Ephesians 2:19 nlt
So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God's holy people. You are members of God's family.

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 ...
