the game. our story


The game.  That is kind of what started the entire thing.


I have been able to be part of events in our local schools this week that are hosted by Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).  Olympic gold medalist Leah O’Brien Amico has been sharing her story about faith and the game she has accomplished so much through.


Watching these students be drawn in to her story has been incredible.  She has talked about finish purpose and living with strength.  So many student athletes have spent a few minutes of one on one time getting encouragement and insight in how to better their game and prepare for what is ahead.


Leah has shared so many things that go way past the game.  She has shared what will help each of us be better people, to accomplish more and even to contribute enormous blessings to the things we are involved in.


But what has touched me most is how this lady loves people and uses her story to share about how Jesus has made a difference in her life, influenced her on the playing field and helped her live with goals and purpose.


Google her.  Find her podcast.  Listen to her story.  Pray for the students that heard this week.  Pray for those she will share with in the future.


Romans 10:15  NLT  

And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”


Share your story of what God has done in your life.  Use the place God has given you to influence others.  You will be able to influence others to get to know God as you have.


God chose us to share His story, and it is an awesome opportunity.


1 Thessalonians 2:8  NLT  

We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
