great quotes

 


We are back at the speedway and serving race fans.  For the last 23 years I have had the honor of being part of the team known as Raceway Ministries Martinsville.  This group is part of a larger group that serves race fans across the country.


It is an honor to be in ministry serving Jesus and sharing Him with others.  But it thrills me and gets me even more excited when we can serve people that might not walk in to a church.


Please join me in praying for those that hear about Jesus.  


And I ask that you think outside of the box with me.  Getting creative, learning from others and going further, all for the glory of God, really does make life better and better.


Here are a few quotes that have stuck with me for a long time.  Read and see what sticks with you.

 

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." - Walt Disney

 

“Life Moves Pretty Fast. If You Don’t Stop And Look Around Once In A While, You Could Miss It.” - from the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

 

"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." - Babe Ruth

 

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

 

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter." - Francis Chan

 

“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” – Napoleon Hill

 

And finally a couple of my all time favorites:

 

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” – Robert Frost

 

John 3:16 KJV 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Thank you for your prayers.  Have a great weekend!

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....
