33 years


 

Proverbs 18:22  NLT  

The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.


I have.  I am blessed.  And for 33 years Julie and I have been married.


That is why I take a personal day to let you and the world and to remind Julie that I am blessed.  It is obvious.


Life together.  Ministry through the years.  Family in many places.  Three awesome kids.  Sweet and precious grand kids.  Memories.  Adventures.  Trials.  Victories.  Tears.  Special moments.  Some we want to forget.  Many more we want to cherish.  Life is sweet and a gift from God.


Another reason to let you know that my best friend, my partner in life, the best mom and juije has been my wife for 33 incredible years.


Has every year been perfect?  No.  Have we grown and learned and moved forward?  Yes.  And we will continue for as many more as God gives us.  Blessed!


I am forever grateful for Julie.  She truly is a gift from God.  Julie is the Lord’s favor for me.


Proverbs 31:28-20  NLT  

Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: 29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!” 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.


In a little over a week I will be back in Cuba.  Bob Texidor and I will be in Cuba serving the sports ministry team around Havana.  Please pray for this mission trip and the ministry in Cuba.  Pray for the resources needed and freedom of the people of Cuba.  If you would like to help, please reach out to me at pastormh@gmail.com

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...
