| Just thougth I would drop by and see if anyone is on Xanga anymore. Hello. . . .anyone out there? |
| |
| For those who are wondering this was meant to be my last Xanga post. I have retired. . .
Remember this as you seek to follow Christ especially His words in Matthew 24, He is going to empower those who reach out to the "least of these." The least of these can be rich or poor, but we must be reaching, touching and engaging the culture.
For those of us who are embracing this ministry I leave you with the words of Rev. James Forbes, "Nobody gets into heaven without a letter of reference from the poor." |

| It is a challege to call people to hear the Word and walk in it. There are tons of voices out there that have turned much of the church world, especially in America, into a selfish, self centered, inwardly focused institution. Too many of us have equated peace in our lives as being a sign of God's blessing.
There was an Enlish Bishop who once remarked, "Everywhere the Apostle Paul went there was a riot, everywhere I go they just serve tea!" Most of the time we live in a "tea serving" atmosphere. How safe our world is as Christians. We have learned to live and blend in. God is looking for a people who will sell out completely for Him. Remember this verse. . .
"For the eyes of the Lord go to and fro throughout the whole earth, that He may strongly support those whose hearts are completely His . . . 2 Chronicles 16:9 |

| I feel very frustrated to know how to respond to the unfolding events in the south. There is death, destruction and devastation and I have no idea how to make a difference except pray at this point.
How much we take our lives for granted. All can be wiped away in a moment of time.
My hope is built on nothing less. . .
P.S. I feel really really frustrated to know how to respond to the rising gas prices. I may be riding a bike to church during the week. I'm serious. I think I will buy some sheep to take care of my lawn. |
