Walmart lovin’

I was a little sneaky taking this picture.  It is a rare occasion that we get to take photos of the people we pray for and get to love on.  But I just couldn’t resist.
We decided to invade the Walmart parking lot with Jesus yesterday.  We set up a table and chairs with Gatorade, ice [...]

Palm tree Christmas

For a while I had a hard time thinking about spending Christmas without family.  Before we got to Florida, we had no clue where we would be for the big day.  Thoughts of being parked in a Walmart parking lot were not terribly enticing but I was trying to keep a good attitude.  I would [...]

Being bold and desiring change

We’ve been encouraged by what is happening at New Day Christian Church.  The pastor, Jamie, along with the elders of the church, have made some “risky” moves in the desire and passion to see this body of believers to get out of the four walls of the building.  Jamie knows, as we all do deep [...]

We are truly blessed

Many people have said that this is a good time to be on the road ministering to the poor, I usually respond with “now is always the best time to respond to the call of God.”  I think what they are getting at is that with economic recession, many people are losing their jobs, more [...]

The impact of a child

We have said many times that our kids are a huge part of our ministry.  They often warm up a room (or liven a room, more accurately) and break down walls with as much as their presence.
But there are those times when I am blown away at how the Lord speaks through them and they [...]

Blessed Appointment

All I can say is, “wow”.
With tears in my eyes, I sat out on the porch that overlooked the ocean and watched pelicans diving for their food. This place is beautiful! And better yet, the family that we are staying with are GREAT!   Thank you Barry and Lynda, Mallary and Ansley!
We arrived [...]

Slowing down

As Andy and I prayed the other night, we heard Him saying to us, “Slow down”.  Our spirits have felt rushed recently,  due to many frustrations, attempts by the enemy to distract, and a spirit of duty trying to rest on our shoulders as we continue as “missionaries”. We are seeing this as a time [...]

Our flesh is weak

We have always wanted everyone to know that we aren’t going to sugar-coat things, we want to resist the usual missionary line that says everything is good, God is doing great things through us as we have wonderful days feeding the poor, loving the homeless and saving souls. [...]

Scorned Consequences

Faith is not belief in spite of the circumstances, faith is life lived in scorn of the consequences.
Clarence Jordan

Possibly my most enjoyable era of history is the American Civil War, it has intrigued me since I was a child looking through books my Dad had on the pictorial history of the war.  The underlining issues [...]
