The vision came to you and now you’re looking at all kinds of mission trips, mission trips to Africa, college mission trips, and family mission trips.

Put On the Shelf

2009-12-04T14:40:00.000-08:00

Today, I discovered that putting my heater on the ground instead of on a shelf. The room quickly heated up. It got me thinking what else have I put on the shelf. Others things I have been putting on the shelf at times were gifts given to me by my Mom and Grandma. They were giving me food stuff like hot sauce, pineapple salsa, micro beers, and wines. They wanted me to experience the local flavors

What is in a dollar?

2009-12-03T13:45:00.000-08:00

What is in a dollar? I know you’re going to 100 pennies. No, it’s an agreement to you and me. I agree that this is worth this much only because this bill is worth something to somebody else. That’s what God said to you and me he sent his only begotten Son into world to save our wretched behinds. Can you imagine sending your son or daughter into a fallen world where there is death and hatred? God

Am I Nuts?

2009-11-28T20:20:00.000-08:00

Life is scary if we make it out to be. When I was a truck driver I continually find people and tell me you were there, that’s a bad neighborhood to get out and walk are you nuts. Am I nuts,well I-suppose I am. It seems to me it’s only what you make of it that’s bad. You got to act like you belong there that’s the key. The other major factor is God has your back in any situation. He is not going

Daraja

2009-11-24T17:02:00.000-08:00

Wow!! I had an amazing two days. First I want to say thanks Daraja Children’s Choir of Africa. I got to serve them drinks and clean up after their dinner. I know this sounds like nothing to be thankful for but in reality I got to know these precious souls. They have been through most Hell adults could ever imagine and yet they came all the way from Africa (Kenya) to share and perform for me.

My Relationship with God

2009-11-23T11:28:00.000-08:00

You know I have had a word that keeps popping up in my head. That word is consistency how am I consistent with the things I do? More importantly how am I consistent in my relationship with God. Well my first thought during thought process is that I am. Now I’m not sure .I do have some consistent things I do like driving to work, work, eat and just play around and not get things done. These things

Stocking the Shelves

2009-11-17T16:54:00.000-08:00

I’m sorry followers. It has been so hectic lately I have neglected you. As we go into the holiday season there are millions of people without hope. They have not found Jesus. What are we doing to promote Him? It doesn’t have to be that hard. It really is just living your lives in a Joyous manner with compassion. Christ called us to live joyfully. Are you living that way? Are you complaining

Idle time

2009-10-24T11:53:00.000-07:00

It seems like I have a lot idle time and I don’t know what to do. I know I work a full time job and thank God for that but its only forty hours. People look at me weird sort of way when I say that. Maybe you do too! If you don’t know I’m so used to working truck driving hours. Working a normal work week is boring. You see as a truck driver you are require to work 70 hours that’s just what the

What road are you on?

2009-10-15T11:07:00.000-07:00

What road are you on? I got a saying,” God's road should not be different than your road.” What is God’s road? Well lets look at the two greatest commandments in Matthew. Jesus replied: “‘LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'LOVE your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law

Knock Knock Anybody Home

2009-10-12T11:09:00.000-07:00

God’s the greatest don’t you know. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7 This verse has been in my head for a few weeks or months. You see here in America I think churches are too closed to people. See I think we see God as one day maybe two day experience. We got it wrong. We are so scared people are going to take things,

You took something from me and I want it back

2009-10-09T08:41:00.000-07:00

You know it’s going to be a good day when you wake singing to the Lord. You know I think God enjoys humor because I am really bad at singing. I can see his face laughing in delight when I sing. Lately I have been really struggling with, “You(my wife)took something from me and I want it back.” God gives you the answers of unexpectedness, don’t ya know. This morning’s devotional from The Upper
