I met a lady on a plane to Portland, Oregon last year who encouraged me to read a book called The Shack. We had an extensive discussion about life and God. So on landing, she thought the book was well worth reading and that it could significantly impact one’s life. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to read it yet. But I came across this post on Bible.org under the title The Shack: The Good, the Bad, and the Controversial.
In these times, it may be a good distraction from your problems and in the process, teach you something to help you deal with your own anger at God. I would be very interested in hearing your comments on this article and on the book.
Enjoy!

We are on a mission to distribute 100 of these CD’s per month about life on The Other Side of Death. If you have been one of those who have received this CD, we would love to hear from you.
We began a very limited distribution in Charlotte, NC in September 2008. On our next visit to that city in the spring, we hope to multiply our distribution many folds. We expect to begin distribution in Houston by December 1st, in the vicinity of FM 1960 and Veterans Memorial.
Our hope is that Jesus will use this CD to reach our target audience – the unchurched and the unbeliever. We would love to hear about its impact or lack of impact on your life or the lives of your family and friends. So be generous and share it with them, won’t you?

Have you lost hope already? As you look at the rest of today, are you feeling like you don’t care if you live to see tomorrow or not? No. You’re not thinking about suicide. But if you died today, that would be OK. You wish it would all just go away? If you could only have some peace. As you ponder your next move, there is only a blur, an emptiness, a blank space out front. Yet you can find hope, if you know where to look. Read the rest of this entry »

Thank you Lord for my Spouse! Yet God says I gave them to you and I charge you with the task of ministering to their deepest needs for love and self worth, to minister to your mate for Me. I know you think I gave them to you for you to get your needs met. But in fact, I have given them to you so you can care for them, so you can minister to their needs.

Hello everyone. I apologize for the long delay since my last post. Since then I have graduated from seminary and experienced my first post high school graduation ceremony. It was truly great. I enjoyed it very much. I debated about going to the ceremony. But since I did not attend my undergraduate ceremony, I thought I should go this time. I owed it to myself. I am so glad I did!
Since seminary consumed so much of my time, I have a lot of work to catch up on. So I’ve been tied down with that.
I have also traveled to North Carolina to perform my first wedding. I married my 50-something sister. This was her first ever wedding. She was a beautiful bride. I only made three or four mistakes, minor ones of course. Everyone thought it was a wonderful wedding. But of course, most of the guests were family. It was a big deal too! We had several guests to travel all the way from New York.
I also had occasion to attend a family member’s high school graduation here in my hometown.
And some final bit of news to update you on. In addition to our North Carolina trip, we have traveled to Alabama as well. We suffered the death of our only surviving aunt on my wife’s side of the family. She was 84 years old and fully committed to Jesus Christ. She was the last of her siblings. She left us a powerful bit of wisdom as spoken through her pastor in his remembrances of her and what she meant to him. I hope to share it with you sometime in the future.
We also experienced the lost of a very dear and long-time friend. We had lost contact for many years and had only reconnected within the last three years. He too was a very Godly man, more so than I had known. I only learned how much so at his funeral. I feel somewhat like I didn’t really know the real person, as a result of a limitation in me, not in him. Maybe I’ll have more to say about that in the future as well. His wife is sure to be very lonely without him. So please pray for Doris, her son’s and grandson.
So here I am, back on track. While I am still not caught up, it is time I got back to my calling, and what I love. I hope to have a first installment, albeit a short one, for my online book in a couple of weeks. And I also plan to publish other articles as well to include the mention of other projects we have been working on. We are looking forward to your input on them.
Thanks again for stopping by. We invite you to come back again real soon. And please, if you find something interesting, that causes you to think; or perhaps you’ve seen something you would like to explore with us, please leave a comment. We would love to hear from you. We won’t share your email address or other personal information outside of our ministries.
The grace of God be with you all.

Be careful what you pray for. You just might get it! Why do people say that? Where did it come from? I want what I pray for! I wish God would answer all my prayers just like I pray them!What does that mean any way: “Be careful what you pray for”? Click here to read more … Be Careful What You Pray For
