A Great Man of God passes to His reward

David Wilkerson was killed in a head on car crash yesterday here in East Texas. Check out this link to read a very few comments from those touched by God through him. So many in this part of East Texas know personally of his generosity. I remember when he forgave the 300,000 dollars remaining to be paid by Mercy Ships for their first property, when we were working there. I will remember this week not for the Royal Wedding, or the devastating tornadoes, but for the passing of a faithful servant of God. May we take up the torch.

Fragrant

This is a sweet smelling blossom, that means we enjoy it's presence, it delights our senses, it brings good things to our minds, it is a pleasing experience. Paul tells us to live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. When we are full of Jesus, we are sweet smelling too. He is risen!

Lessons from the Garden

I have a little garden up in the field above our house. I've just picked a good bunch of salad greens for some people we are having over for dinner tonight. It reminds me that today is the day of Resurrection Week that represents the preparation, the last passover, the washing of the disciples feet, the prayer for all believers, the disciples falling asleep, the night time visit to the familiar garden, and Jesus' betrayal to death.

We remember ... and the memory causes us to go on and on.

After One Week

I spent a week helping a friend remodel a lake house last week and am I sore! Especially my hands.

This is Resurrection week and yesterday we read the story from the gospel of John about Jesus' last week of work. His conflict with those that hate him, his care for those that follow him, his institution of the New Covenant, his dedication to his Father, his emotional struggle, his intense spiritual prayer, his suffering, and his glory. No wonder the myriads of angels say "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!"

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord O my soul

Joy comes in the Morning

Resurrection Sunday is coming up later this month and with a little help from my family we have a newly released song called He Lives Forevermore (click on the title to go to the link). Jesus said "my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work" The "finished work" was multifaceted, as this little song for my grandchildren reflects. Share the joy of the Resurrection with a friend!

One man's trash

I had the pleasure of taking Alathea (Laylay)  for a mini burger today and after cleaning up she wanted to look into the bag of throw away things. I should have known she would find some left overs! Grandpas don't think about these things...  

Feeling the Father's Heart

Celebration at the Homecoming

I spent a week in Jordan feeling the Father's heart for his children and trying to help clarify the truths that God continues to communicate through his word and his body. There was healing for me in the process as this is the how our good Lord works his ways. It was great to be back in the M.E. again.
