In a few hours, I will be headed to the valley in a van full of gift boxes for the children in the shelter at Cuidad Miguel Alemán. There are many children living in this shelter so our church staff, along with some donations from others, have put together a gift box for each child. [...]

Do You Think God Is Thankful?
Posted in Formation, Motivational on November 29, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving. I trust you had a time of fellowship with family and friends and that you ate your fair share of turkey, ham, dressing and all the other things that follow this tradition. I also hope you had time to think on those things for which you are thankful. Each day, [...]
Thanksgiving Can Be Difficult

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in America. A day when family comes together to eat too much and spend a wonderful time reliving memories and making new ones. My prayer for each of you this Thanksgiving season is that God grants you clarity in seeing all the ways you are blessed. Give thanks this week. [...]
Thankful In The Midst

Yesterday, I talked about the instructions in James chapter 1 that tells us we should be joyful when we encounter trials (you can link to that post here). We talked about the difference between joy and happiness. This morning as I sat down to have my prayer time, I read a blog post from Jim [...]
Trials Will Come

Several weeks ago, I began a small group for young adults, 25 and younger. It has been a true blessing to get to know each of the folks more deeply. Yesterday, we started a new study – on the book of James. We made it all the way through verse 3 (this may take a [...]
Fast Thoughts

The response from the day of fasting for Mexico has been great! I had a friend tell me on Wednesday that she participated in the fast and prayer for Mexico on Tuesday. She shared that she had never fasted in her life. It was a good experience for her reminding her of just how much [...]
Intentional Prayer for Mexico

For those of you who have been following my thoughts over the last several days, you know that today is the day that I have called for a fast for Mexico – particularly for the people along the border between Mexico and Texas. I appreciate all of you who have left comments here or on [...]
Violence Along the Border
Posted in Community, Hope, Missions on November 15, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The news reports have not changed. The violence in Mexico continues. The refugees of Cuidad Mier are still living in a shelter in Miguel Alemán, just as they were over a week ago. Last week I shared about what is going on in the area just across the Mexican border from Roma, Texas (a community [...]
Fast For Mexico
Posted in Community, Hope, Missions on November 12, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I am still without a real sense of understanding of what can be done – and still without words to describe what I am feeling. After being so close to the horrific situation in border towns near McAllen and yet not being able to do anything about what is going on over there, I am [...]
Food In Time of Need

Finding the words is difficult for me right now. I am writing this on a plane back to Lubbock from Harlingen, Texas. Late yesterday afternoon, I was visiting with a good friend of mine who works with Buckner International in the valley. As we were talking about possible mission opportunities both in the valley and [...]
