THE JAIRUS PLACE
Have you spent much time in the Jairus Place? It feels as if Pete and I have spent this winter traveling in and out of the Jairus Place. Perhaps you are wondering exactly where and what the Jairus place is. Simply put, the Jairus Place is a place of despair and death. It is whereContinue reading “THE JAIRUS PLACE”
The Final Invitation
The call came late Sunday afternoon. A distant relative, one we had only met a couple times when he was a child, had moved to Florida and was in desperate need of help.

URGENCY OF THE END
Everything on this earth–every good time, every day of sorrow, every opportunity, every life–has an end.

Responding yes to Christ’s offer of salvation is the most important decision we make, because itContinue reading “URGENCY OF THE END”
THIS ISN’T WHAT WE PLANNED
We started our journey to Minnesota towing a trailer filled with 1300 walking sticks and hearts exploding with heaven-high hopes of witnessing to at least that many folks at community festivals, flea markets and fairs this summer. We prayed about our journey and told God all about our plans to return to Florida without oneContinue reading “THIS ISN’T WHAT WE PLANNED”
