Child Labor

I am amazed by my kids. They have been helping their mom clean the house all day. When I got home this afternoon, my oldest was vacuuming my bedroom. She had vacuumed the whole house. They also dusted their rooms, put away their toys, and decluttered their space. My youngest took me into her room to show me how she had fixed her bed by arranging her pillows and stuffed animals. I am proud of them. God has given us some great kids. Jenny and I are very thankful.

Missions and LFF

We had a great service this morning at Living Free Fellowship. We had Jack and Delores Simon, Missionaries to Colombia! I've known Jack for 23 years. I met him as a student while at Greenbrier High School. He was the youth pastor at Millersville Assembly of God (now Living to Go). He was our Youth Alive director for our high school. We met at his house every Wednesday to pray for our school and our Bible club. It's been years since those days, but he still has the same passion. He loves Jesus! We were blessed today by his ministry. May God continue to bless his ministry in Colombia!

Beep and Sleep

This morning at 3:45 AM I was awaken with a series of beeps from my fire alarm. Apparently, the battery in the alarm in my bedroom was dieing. When it dies, it beeps and it won't stop until the battery is changed even though it's hard-wired to the house. So... taking my wife's vanity chair from the bathroom and climbing up on the chester drawers with a battery taken from another source in the house (because we didn't have any extra 9-volts), I changed the alarm's battery though tired and sleepy.

What do you do when the unexpected comes? I don't have any profound answer. My answer is simply respond! Respond with prayer, respond with faith, respond with action! God is our Source. Seek Him, know He is there, and follow His direction. God will never let you down. Life happens... but so does God's plan if we are listening.

Don't stress... don't complain... don't worry... just respond with God! Change the battery!
