I was reading in Ezra the other night – yes, I said Ezra – and found the most interesting passage. I had prayed before reading and asked God to reveal something to me that was fresh and He absolutely came through! I was reading chapter 9 where Ezra was totally torn up about how the…
Hey Everyone – I really meant to update each day, but there has been very little “down” time – which is great! We have taken advantage of every moment to share the gospel. Everything from VBS in the morning, going to the public library and pool with the puppets, and the block parties at night…
Wow – an amazing couple of days of eye-opening experiences here in Chadron, NE and Sharp’s Corner, SD! We began by worshiping with the Grace Baptist Church fellowship, the church we are supporting this week. This is a church plant and has a growing congregation. They do not have their own building yet, but have purchased a great…
A couple of years ago, our family loaded up the SUV and struck out on a great American West Vacation. Our destination – Yellowstone! Once we got past the Mississippi River, the scenery notably changed. We went from lush green, hilly woods covered in kudzoo to flat plains coverd with corn stalks. This is how my son Caleb described it…
Have you ever eaten an unripened persimmon? My dad thought it would be just precious to trick me into eating one when I was little. He told me how good and sweet it would be, and then keeled over laughing when I bit into it and was almost left with a permanent pucker! That is by…
As we pause today and celebrate Memorial Day, I want to ask you for what will you be remembered? A memorial is defined as something intended to celebrate or honor the memory of a person or an event. My thoughts go directly to one of my good friends, Genice Nelson. Genice lost her sweet son,…
Have you ever had a really great friend spend some time with you? You chat about old times, discuss future plans, and one look to each other conveys some instant meaning that only the two of you understand. When you and your friend depart, there is an emptiness that ensues and loneliness can flood your…
Feet come in all sizes, shapes, and forms. They carry us where we need to go and when they hurt, our whole body hurts! Some people are pretty repulsed by even thinking about touching someone else’s feet. But our Lord laid aside every ounce of pride and washed His disciples’ big ole feet! I have…
A preacher’s son and a bartender’s daughter…not a likely couple! But Jehovah Roi – the God who sees – was setting His plan in motion. I was born in a small Illinois town to Dick and Shirley Seals, baby number five out of seven. Mom and dad worked in night clubs in our small town….
I just have to share the coolest story with you about how God clearly answered a prayer for our family. Several weeks ago, Jimmy Rowe scheduled an informational meeting for anyone interested in going to Chadron, NE for a mission trip. Something in my spirit was stirred. Tim asked if I wanted to go this…
