woo you

Friends.  Great show. 
I am at the point now in my life where I realize the gospel is basically that show.  Being there for people at all times.  No matter what.  We are to be included in each other’s lives.  Nothing more, nothing less.
Don’t get me wrong, sharing the gospel with someone close to us is [...]

week of excitement

This week is going to be uber-exciting. I don’t know why really but I am pumped. I have a lot of stuff to do. A bunch, if you will and I am pumped about it.
Well lately, I have been frustrated about financial things because God seems to be closing more doors than [...]

what He starts, He finishes

“yet, with respect to the promise of God, he did not waver in unbelief but grew strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what God had promised, He was able also to perform.” – Romans 4:20-21
This the 4:20 principle to me.  Summed up, it just means that no matter what [...]
