Well, stopped at the check point & couldn’t make it over. This took all day, but we find ourselves totally in Gods hands. His trip, His timing, His agenda. Tomorrow we are told that we are ok to pass. We head out early in morn. Pray all goes well.

Weird being in a little tiny town in Northern Thailand sitting in a little coffee shop with Wi-Fi. Trip.
Interesting when you expect the most difficult situation, then God’s grace gives you the best. We got to spend the night in a little guesthouse called “Eden”. Our room sat about 50′ above a river. Our porch [...]

Hey, We are up at the top of Thailand & look forward to going in, in tomorrow. We will not have to hike :)
Can’t update much more. Not sure if I’ll be able to send anything out from “there”.
Beautiful up here. Great weather. God is Big, Wonderful, & our all in all!
Blessings!

Well let’s try this out from Chiang Mai, Thailand.
“Mae Song Ka” (hello) from Thailand. It took forever to get here but we finally made it. Who designed the seats in planes anyways? It’s 10am here & we’re waiting to get briefed from our team leader in a couple hours. I’ll know more then. For now, [...]

I’ve been thinking about how the process works when God is moving us to act on something. So here’s what I think:
Â
The Process…
Â
First, we gain info through our eyes or ears. I’ll call this Awareness.  It’s when we exclaim, “I didn’t know”.
Second, we filter it through our mind. I’ll call this step Understanding. It’s [...]

The world is crying out for the U.S. To get out of Iraq & Afghanistan; for World Peace; for Iran to stop developing Nuclear weapons; for Peace in the Middle East; for an Eco-friendly world; a greener Earth; to stop Global Warming; and are asking, “Can’t we all just get along?”
Â
 To sum it all [...]

Is someone asks you, “What can I do to be saved?” Be honest with them & tell them “Absolutely nothing!” It is too late! – It was done 2000 years ago on the cross.

Why Should I Trust the Bible is Accurate?

Talk about “Foundation”…this is it…The Word of God itself! If this isn’t God’s words, God’s plan for us, God’s heart for His people, then the whole deck of cards comes tumbling down. An unknown writer said it best,
