Things have really picked up here the last few days. Yesterday, I was thinking about my old employer in Wheaton, J. David Schmidt and Associates. They are a go-to small company that helps big Christian non-profits do plan for big projects/changes as well as for getting heavy lifting things done. Anyway, I was thinking to myself, "I wonder if I'll ever hear from or get more work from them again". See, half a year ago, they called me out of the blue, and had a bunch of writing for me to do. Which was cool. Well, crazy thing is, they did call me yesterday, after I had that thought, and had a bunch of editing and writing for me to do. So that's that. An interesting story about thinking about things that are about to happen. I'm never sure what to make of it, since it happens on a somewhat regular but random basis. I think it's one way the Lord accents for me that everything I have is a pure gift from him. When he alerts me to something like this (a job opportunity, an old friendship brought to life, etc.) before it happens, it is as if he's reminding me that I have nothing to do with the orchestrations that bring me provision and joy. He is God, I am not. He gives, I serve and share. He is life, I am living. These are good things to remember.
Hey, so have you done anything about that idea of bringing worship to the home-bound members of your congregation? Don't give up on that; it's a good idea.
Anyway, mostly just wanted to say hi and give this blog more momentum!

still rollin'.....
It is weired how that happens. April And I have a good friend who, much like you, we rearely see. Every once in a while I get the sence that I should call him, but then don't for some dumb reason. Almost always, he call s within 24 hours of that thought of mine. I used to say "I was just going to call you!" but then after about the third time it started sounding phony, even though it wasn't.
God IS God, a VERY good thing to remember...
