The Time in Between

Well a lot of things have happened since my last post. Since then I’ve preached twice, added new things to The Ezekiel Project’s website, Awana and CTU have started, and we’ve been going out in the open air twice a week.

Regarding TEP’s website, we’ve added our very own blog, with which we hope to keep people informed more regularly on what is going on with the ministry. tepse.org/tepnews We also added a sign up page for the weekly evangelistic devotional that we send out. We use to send them out once a week but we had some technical difficulties and were not able to do it for several months. But we got that all fixed now and the devotionals are being sent out regularly now. tepse.org/devo So, I’m pretty excited about that and there are also some other things that we want to do with the website, I’ll let you know when that happens.

Like I said earlier Awana and CTU started this past Wednesday. My parents and I are the leaders of CTU (Calvary Truth Unit) our chapel’s youth group, which has about 11 people in it now. After some singing, prayer and a short devotion about what we were going to be talking about this semester we took the kids out to get some ice cream. I tell you, it was a blast just getting out and spending some time with everyone. I think it was the first time we were all together since the spring, at least for me who as you know travels a lot in the summer. Needless to say it was a great time had by all.

Also keep us in prayer as we go out preaching at the local collage campuses and in Royal Oak. Next time I’ll see if I can get a hold of someone’s camera to post some pictures for you guys to see. Well that’s all I’ve got to say for now, God bless.

Listen to the Crickets

If you've ever been to the country, a camp or perhaps just a quiet section of the city, you've most likely heard a group of crickets making music. This is a rhythmic reminder to us of God's faithfulness. The holy Scriptures uses the image of the flower of the field.

"Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?"
Matt. 6:30

If God cares so much for a plant then how MUCH more would he care for a cricket and how MUCH more for His child that He sent His Son to die for. So, the next time you hear the cricket's melody remember that God is faithful and cares for you.

The Beginnings

Well, I've finally taken the time to set up my own blog, for all my friends, family, and whoever else. I once had a friend tell me that my Facebook status update always shows me being in some different location i.e. New York, Georgia, California. So, since I'm on the move so much I thought it prudent to have a way for everyone to stay updated on what was going on in my life. Thus the blog. Hope it is helpful, informative, and a blessing.
Until next time...
