Pic of the Day

 





I took this on Sunday morning at New Life Ranch in Siloam Springs. We had the Grove Church men's retreat there this weekend. This was taken in a creek which runs through the property. 

T.O. a Bronco?

Word on the street is that the Denver Broncos would be interested in T.O. I wonder what Grant thinks of that? Do you think T.O. can fit in anywhere? I think it would take a very special place, not sure if Denver is it. I would like to watch it play out though.

Took this on Tuesday evening.

"7 The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. 8The LORD will command the blessing on you in your barns and in all that you undertake. And he will bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. 9The LORD will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in his ways."

Deut. 28:7-9 

Yesterday's Colors. Notice the shadow on the church in the background.

End of the Spear

Rio Ansu, Ecuador (Taken July, 2001)

A new movie is coming out next week that I am excited about. It is called End of the Spear and is the story about a friendship that is forged between a tribesman in Ecuador and the son of a missionary he killed. I first heard about this on a Family Life broadcast which you can find here. The trailer looks really good. Maybe there is hope for 2006.

My pic above is from a trip that Matthew Hooper and I took in 2001. We spent a better part of the trip in the jungles of Ecuador and actually saw a school in the middle of the jungle called "Escuela de Jaime Elliot", which was named after Jim Elliot, who was one of the 5 missionaries killed. The river you see was probably one in which the tribe in the movie lived near and still does to this day.

This is what we cooked for the 7 Hills Homeless shelter on Saturday. Our community group is trying to reach out to the homeless, thanks in part to what some guys in Little Rock are doing that have me thinking of this more and more. I know it will take time to "win the right to speak" in these peoples lives, but I am excited about what is to come. Hopefully we can have some good stories to tell in the future about what God is doing through this.

This is how Suzie greated me the other morning. That thing around her neck was the wire part of a hanging basket she managed to get around her neck. I guess it had been there for so long she decided it was normal for her to wear it and was not even tryig to get it off.
