The Musings of a Stubborn Believer

Thinking of Thanking…

While we’re here still thinking of thanking…
You know what I’m most thankful for?

Lifetimes.

Times to share life… With those around my same breakfast table, and way, way beyond.

We’ll be on the road again tomorrow (here we come, mates!) but before we off, I thought I’d share a few smiles from the last few weeks… 


Utah: Rendezvous with old colleagues, and a good workout…



(…and smiles in the shade)



Michigan: Ministry, and beloved old stomping grounds



I grew up back here…



(And the old swing is still there, 12 years later.)



San Diego: Speaking at AMEN Conference



East Tennessee: Another friend’s wedding… 🙂



This time of life is unspeakably rich… 


We’re treasuring the moments.
And the promises. 🙂

Next stop: Australia…



Thanks guys…

To some of the highest quality young people I ever hope to rub shoulders with, 
Thank You. 
I can’t say it was my idea to roll credits, anchor the meetings, or stream a game of freeze tag live… Nor could I have pulled it all off if I had thought of it. 
But you did. 
Love you guys…

With My Whole Heart…

“The faces of men and women who walk and work with God express the peace of heaven.
They are surrounded with the atmosphere of heaven.
For these souls, the kingdom of God has begun.
They have Christ’s joy, the joy of being a blessing to humanity.”
Just one more reason…
One more reason to give my whole heart.

Here’s to all my friends from the Northeast Youth Retreat–
Your hearts and lives are forever bound with my prayers. My heart is with you, because your victory, your success, your confidence and your happiness, are my treasures.
And where one’s treasure is, there one’s heart is also.
Let’s pray for each other on the 17th.

So Many Faces…

From a conference dripping with miracles I return a stronger man, a more exuberant Christian, a humbled, baffled, incredulous, encouraged, inspired child of the God Who never tires of giving… As if I really deserved anything from His hand in the first place!
There were so many faces… Thousands of windows to souls I know nothing about… But then there were probably 1,000 that I did know… and do love. So many smiles! So many transformations… And then there were a few faces that told special stories I’ll long remember… Like the one that smiled through tears when I talked about heaven. And the one that laughed and cried at once. And the one that flushed undiluted earnestness and devotion while praying for a miracle…
Yes, Jesus gives… Jesus loves! And never has my heart loved His more.
And shame? Yes. Shame on being afraid to own Him! Shame on trying to walk without Him! If any will glory, glory in the cross…

Here are a few more faces… from around this big country we call our home. Some think “Oklahoma Family Campmeeting,” some think “Youth for Jesus 2009″…
We think–
“Reunion”
