Soap Box Derby Lesson

February 18,2014

Four boys hold a wooden car at the top of the ramp. At the signal they let go and the car roll toward the finish line all except one, my son's car. The wheels had bound up. I was mortified. My son was over it in a moment. His buddies were still his friend. I learned an important lesson that week. My son doesn't need a dad who is perfect at every thing, just one that loves him.

A Great Valentines

The food line tables are decorated in red and white. A pink cardboard sign shaped like a heart proclaims Lee and Lynda.
After repentance a short wedding ceremony follows. All are fed a hot meal and donated wedding cake. The guests include the homeless, and home owners, alcoholics and non drinkers, seekers and believers. It is a great Valentines Day in a public park.

Directions from God

February 4, 2014

A pastor friend gave us a couple's name to look up when we moved from Connecticut to Florida. We misplaced the name. Weeks later I was meeting with a lawyer and when I asked him what he did outside of his practice he told me, "my wife and I are helping some people start a church."

He gave me a calling card with a map on the back. The next Sunday Joy and I followed the map to a school this church was renting. We made an instant connection with Bob and Ann Gamble.

Six months later we returned to Connecticut. Our Pastor friend asked if we looked up that couple she
recommended. Of course we hadn't. She wrote their names again on a slip of paper. We read Bob and Anne Gamble. We knew then we were in the church God wanted us to be.

"In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5&6)
