Two for One

When the weekly ad for our favorite supermarket comes, I scan it for the red letters, Buy One, Get One Free. Obviously, when we were feeding three teenagers, this was a great way to stretch a food budget for a family of five. Now, with just three of us, most of those bargains are not worth it, as the food would spoil before we could eat it. So, why do I still look for those big red letters every week? For the needy. Since we can afford regular prices, one item is for us and the free item goes to … Continue reading Two for One

Reaching East and West in One Day

“Beinvenue aux Etats-Unis,” I smiled. Someone treated us to a night at EPCOT for dinner for our anniversary last year. Our waiter that night was Oliver from Paris. Unfortunately, my French is more than rusty, but I did manage to say “Welcome to the United States” (a handy little phrase I’ve used over the years.). I also wrote out and gave him some suggested destinations since he mentioned he wanted to see the USA before returning home. At the end of dinner I also handed him the French “Four Laws.” I pointed out the Paris address on the back. “This … Continue reading Reaching East and West in One Day

André Kole

You may remember that two years ago, our church hosted a performance of Andre Kolé. He returned for two nights on the second and third of March. Several of our neighbors went two years ago and three indicated decisions for Christ. André, a long-time staff member of Campus Crusade, has performed for millions of people in 79 countries. Over the decades, thousands have indicated decisions for Christ through André Kole’s illusions and the Gospel message he includes in his show. We invited neighbors again and Jenny bravely stood up in five classes to present the opportunity for her friends to … Continue reading André Kole
