Praying for Jenn’s Mission Trip
Jenn just left on a week-long mission trip to New Orleans with her Wesley House Christian group from Stetson University. They just arrived in New Orleans early this morning until the 10th to help with Habitat for Humanity in rebuilding homes devastated by the hurricanes. Thank you for safety for the eighteen students, good health, and the ability to minister to families still struggling. We hope to post pictures and a blog entry when she gets back home.

A Living Mystery
“To be a witness does not consist in engaging in propaganda, nor even in stirring people up, but in being a living mystery. It means to live in such a way that one’s life would not make sense if God did not exist.” ~ Cardinal Suhard I love the idea of being a living mystery to those around me who do not yet know our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Can my life be explained apart from a living Christ within me? Do we, as Christians, make Him attractive to others? Of course, I also still advocate that we must … Continue reading A Living Mystery
Vero Beach
Some ideas for when you visit Vero Beach.
The Ocean Grill has very tasty food (pricey, though) and a fun, eclectic interior. You could park near the restaurant and do shops and walk the beach. There’s plenty of beach access points along A1A north and south of Vero Beach. Disney has a resort north of the restaurant on A1A.
We stopped at the McLarty Treasure Museum. It was fascinating to learn about 1,500 survivors stranded here when a fleet of Spanish treasure ships sank off the coast in 1715.
We only had a half hour to stop at Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. I can’t guarantee you would see dolphins, but if you want to try, we saw a pod of dolphins feeding in the river.
Here’s a good list of things to do in and near Vero Beach. Continue reading Vero Beach
A Chat with Angel Gabriel
I had just picked out some envelopes and fifty-percent-off Christmas cards. The gal who helped me find the envelopes was very friendly and very pregnant. “When’s your baby due?” I asked. “January 20th,” she smiled. I held out a tract. “This is for you if you’d like it; It’s about Jesus.” She accepted the booklet and I wrote my email address on the back. The clerk behind the counter had rung up my purchase and waited as we had this conversation. I turned to him and noticed his name tag. “Angel,” I commented. “That’s a good name for this time … Continue reading A Chat with Angel Gabriel
