Today’s post is for you. I started the Sower on xanga.com on November 3, 2005. My first post was not even written by me, but was from a friend’s email. This post, The Harvest, is still very popular even two years later. In fact, I used an email from Janey again in my most recent post. Almost all my relatives are Christians. I am not overseas. I am not on a campus. I have never served in the military. I do not go to work 9 to 5, but YOU do. If you have a story about sharing your faith, … Continue reading Your Stories

The blind opening the eyes of those who see

mikeandsus

I recently read this amazing true story and wanted to share it with you. Whatever you feel are your limitations, just trust and obey the Lord wherever He leads you and He will use you! “A blind septuagenarian African woman had a French Bible which she loved very much.

A Little At A Time

mikeandsus

I am bursting with ideas and stories, but I do not want to overwhelm you. So, my plan is to write about once per week. Generally, I will share thoughts, Scripture, motivation, and witnessing stories. Please invite others to sign up. Also remember to come to the site to share comments on something you’ve read or to read other’s comments. Another good reason for not flooding your inbox comes from Quotes To Live By: Learning to Listen To Those Who Suffer For Christ by Alex Buchan (page 8). An itinerant preacher in a closed country would leave five verses for … Continue reading A Little At A Time
