Marco, continued

mikeandsus

“I pray but I don’t need to go to church…” Marco began to defend himself for not attending Mass. I briefly mentioned the importance of being with other believers, but decided to ask instead, “Do you read the Bible?” “No,” he admitted. “What kind of relationship would you have with your son if you did not talk to each other?” I asked. “You talk to God through prayer and He CAN talk to you through prayer, too, but He mainly speaks to us through the Bible.” I followed Marco around as he treated our home for insects. We talked about … Continue reading Marco, continued

Goodies and the Good News

“I lost two pounds.” Jose is a big man and he was looking right at me when he said this. I was mulling over what to do with this information and later was VERY glad I did not congratulate him. As a plumbing supervisor, he was not talking to me at all, but to his two assistants who were testing our house’s water pressure! We were expecting a team of plumbers to come and replace all our pipes, so I made some brownies the day before and had them on the kitchen table with some tracts. Those brownies were a … Continue reading Goodies and the Good News

For many years, our family has been making shoe box gifts for Operation Christmas Child of Samaritan’s Purse International Relief. I knew Christian literature was included with our boxes, but did not think too much about the impact of these gifts until this year. I read in Samaritan’s Purse’s literature about last year’s follow-up program. “More than 1.2 million children from 57 nations enrolled in the 10-lesson Bible study course… and over 430,000 have accepted Jesus into their hearts.” I also read about an entire village in the Ukraine coming to Christ and starting a church because of the boxes … Continue reading Operation Christmas Child

A Divine Appointment

“This trail is familiar,” Mike said. We all agreed. Even though we have only taken our kids to the Smokey Mountain National Park three times, each time we ended up taking the exact same trail! We had wanted to explore a new area, but God had a reason for our collective forgetfulness. After some time, we noticed a knot of hikers halted on the trail ahead, pointing into the woods and taking pictures. Soon, we saw them, too, a mother black bear and her two cubs. We were about to join the group and as we approached the family on … Continue reading A Divine Appointment

Looking for a Change

mikeandsus

Brenda owns bobcats . . . and that is not the only thing I have learned about her that is unusual. When I shared a tract with her and asked her about her spiritual background, she said, “You would not believe me if I told you.” “Go ahead,” I urged her. She proceeded to tell me that she had had a vision of Christ. “He was as real as if He was in my living room. He was beautiful!” “Has this changed your life?” I asked. (I was not sure, of course, if her vision was from God or “the … Continue reading Looking for a Change
