Visitations

I was blessed yesterday with some unexpected visitations. Mike McCafferty, one of my best friends and an awesome Christian man, husband, father, dropped by just after lunch. We had a good visit sharing our hearts like we usually do when we get together.


Next, Shawn Hardin and I made a visit to a family out in the county. Michelle and Tyrone lost their mother last year some time. She was a kind lady who we met through the 5 Loaves Ministry that we used to operate. The people were great; their living accommodations were not. My brothers on the Coast know about poverty. I don't. If you get a chance to listen to Derek Webb's "Rich Young Ruler" you ought to. I believe that the Kingdom is about generosity. I'm trying to turn loose of my "stuff". I've been really convicted lately about making friends with people who have nothing. I needed this visit.

Joel and Jeff came by the office to talk. I wish I could spend more time with them.

I've been struggling with what to teach the teens in Bible class. Last night, we sat around the campfire and just talked about things they want to learn more about. It was fun (should we be having fun during Bible class?). We're going to look at church history in the fall. They seemed to be pretty excited!

Kristy was excited about the Coker family prodigies yesterday. Check them out!
