It’s been a crazy week, but we could not let the controversy related to cotton go without giving a little perspective from a Native and very proud Texan….. Being a sixth generation Texan has instilled many characteristics in who I am as a person. Many of these character building blocks can be construed as consistent in all American’s that have a Southern DNA. There...
We have been working up and down the Texas Gulf Coast trying to bring hope and support to those that have lost so much due to Hurricane Harvey. It’s been hard work, but today was different…. One of our Partners in the effort to bring Relief, Recovery, and Rebuild to Texas has been a small diverse church in Beaumont, Texas – Harvest for Lost...
The last few weeks have brought forth a lot of heartache, stress, and tension. Though its been brutally hard on many of us, we can’t let bad news distort our mission and focus to serve those in need. There are a lot of people in need, but how those needs are addressed is very important. Many will want to do something, but its usually...
How can I help? Who do I send my support to? Those are the questions that I am getting inundated with multiple times a day. The question is understandable, and the answer is not as difficult as it might seem. The answer is…..What is your passion? Determine what it is you want to help happen, and then do a little investigation into those...
It’s been interesting to work side by side with people of many faiths, cultures, and political affiliations. Most of these people are in it for the right reasons, they want to help their fellow man. It really highlights the number one most important quality that anyone who wants to make a difference must have…..the ability to make the effort. None of us working in...
Thank you for your kind notes, comments, and prayer support. The last week has been challenging to say the least. We have experienced many areas of despair over the years in locations all over the world. It’s never easy, and there are times when you want to just drop and cry….but I don’t. Why? It’s not that I’m not overwhelmed to see...
Addressing the needs of the poorest of the poor is not what we can call an easy task. In fact, it’s very tough work and full of challenges and obstacles to give people a chance at a better life. The best way to give people a chance to live is to take a holistic approach to the challenges that they face. You can’t...
The impact of Mother’s can never be understated. These ladies not only brought us into this world, they helped to prepare us to live in it. A gift that never stops giving, a blessing that never stops blessing….Mom! We can never underestimate the role that our Mother’s have provided to each of us. Their love never stopped, their concern over us never faltered, and...
The National Day of Prayer is a time to seek God’s wisdom and guidance for our lives. What better time to engage and make an impact in the world and community in which you live? The excuses that some people come up with to engage are many, but most are just excuses from a lack of know how. It doesn’t matter your age, skill,...
There is no greater example of a Journey of Faith than the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus. I often refer to The Bible as “Life’s Instruction Manual” and Jesus provided the perfect example of how to follow it. I am not referring just to Jesus’ final moments on earth, but to all that happened throughout His time among us. There is no bigger...
