Up and awake. About normal for me. While i was lying here my phone announced FB private messaging was happening. Checked it out and it was a preacher friend. Only Baptist preachers would be messaging this time of night. Good part it was good news so that was a relief. God is good and i hope i never forget that fact. This last few months have taken me thru paths i have never travelled. I have to admit it has been tough. If i told you just the basics you would think "No way!" But "Yes Way!" It has been taxing to my faith not in God but in my ability to stand and come thru this with everything still in tack. My wife has struggled for first time in our nearly 40 years together. We both are tired and somewhat weary and this valley has yet to reach an end. We have some big challenges ahead with the church planting projects, the BSalt work, the Roloff Homes and Peoples Baptist Founders Week, our housing needs, a vehicle for the ministry (RV), and last but not least my health issues with the back and now the voice. We still need another 35% support raised and there is so much more but you get the jest of it all. Beside all of that i am running out of time since i am not a young man any longer and Christ is soon returning. So with all i that i rise each day and when i close my eyes at night i see the highways and city streets, schools and churches, homes and playgrounds and place to shop and eat and do business filled with over 300 million Americans the majority of which are lost and hell bound. Beside those are nearly 8 billion in this world the majority not only lost but have never heard the good news. With that i sleep and rise and work and labor and weep and pray and do all i can where i can while i can and lay down at night hoping i have done something to change someones direction not only in life but in eternity. That is a small window into my heart and my life. With that i pray the prayer of the great Missionary David Livingstone "Lord send me anywhere only go with me, lay any burden upon me only sustain me, sever any tie that binds save my heart to thee." That too is my plea. Good morning to you all!
