Our calendar timelines are being drawn, the purchase of portable products begins, the team is pulling all the pieces together, and we are getting ready…………………We still need a lot, but God knows!  I heard someone say, “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.”   And so, we loosely hold to our plan [...]

Great meeting in Nashville today with a possible new partnership organization.  God continues to unite us with A-team leaders and organizations to walk this journey with us.  I am amazed!  We’ll announce it later after final details are in place.

I’m sure you watched the landmark event today………..It occurred to me that God always has His way, in unique ways.  When you think about the fact that there was a day when slaves were being traded outside the capital as the new President watched, today is a day that God proves, once again, “We are [...]
