More action happening on the home front than anywhere else. For so many years I have had more "active" ministries in the Family, and I know it’s been the assumption that the busier missionaries are the ones on the field, in the far flung jungles and tribes, or out ministering in the leper colonies and [...]
Yesterday I was talking to someone who is a professed atheist. In the past, I may have been somewhat intimidated by some athiests’ strong perspectives on religion or spirituality and such… but this time, as I spoke with him I became even more enthusiastic about my God. You see, I was just telling a story [...]
In The Family International, different levels of membership allow for part-time jobs. I live with just my family, as a Missionary Member, and as you’ve probably noticed in my blogs, its been hard to make ends meet. He has provided in various ways, and promised us He would continue to if we kept on serving [...]
My little 2 year old brother RJ has one of those foam puzzles, you know those mat things you can put together? In the early mornings, before anyone else in the house has stirred, he wakes up to play, and goes to his floor puzzle, taking it apart and then putting it back together, over [...]
Probably one of the biggest lessons in life the Lord has taught me–and retaught me–along the years of serving Him, is that He wants me to lean on HIM alone and not any one person. I like the security, the dependence, being able to lean on someone else and have them make my decisions. Lately, [...]
So after I sent in that last post, I was fishing for something inspirational to read. One of the blogs I stalk has a bunch of that on it, and this quote which was posted jumped out at me, like the perfect solution to my problem. (Jesus:) There are many ways that I work in [...]
You know those days when you have so much, yet so little to blog about? Or maybe it’s just that there are so many scattered things, that picking up the pieces, rearranging the letters, and forming sentences that actually make sense sounds more tedious than doing it. This week has been one big blur of [...]
So, I went to see The Da Vinci Code the other night. Seemed I was the only person in the world who hadn’t yet read the book, and the three other friends I was with were glad for that because they wanted another opinion on the film from someone who had no clue what the [...]
Every now and then I get enlisted to help work on The Family International’s publications—mostly illustrating comic series for teenagers. I love this work, but of course, the work comes with other things, things that aren’t always the”fun” part. Let me explain: Last month, I was assigned a 5 page illustration project for this comic [...]
Well I didn’t get any revelations “up on the mountains”. Didn’t hear any audible voice booming from Heaven or see any visions. My three days spent away, alone, up in the quiet and solitude of communion and mediation with the Lord, heart-to-heart, were exactly that—quiet, and uninterrupted. But you know, I realized I could get [...]
