Pirates, Food, and God's Goodness


Who among us have never had the experience of sharing the gospel with someone and their response was, "How can a good God let people starve in Africa?"
I was thinking about that as I was listening to NPR the other day as the whole Somali Pirate Attack was unfolding. The report said, "Nearly half of Somalia's 7 million people depend on food aid." These people will go hungry unless these pirates are stopped and these ships containing said help are released by these.
God provides people with food, it is the sinfulness of men that prevent his goodness to be shown forth. Now God is an ALL-POWERFUL God, He can accomplish what he wants, yet this is a reminder of that this world is broken, full of sin, and ultimately men are completely depraved.

It's time to Restart this thing...


Hi all. I have been away for the last few months and a LOT has happened.
I started my last semester of School, even though I am only taking 2 classes, it has been one of the hardest semesters ever. So I was not posting because I honesly had no time. All of that changed last week when I was laid off work.
Now, I figure, that I have more time to post my thoughts, things that I am learning, and even funny things that I have seen.
You can be praying for us, I am in need of a job, but one that will be flexible with my school schedule and my schedule this summer. I will be going to Spain twice, once to teach and once to lead a STM (Short Term Mission's Trip).
I will try to keep you updated on how we are doing...
