I keep coming back to this one

The LORD your God is with you,
he is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
he will quiet you with his love,
he will rejoice over you with singing.


- Zephaniah 3:17

Two loves in my life

I have two loves that I get to experience at once this week. This Thursday, I am going to the Pour House in Charleston, SC to watch the men of NeedToBreathe play to benefit Palmetto Medical Initiative.



I feel so blessed to have served PMI in February and March this year in Masindi, Uganda. There is not a day goes by that I do not remember a beautiful memory, an unforgettable person, or even a teary frustration that I felt there in the town of Masindi. It was such a sweet time there. I cannot wait to go back. And, I feel so much joy to know that NTB supports this great organization.

The Radical Experiment

I get handouts all the time. At church. From a drug rep. In my neighborhood. Handouts don't work on me, and I sometimes get annoyed when I get one. And, they are a waste of trees.

But, this one I read. I got a handout from my friend Kelly about the Radical Experiement. Then I read the book. If you are up for the challenge you should do it. It may change the world. It will definitely change you.


The Radical Experiment
Action steps:

1. Pray for the entire world

4. Spend time in another context

What I am reading this week

I met this guy at my church, Simon Guillebaud. I have heard of him long before I met him. People share these extraordinary stories of this man. So, I met him and felt so proud to be with him. It was weird, really. He is the kind of person that makes you want to be a better person. To do more for the Kingdom. To leave everything behind and move to Burundi. I am 30 pages in and cannot put it down.







I go to my favorite coffee shop, Kudu, last week and was blessed with this little book. There are moments in my life that I know happen for a reason. When my friend handed me this book, I knew it was going to be good. He simply said, "I think this will bless you. If it does, then give it to someone else." I read it in one day. It is probably one of the best books I have ever read. Thanks to you Mr. Lee!
