    God has made a great investment in us so that we might make a great investment in others. Bringing others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is where we should invest our time and energy. God will examine the books to see if we made a profit for Him.

    Farewell Address at dinner by the Parish for my wife Lee and I. It has some humor yet I believe it touches the heart of who we are called to be in Christ. At the end I passed out 125 Red Wax Lips and and 125 signs that state "I Kiss Frogs" with a picture of a frog with big red lips.

    It just wouldn't feel right ... if I didn't begin with ... a story. And at the end of the story ... there is a little surprise ... that just might require a group picture. Well ... This short discourse is called ... "Kissing Frogs" Ever feel like a Frog? Frogs feel slow, ... low, ... ...read more
