As a fellow youth minister and having served many years on staff I now how hectic and crazy the summer can become. There are the summer camps, mission trips, family vacations, etc and getting a lesson together or finding someone to fill in for you while you are gone can become a challenge. Let me help you out. I would love to discuss the possibility of me helping you out during these times. Feel free to contact me for more references or info. Thank you for any and all consideration.

“THE NEED IS THE CALL.” -Steven Bush

Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to Me.
Matthew 25:40

• The GDP (Gross Domestic Product: the value of all final goods and services produced within a year) of the poorest 48 nations is less than the wealth of the world’s three richest people combined.
• 1.3 billion people live on less than 1 dollar a day.
• ½ of the world, nearly 3 billion people, live on less than 2 dollars a day.
• 20% of the developed nations consume 86% of the world’s goods.
• 30,000 children each day; 210,000 each week; just under 11 million each year die due to poverty.
• Over 1.3 billion people in the world today have no access to clean water.
• 3 billion people in the world today have no access to sanitation.
• Over 2 million people, mostly children, die each year from preventable waterborne illnesses.
• 1.8 million children die each year as a result of diarrhea.
• 2 billion people in the world today have no access to electricity.

Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.
Isaiah 1:17

So My beautiful wife is all into this blogging thing and she created her blog for the both of us. I managed to post a total of maybe 3 blogs in the time that we have had it so it has, in a sense, become her blog. She has her friends that regularly read it and most of them are women. She has mentioned me getting my own so I could start blogging more and I have balked at the idea thus far. As I sit here tonight, while my bride is at Houston’s 1st Baptist with “Beth” and Esther and having just put my kids to bed, I find myself saying, “Why not?”. So here we begin this journey…hopefully it lasts…if not check out my wife’s stuff on our other blog; she’s amazing.

P.S. I am reminded that there is a God and He does still work miracles as the Houston Texans are 2-0!!! Just had to throw that out there…it may be my only chance to brag on them.
