Carrolton Ave. Church of Christ

Here is a clip from the Carrolton Ave Church of Christ site . . .

The sermon was a message from a member who had barely escaped with his life and spent days on the I-10 bridge waiting for rescue. His story was gripping, but his faith was inspiring. He told us that he dared to die for God, that he told the Lord that he would either bless him tonight by taking him home, or bless him in the days to come by witnessing the power of God. He retold how he set up an impromptu devotional with those fleeing the flood on the I-10 bridge, the same bridge where drug deals were taking place in plain site of those seeking refuge. He told of how a woman heard them singing and took heart, saying, "They are having church right here on the bridge." He reminded us that each of us, every day, need to "have church" wherever we are and in whatever we do. There is no preaching school in the world that could have polished or improved that man's message from the heart. It was very inspiring and humbling at the same time.

True worship shows up in all places

Greetings from the Lone Star State . . .

Hello from Burnet, TX. . .

We have now been on the road for over a week. We have visited Krista's Mom and Dad, Her sister, my dad's old house in Lake Jackson, TX and today we visited with my sister's family. We have packed a lot of visits into these past nine days and covered 3300 miles at this point. We are road weary and tired. However, it has been good to spend time with family. I have read about the tragic loss of Earl, the CHP officer who was shot in Salida. What a loss for our community. Please pray for our officers and their families as they grieve this loss and fear for their future safety.

I am going to try and get some rest as we wind down this trip and head for the Abilene Lectures tomorrow.

Pray for our safety as we travel.

make a difference for God,

Buddy
