Family Promise, Report thru Thursday . . . California Fires

The FP week continues and everything is going well. The Higginbotham/Cobleigh small group were the feeding team. The spaghetti was good tonight. Spaghetti is my most favorite meal. I usually eat a ton of it and tonight was no exception. All of the families continue to progress at their own pace. One of the persons in the program and I had a protracted conversation concerning God. He has been a Christian for 5 years, and is definately a lover of God. He has a well thought out understanding of God. He has some obstacles concerning his present lifestyle and some decisions he needs to make to realign his relationship with God. We have offered our hand to help in these matters, pray that he will do the right thing. What a unique opportunity God has given us to spend time with people who have needs that we can fill while sending a message to them concerning Christ. Making them feel welcome enough to find Christ is the goal. Pray for us as we serve them.
California is burning as we write this tonight. Josh Parrish is in Chico on the front lines. Josh is chomping at the bit to do soemthing for the community that has been hit been by these fires. Disaster Relief Effort from Nashville is responding with a truckload of goods as we speak. I am trying to assess the situation and formualte a plan of action. There are lots of fires in alot of locations.Pray for God to guide us to help some. Pray for God's guidance for Josh and Tiffany as they respond in their area to these fires.
