1 Comment

…they had a good website. In February of 2005, I actually went on a trip to Brazil! That is a future post all by itself. Most every seminar meeting held during my tenure there, I either attended or heard on tape. To miss any meeting was a BIG DEAL! It was much easier just to attend.

…began by saying she had just gotten off the phone with Jane. (Jane was in Brazil (?)) “Jane was very grieved that you would do something like this without getting ahold of this in God.

…bers, repeated to those around me the WOFF mantras, went on a WOFF trip to Brazil and yet, here I am in the aftermath. But, my hope remains in the Lord. He is the only true source of comfort and peace. I will trust the Lord. Even in this affliction, I will purpose to worship Him. No matter the state I find myself in after the “WOFF-tsunami”, I sought God before WOFF and I still seek Him. Thank you, to those who are supportive in prayer and encoura…

Dan Merchant says he began to see that his “faith” was the ailment and not the cure. As he interviewed folks, he began to realize that many had problems with Christians and not with Jesus. People had a more pleasant idea of Jesus than of His followers. One lady expressed it this way, “Conservatives don’t get to set the agenda for Go…

Did I see his lips move saying… Blind Zeal??? Anyway, he made it into Old Flynn with no casualties. Whew… I was glad to see that. Some folks reading my sign would veer into the wrong lane when making the turn from Oakland Road. I make no apologies for that. They can come back and as…
