Some Good News

In case you missed it somehow, click HERE to see video of the first trapped miner in Chile being rescued.

In a day when the news seems to only LOVE bad news, it's great to see something good on T.V. being covered as priority news.
Watch for the little boy in the video, POWERFUL. I wonder if the miner being pulled out is his dad.

Can you imagine how different that little boy day is going to be today from yesterday.

Maybe that's a lesson for all of us, have you connected yet today with the one called Heavenly Father. When we learn to live in the grip & hold of our heavenly father, it changes the focus, priorities, joy, purpose, EVERYTHING of our day.

How do you live in the grip of Jesus? Well, there's no perfect, "do this, then that" answer. But, did you notice the emotion, and the intensity on the little boy's face? All he wanted was his dad.
My prayer for you & I today is that we will long with PASSION for our father who Himself emerged form the depths of the earth (the grave) to embrace us.

Guerrilla Lovers Assignment # 10

Ok, today is going to get a little more involved. All of us know somewhere where we're likely to see / find someone asking for help (begging for food, asking for money, etc...). At some point today, go to that place & help.

Bring big mac, or a whopper or something and pass it off. That's it.

I hope if you have a family that you're involving your kids in these assignments. let your kids see you do it, be a part of the planning, & let them feel the weight of a mom & dad serious about living out the kingdom of God to the people around them. Teaching our kids to go to church just teaches them to go to church, teach them to BE the church.

Go get guerrilla, loving Jesus, loving people, changing our city.
