What If...

Whatever You Do, Do It in Love for the Glory of God! April 1, 2013 Have you ever wondered why the world is the way it is today? Where did we go wrong? Why do we remember the strangest things from our childhoods that are so vivid to us long into our adult years? Why are we still hurt from things that happened so many years ago? I could go on and on, but then it came to me… it is because things could have been handled differently. With the passing of Easter, I watched many TV shows about Jesus’ crucifixion. I observed so many things would have happened differently, if the people that were in power would have handled things differently. I know that all things had to come to pass for Jesus to save our souls, but what if things happened differently… ·          What if…Pontus Pilot chose to take charge & heed the warnings from his wife’s dream and had chosen to give Jesus mercy and listen to what he had to say instead of letting corrupt people make the decision for him?

East Carroll, LA - July 12-18, 2009

Here is a blog from Mission Serve's web: Today was supposed to be our half day of work with the night off, however the weather made us change plans so we worked a full day today. Today was a hot but very good day. Crews got out to an early start and were out working all day. Even though alot was done on the houses themselves, also alot was done as far as the ministry to the community. Many people from multiple groups were going to neighbors and homeowners in the area and witnessing to them and just talking to them about what they were doing here in East Carroll and why they were doing this.

Some youth have gotten to know some of these p

Matt's Injuries on Mission Serve 2009

I got a call on Monday, July 13th from James. He said that Matt fell off a roof on Mission Serve, but is ok. I could tell by James' voice that he was shaken up a bit. Apparently James, Matt and the crew was covering the roof of a house they were working on with plastic. James told Matt not to step on the plastic. Matt thought he could put one foot on the plastic and have traction with the other foot. Not!!! Well, Matt lost his footing and slid down the roof feet first. Once off the roof, Matt hit a cable that flipped him on his back and he landed on his back, shoulder and head. James tells me Matt took a very bad fall! The doctor at East Carroll, LA told Matt that he could have broken his back, neck, been paralyzed or died! James said that God was watching after him! That His angels had to carry Matt down off that roof! I know that it was God's grace, love and mercy that was there! After the call from James, I fell apart not knowing the true condition Matt was in! X-rays sh
