What's up?

Okay - four full weeks with nary a peep.

Sorry.

My life is so ridiculous right now. I never know what I'm going to be doing from day-to-day and so many little things are slipping through the cracks.

Hopefully that's about to change. There is a big job looming that may make it possible for me to have a set weekly schedule for the next several months. Please, Lord let it be! Then I can have specific times set aside for specific tasks and the cracks (through which diminutive paraphernalia evanesce) should then decrease in breadth and I'll have a little more control over things.

Personally, we're doing well. Without any physical evidence or reasoning, we are looking up.

The Psalmist writes: "I lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord."

You see, we could look to the hills, the circumstances or the the hopes we have in others for what we feel we need. But we are choosing to look higher -- to the Lord -- for that which we truly need. He will do it!

"My soul finds rest in God alone;

my salvation comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Psa 62:1&2

Yeah, I bet...

A New Year...

Last night it was Beth and I and good friends Keith and Jen King enjoying our annual New Year's Eve junk food buffet. We were joined for a while by Molly and her boyfriend William.

We all watched a blockbuster that I gave Molly for Christmas. It doesn't get any better than "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians". A couple of my favorite lines:

Voldar (the bad martian): "All this trouble for a little fat man in a red suit."

and

Santa: "Oh, feedle-ee-dee and balderdash Billy boy."



So looking ahead...

I don't do resolutions. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent.

Instead, I have been really imagining what I would like to see happen in 2008. For one thing -- I don't want to spend next Christmas and New Year's in the U.S. I'm ready to do whatever it takes to get to Ireland by then.

And I know that with God all things are possible.

So, God willing, we will be moved in 2008. BUT -- we have a huge hill to climb to reach our goal of monthly donations needed to make that happen.

We are feeling such a need to get to Ireland to conduct our ministry full-time. You see, we firmly believe that revival is coming to Ireland. Revival the likes of which hasn't been seen since the days of St. Patrick. One of the greatest needs right now in the Irish church is the training of leadership that needs to be in place when significant growth begins to happen and our ministry is all about that.

On our last trip to Ireland we had a national church leader tell us, "You don't know how important your ministry is" regarding this preparation. Needless to say, we are ready to be there doing our part in preparing for the coming revival.

Do you want to help us get there? Click here and you can find out how to make a donation or join us as a monthly Ministry Partner ("How can I be a part...?").

I don't generally use this forum to solicit support, but I just felt that I should on this occasion.

God is doing great things this year. Hang on for an exciting ride!

Please pray about supporting us. Then, no matter how God leads you, please keep praying for us, for Ireland and for its church leaders and missionaries.
