Update

 Once upon a time , someone asked me if I would be happy working a job that was not at the university. Since my position at the university closed in 2020, I found myself doing exactly that— working in jobs not at the university. It has been a very difficult transition.  Recently, things shifted quickly and in unexpected ways. The short version is that I am leaving the hotel which I am currently working, having taken a position at another.  The longer version of the story is that I stopped by to see my good friend and former GM at his new hotel. While I was visiting with him, one of the owners came out and introduced himself and we got to talking. After a few minutes, he said he wanted me to meet his brother. Our conversation turned into a job interview and 48 hours later I accepted a new position as front desk, manager and assistant operations manager. After some negotiating, we reached an agreement and I start my new position on April 9. It’s a much nicer hotel and these...

Ever see a Baptist dance?

Whether you have or not (or would ever want to), does'nt matter. I just could not wait to pass this along—I am so incredibly excited! And in the midst of all the excitement, know that Satan has already been at work to attack . . . the details there I will gladly leave out. Satan needs no press-time.

I was preparing for our evangelism outing tonight and decided to swing by one of our departments here at the University to pick up more gospel tracts. As I was about to leave, one of the workers began asking questions about what we do in our evangelism team, where we go, who we talk with, etc. When the conversation touched the subject of Bibles for distribution, her eyes got large and she smiled and asked if we could really, seriously use Bibles in what we do. I replied to the affirmative.

She took me down the hall into another department and from a closet produced a box of 42 New Testaments (2 in Spanish!) and said I could take them. And if that was not enough, she told me that two private donors would “foot the bill” to purchase Bibles if someone could give them out . . .

Is that a cause to celebrate, or what?
