Kids found this picture in my office.

Got to help break ground with a bunch of folks for a building dedicated to this lady.

Hard to believe it was 23 years AGO.

And thanks for the Facebook comments, especially the ones about being tiny…would have posted this here sooner, but I was having some issues with my blog.

Haven’t had time to really process what I learned from LJO. We were away with some old friends here. It was neat to catch up, watch, and listen to what God is doing the lives of his people.

Here’s a couple of LJO quotes from last week…

“Great preaching is when we allow Christ in his power to meet us at the point in our needs hopes and dreams, so then we can reach out to those we preach.”

“We preach with passion when we listen to the deepest needs of our people.” 

 ”The sermon is the preacher up to date.” 

 Three hopes for me as a preacher.  

Sunday after Sunday I would hear him preach the word with passion. There was never a dull moment. Fuller is hosting a wonderful event this month and in January. I will be here today sitting at the feet of a gifted preacher.
