It is amazing!

There are times when voices from the past surprise you. Today I talked to some one that I had not spoken to in nine years. This former student is back in the East and is on track with God. He did admit that he did enter a downward spiral for some time ending up with his back to God. As he paused, much like the prodigal son, he turned and found God's hand outstretched to him again. He grasped it and is back on track.

It takes courage to turn back to God when we stumble. Cowardice keeps many separated from the love of the Father. I pray that if I ever find myself feeding pigs, I will have the courage to come back home to the Fathers house. I pray this for you too. Take heed lest you think you can't be deceived, for you already are. That sounds like scripture, doesn't it?

The "other voice" was an e-mail contact with some one from the Island. For those that don't know my family served as missionaries for several years in Jamaica. One of our former students e-mailed me asking how we were doing. What a joy to hear from the past. Ya' man! No problem, man.
