Edgerton Mission

Edgerton Mission lost one of their prayer warriors on Saturday night. Louise was more than my friend, she was my spiritual grandmother. Louise always called me her adopted grandkid, but more importantly, she was my sister in the Lord.

Louise and I traveled many of miles through the years to old fashioned churches and revivals. She supported my ministry since the time I was called in 2005. I’ll never forget the sacrifices she made to make sure we were able to preach the gospel.

Please remember her family, the church, and myself in prayer as we celebrate her reward. She is in heaven now sitting on the sunny banks of sweet deliverance seeing things we can only dream about at this time. One thing is for certain, I will see you again Louise!

I’ll miss our Wednesday night phone calls, she always had a way to make me smile. Every time I said “well,” she’d say that’s a big hole! My kids will miss Grandma Louise. They loved coming to her home to see her.

Each morning before breakfast and the start of my day I kneel before the Lord and pray out of my east window into heaven. This star is always the last star to be seen when the sun comes up and I can’t help but to think of Jesus and the three wise men who followed this same star to the the Son of God.

1 King 8: 37-39 Solomon himself prayed to the Lord that whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be; What prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by the all thy people Israel…

Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest.

Do you ever start your day in prayer? Maybe tomorrow before the sun comes up, look to the East from where your help cometh from and may the Son of God draw you to him just as he does for me.

Have a blessed day.

My heart is very heavy for all the children swept away by recent floods. Prayer changes things and I wonder if anyone is willing to carry burdens for those in need. Will you take up your cross and pray for these kiddo’s who may still be clinging on for life?

As we woke up today and began to pray we were humbled by the feeling that today is the day that my Jesus died for me.

Some may feel that today is a day of celebration, but all I can feel is my lord being beaten, bruised, and scourged for his love of me.

He gave his life willingly on Calvary for our sins and I don’t have the words to express my gratitude that through his precious blood we now have Eternal Life through the remission of sin.

Thank you dear Jesus for nailing my sins to the cross.

Feeling more than blessed for services yesterday. The spirit of God was so strong and the message was made clear; we can keep looking back in life or move forward with our eyes upon the Lord!

Luke 9:62 KJV - And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Are you tired of looking back and draining yourself on the what ifs? Why not look forward, leave your baggage behind, and give Jesus a try. Services at 10:00 AM next Sunday, why don’t you come?

Two years ago today I lost my brother. The memory of him remains the same. It was Sunday morning, Jan 24th, 2021. We were at church and my parents were by his side in the hospital. My dad called and asked if we could play “For Those Tears I Died.” As we were singing, I could hear my brother’s labored breathing through the phone as it brought tears to my eyes. We lost him at a little past noon.

Today, as I started to begin my day, that song started playing through my heart and all these memories flooded in. I still remember the sound of his breathing and miss the sound of his voice. If you would like to listen to this song I have a link below. This song means the world to me and I am so thankful for the Lord’s grace. Without God, I truly would never be whole.
