Spring

There is just something special about spring that make me feel good. I remember when I was 12 years old sitting on a chair in our dinning room on  a Saturday afternoon just wasting, the sun was bright, the sky was clear and the breeze coming though the window was perfect and I thought to myself wow this is nice.  Strangely enough my older brother was listening to a song on the radio called summer breeze. I love the look of a tree full with leaves hovering over a side walk and the bright color of flowers with a grass as its background. Spring is nice. It seems to invite me to come out and play or a while.

All the light we need

It was 6 P.M. and I was tuning off Grand ave headed for the old Bethel Lutheran church. It is our second evening preview service for the New Life West Humbolt park launch.  As I drove north on Springfield to find a parking spot the first thought I had was “Man it is dark in this neighborhood, there is hardly any light for people to see in this block”. Then I saw a small stream of people walking toward the church for the service. They were coming from different directions. I immediately changed my mind and thought, "Wow, we have enough light coming in. People who know Jesus and walk with Him have all the light this block needs to find their way to Life."  A group of about 40 people gathered in the lower hall of the church building and started to sing songs of praise and worship to  God. As March approaches, this area is going to have a huge beam of light shining from this corner to help them find their way through life.
