I keep it in my wallet to always remind me that no matter what the situation in my life is, someone needs me to reach out and bless them like God has blessed me. Every time I see it, I am reminded of that and inspired to give to people what they need just like Christ gave to me.

Someone at work asked me for change for a five dollar bill. I only had four ones in my pocket. She said she was just looking for some change to by a soda to help her get through a boring meeting and I remembered I had some change in my desk drawer. When I went to get 4 quarters to add to my four ones I remembered Bill's dollar that I had tucked away in my wallet. I gave her back her five, put the four ones in back in my pocket and just gave her the four quarters to buy the soda. She insisted that I simply give her change for the five, but I insisted she just take the quarters. The cool thing is I still have Bill's dollar to give to someone else!

I added to it and gave it at school for a donation for the people in Haiti. Our school alone collected over 1300 dollars. Cool!

On the way home Sunday evening I felt prompted by the Spirit to use it locally. There was a conversation later that evening where the need at a local school for boy's underwear came up; I purchased a package and gave it to the school. It was more than a dollar - but Bill's dollar was the catalyst that made me sensitive to the need.

I am praying for all of you.

Good observation. And quite thought provoking.

Just wanted to say I am sure glad the Lord brought me to worship at Xroads Sunday. I caught up with Eric after but thought others would find it interesting that I had put in a prayer request about a Pakistani brother named JOSEPH Francis, who is the primary attorney defending christian cases in the country. He was arrested on July 12th and many have been praying/fasting for his release and trying to raise $$ for requested bail. Anyone who saw me bawling my eyes out mighta wondered why - because there was I guy I know LIVING the "Joseph story". I met Francis briefly during a trip to Lahore in 2006 and he is surely just as humble and dedicated as the day he took on this call from the Lord. Anyone interested in assisting brothers and sisters like this overseas can look over Jubilee Campaign website or International Christian Concern. Mission Network News also provides accurate info and prayer requests from all over and there are a ton of others. I will also be hosting prayer at my house for the Muslim World during Ramadan (starts Aug 22nd) using the 30 days prayer guide every Monday evening 7-8pm - at my house. If you would like a FREE copy I can also provide a few of those. Can also see the 30 days website to link up with daily prayer email and detailed info on Islam and outreach methods. I live right around the corner off MD Ave but contact me for directions if interested.
