"Sometimes,
you gotta laugh!"
I was nervous because of being a guest minister at my home
church. How would friends and family respond to the new me? These people had
only known me as a wisecracking teenager, a used-car salesman and finally as
general manager of a large automobile dealership. Now I’m a preacher? What a
change!
There was no need to worry. After the service, people
gathered around to offer congratulations and praise. All except for one older
gentleman who had known me since childhood. He slowly walked up and stared into
my eyes for several seconds. (It seemed like hours!) Then with a smile beginning
to crack his stony face, he uttered the words that would shatter any sense of
false pride, I might have claimed.
"Larry....Larry...If the Lord
can save you.... He can save anybody!"
Sowing Seeds of Faith... is about offering seeds of
encouragement and hope... for anybody. It's about
the daily struggles of living out our attempt to serve God. There is humor and
sadness, celebration and grief, spiritual discipline and sinful mistakes.
In other
words, Sowing Seeds of Faith... is about you and me and the God who loves us.
Feel free to visit this site anytime
and browse to your hearts content. Check out new devotions or read about our
church or send me a letter. My prayer is that you will find help for your
spiritual growth and have good laugh or cry along the way. May God bless you.
