A few weeks ago I mentioned that the church could do a better job of sharing testimonies that have to do with our relationship with money. I just got a great link from my sister to a little article that ran recently in People Magazine about some friends of ours. Take a look!
Erika,
I just wanted to check in and see how you, Doug and the family are doing.
I commented a lot on your recent post entitled “why we cannot wait” and I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you guys and pray God’s protection over your home today. I know you guys had a rough week!
Grace and Peace,
Pastor Aaron
I am going to abuse the fact you’re on my blogroll and ask you to promote an idea I’ve had for helping local charities – . Please read about it at http://lordibelievehelpmyunbelief.blogspot.com/2008/01/charity-stimulus-package.html. I would appreciate it if you could help spread the word.
Cool and improbable.
I’ve only glanced through People mag at 24 Hour Fitness a couple of times when bored and looking for any kind of reading material to dull the tedium late in the workout on a Stair Master.
If folks like Tom and Bree can get into the underbelly of the national media God may have plans for something new and interesting.
Who knows what could happen? Black men could be president. People living simply could be thought successful.
Aaron,
Thank you for your kind words! It is always a blessing to receive the prayers and encouragement from fellow ministers! May your family also know God’s peace this week.
Jim,
What a great idea! I certainly will…
Thanks for the reference to the article in People magazine. I made copies available to our church yesterday. Gosh, there really are people who do this kind of thing. There’s hope!!!!
So this is a bit weird, but Bree was my roommate in college and I think your sister was my staffworker…nevermind that I found your blog through the blogroll of someone I knew in elementary school…
Anyhow, Do you know what issue of PEOPLE that was in? I’d like to get a copy of it myself.
Ali,
What a great, small world it is sometimes! I am pretty sure it is a December issue of People–I think it says that at the bottom of the pic somewhere, but I think People is weekly so that would only narrow it down somewhat 🙂 I can ask Bree and let you know!
