In 2007, my family and I returned from a long trek in Central Asia. With lots of uncertainty, we left & gave away our Dodge Caravan to some friends there. We trusted God to provide for us stateside. We came to our temporary apartment from the airport in Evansville and there on the dining room…
Since last November, I’ve had the absolute honor to be a part of the lives of men that stay at the Evansville Rescue Mission. One of them stopped me in the parking lot today to talk since he’s going to be leaving this week and we might not meet up again.

Jer. 39:10 But Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard left behind in the land of Judah some of the poor people, who owned nothing; and at that time he gave them vineyards and fields. A commander of the Babylonian army sees fit to give land to people that are poor, but the people of Israel…
It‚Äôs been quite a week in our neighborhood. Tuesday night we had about 50 Jr. High kids come down and help out on our street. They picked up tons of sticks and bundled them all up and raked a lot of grass and leaves into bags. It was good to walk down the street and…
