Pondering…
The Trinity is not Father, Son and Holy Bible but Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Oh how we need to surrender to and lean into the person of the Holy Spirit. Sure…He is a little mysterious and unpredictable…He’s God after all. He is up to things and doesn’t ask our permission or advice. He meets us where we are yet doesn’t leave us where He found us. If we think things will end badly He reminds us it’s not the ultimate end. When we pray in the dark He always hears. He always leads us to the mind of Christ. He never puts the spotlight on Himself but shines it on Jesus. When we hear voices of condemnation, He reminds us it’s not His voice but the voice of the enemy. I love it when He brings the fresh invitation to drink deeply of Abba and makes a way out of no way. He gives us enough buoyancy to keep our head above water and is the wind to move us forward.
Yes, I’m thankful for the one as a child we called the Holy Ghost.
May He flair up and do His good ghosty stuff. We all need Him.Oh, how we really need Him today.
12,000 Prayer Bracelets Distributed
The Governor’s Prayer Breakfast team has passed out 12,000 “Pray for Louisiana” bracelets. Our heart is that these bracelets serve as a reminder to pray for the people and leaders of our state according to 1 Timothy 2:1-4. Many Legislators and leaders are wearing them.

God, Government and Gospel Event
It was a joy to partner with Pastor Mike Foster in a Live Round Table with the Forcey Bible Church family. What a great topic in these important times.

All my Bible Studies have resumed on Zoom. Attendance is better than ever.

My calling is to introduce leaders to Jesus and help them live out the teachings of Jesus. Pray for wisdom and open doors.
