Free Indeed
I simply do not do guilt very well. In Christ, we are set free and no longer do we have to beat ourselves up with guilt. God’s word tells us in John 8:36:
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

Get in the Game
Many of you know by now that our administrator at Rivers of the World (ROW) is a woman by the name of 3. She and her family love football. They will spend all weekend sitting on the sofa, eating who knows what, and watching football games. I think that is great. It is not my thing, but it sure is hers!

Watch and Pray
This may be my last recording because my tongue is on fire! While in Belize, I stopped by Victors for a little rice, beans and chicken. It was wonderful—especially with hot sauce poured on top. The combination of habanero peppers, little red peppers, green peppers, chili pepper, onions, garlic, oil and other ingredients was too much to resist.

In All Circumstances
Just call me “speedy!” I spotted an opening in traffic and I stomped on the accelerator of my Jeep. The Jeep shot forward and I had no idea that thing could go 80 mph! As I looked up from the speedometer, there he was—cop on his motorcycle aiming his radar gun at the traffic.

Give Me Eyes to See
With the month of November brings many thoughts of thankfulness. I am thankful for Hal Walker and his friends who traveled to La Paz, Bolivia and set up a prescription eyeglass clinic. Bolivia is sandwiched between Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru in South America. La Paz is the administrative capital of Bolivia.

Known By Our Love
Do you remember that classic Christian song, “They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love?” In the village of Billy White, located in the western Cayo district of Belize, they know we are Christians because of our love for them.

Christ Is My Strength
This week I will be broadcasting by the miracle of wireless satellite technology. I am in the jungles of Southern Belize, 60 miles up the Temash River. We call our young staff “the boys in the band.” They have been working on something that has been a real blessing.

Proclaim His Wondrous Works
I just love to be reminded that we can serve as missionaries right here in America. I just had an opportunity to be a missionary at a church in the great state of Texas. In Georgia where I live, people are kind, humble and quiet. In Texas, I discovered everything is big, bold and people get excited.

Partnering Together
I want to take this opportunity today to send a big hallelujah to Pastor Joel Long of Eden, North Carolina. Joel and I attended seminary together, unbelievably, 30 years ago. The Lord has certainly blessed Joel’s ministry at First Presbyterian Church of Eden.
