Love Conquers All
I am amazed. He did it. I mean he really did it and it has changed his whole life. My best friend, Chris, traveled to Central America on a mission trip and he fell in love. After a process of several years, Chris and Marisol finally got married. I know this to be a fact because I performed the wedding!

Spread the Good News!
I might be wrong but it sure seems that retailers have held off a little longer than usual with advertising for Christmas. I don’t feel quite as bombarded by all the Christmas merchandising as I have in the past. Personally, I think this is fantastic! I would rather focus upon my personal relationship with the Lord and on my appreciation for the birth of baby Jesus in Bethlehem than to worry about what extravagant present I’m going to buy someone.

Show Mercy
Sometimes I get so busy with the task at hand that I forget some of the basics, such as showing mercy and compassion. The Lord is so gracious to go out of His way to remind me to care for others.

Call on the Father
Sometimes it feels to me like God moves the whole world just to make things happen for the good. A woman in Virginia heard Rivers of the World (ROW) on the radio awhile back and decided to begin supporting us through her organization, An Open Chair Inc. She provides us with little white chairs that have the words, “Be Still And Know.” We use the chairs in our ministry to remind people that the Lord is near to them no matter what they are going through.

It would be easy for me to think, “I don’t know anybody in this place and this is going to be frightening because everything is new and challenging.”

Definition of Love
Responding to God’s call is just not that difficult. You just have to do it. We had received word that there were children dying in a hospital in southern Belize. To me, that is absolutely not acceptable. We were told that they were not dying because of poor treatment, but instead, because that hospital didn’t have the equipment necessary to keep those children going and growing.

Love Sacrificially
Okay, I’ll be man enough to admit that with my family scattered all over the world it is easy to kind of revert back to an animal instinct way of life. Recently, we had two wonderful friends staying at our house in Georgia. Drew, a Rivers of the World (ROW) staff member, and Katie, a new friend who has helped ROW, were visiting.

Steadfast Love
I suppose I never really thought this was important, but apparently the 118th Psalm is considered the middle of the Bible. That piece of information isn’t significant but what is important is how this chapter begins and ends. In Psalm 118:1 (Amplified) we read:

Joined Together in Christ
Okay, hold onto your seats because I have a new idea that you are just going to love! Many of you know about the mission of Rivers of the World (ROW), which is to target river basins and serve with the people who live in these areas. We are asking everyone who listens to us on the radio or checks us out online to send in ideas for new rivers for ROW to visit.
