Yeah...that's snow...not sand!!
Ok... so I'm in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park hiking and
camping with the intention of spending some quality time with
God. Most of my prayers end up sounding something like, "Oh
God...will this trail ever end?"
So...no huge spiritual breakthroughs while I'm up there.
Well...actually, maybe there was. I think I have a new definition
of a Disciple. It's really pretty simple. A Disciple (one
who follows Jesus) is a Discipler. In other words, maybe you're
(and me too) not really a disciple unless you're discipling someone
else. We know that right? Growing the Kingdom is about
Multiplication. Want to double the size of your church or student
ministry? Everyone lead someone else to Christ.
But here's some other cool God stuff. When I got home tonight
someone had stuck a newspaper clipping to my door informing me that
John Grisham's Rebuild the Coast Foundation had given the MS Coast
Community Foundation $800,000.00 for Katrina Relief. I guess the
clipping was to let me know that the MCCF might be a good place to send
a proposal in my efforts to get our $80,000.00 for Makeover Mississippi
(see www.makeovermississippi.org).
Anyway...I'm going through a weeks worth of mail when I notice a letter
from one of the several "foundations" I had sent my Grant Proposal
to. And guess what? Enclosed was a check for
$80,000.00. Yep...I went to the mountains searching for God and
He was waiting for me in my mailbox! Makeover Mississippi is
fully funded and ready to get going!
