Let me begin by telling you a little about us. We are a married couple who have managed to stay together , by the grace of God, for 36 years. Our children are grown up and raising families of their own. Del is a school bus driver, and I am an office manager in a trucking company. We are simple, ordinary people, but we long for more--to be used by our Lord.
By the standards of the world we live in, we aren't considered wise and successful! For example, we didn't finish college. We haven't saved nearly enough money for retirement. We don't even own our own home. We have made so many mistakes, done so many stupid thing--things our dads told us not to do--things we knew better not to do--things that hurt others. I think you get the idea. But the amazing thing is this: Our God has said he would use the foolish things of this world to confound the wise! Surely that must mean us!
At this point in our lives, more than ever, our hearts long to serve God, to honor him, to share the Gospel, to encourage fellow believers, and to lead unbelievers to Christ.
This is the sole purpose of this blog. We hope you will visit often. We will be sharing our testimonies, insights from the Word, a little humor, a few experiences. But the main thread through all we say on this blog will the Lord Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
1Cor. 3:18-19
Stop fooling yourselves. If you count yourselves above average in intelligence, as judged by the world's standards, you had better put all that aside and be a fool rather than let it hold you back from the true wisdom from above. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. TLB
