Weekend Wrap Up

Yesterday it was 66 degrees, today we have a inch and a half of snow and low forties. Welcome to Middle Tennessee. The motto around here is if you don't like the weather, just stick around until tomorrow and it will change.

------------------------

I am reading the book I referred to in yesterdays post, "End of the Spear" by Steve Saint. This whole event that took place 50 years ago this month is one of the most powerful testimonies of how God can and does work in the tragedies that touch our lives. How powerful to see God bring his love and message of salvation to a savage tribe of people who lived to kill in order to live. The fear of death that was ever present was replaced by the peace and love of a God who loved them. Just as the Son died for them, five men willing to also place their lives on the line and die for them, would be a testimony of God's powerful love.
