Discover Life: Wrapping Up September of 2015: There are Rocks in ...

Discover Life: Wrapping Up September of 2015:

Discipleship is messy. It just is.  This month we saw truth come to light in the lives of some of the guys up here, and it wasn't pretty.  I wish I could tell you that what we are doing is 100% effective, but God expects me to tell the truth ... so ... but I can tell you that what we are doing here is 100% Biblical, and so are the results.  He promises that what is stated in the shadows will be screamed from the rooftops, that all things hidden will be come known (Matthew 10:26; Mark 4:22; Luke 8:17). Up here we say, "the bubbles will rise."

Discover Life: Wrapping Up August 2015: Don't Feed The Horses!

Discover Life: Wrapping Up August 2015: Don't Feed The Horses!:



Well folks, it's been a year since we left Louisiana and arrived here in upstate NY.  We left on August 13th and arrived August 16th ... and it has been an adventure with twists and turns since our boots hit the ground. Allow my to provide a simple bullet - form recap.

Discover Life: Wrapping Up June/July 2015: Plan Your Garden!

Discover Life: Wrapping Up June/July 2015: Plan Your Garden!:



Where does the time go?  June felt like it was only 10 days long and it was mid July before I realized it!  There is so much to do around here during the warm months to prepare for the long winters that we could easily fill every sunlit moment of every day with work and still have things left undone. Yet we press ourselves to keep the task of making sure that the people ministered through Discover Life are "thoroughly prepared for every good work."  This means that we have to continually view the person as the focus of the ministry, and not as a resource for getting ministry done.  These two months we saw some good transition within some of the men who have come to a place in their transformation where they need real world environments to properly apply what they've learned and what they must continue to learn in their discipleship.  Transition is part of the nature of this type of discipleship, and this month we said farewell to Justin as he moves forward with his life in his walk and welcomed Ken into the ministry here.  I ask that you pray for both.

Please Pray ... With Faith Expect Fights

Hey everyone ... so much has happened since our last post.  We hit the ground running ... sprinting truthfully ... and haven't stopped.  There's so much to do.  For a brief synopsis, click on the following link: http://www.discoverlifeministry.com/dl-newsletter.html

Discover Life is up and going ... to get more information CLICK HERE!!!

I do desire to detail the path, but that is not my purpose for this entry ... to tell you the truth, my heart is very heavy.  I am posting this entry soliciting your prayers ... my son Dayson is very sick.

I'm Appealing Murphy's Law!!

Well ... if distraction were a sign to turn around, we'd have plenty of reason to turn tail ... but it's not.  Once you have a bead on what you're to do, you can and should expect stuff to go wrong.

Let me tell you about some stuff.

Day One Down ... All Is Well

Well ... we did get started a little later than hoped but just as expected ... and not without any difficulties.  Here's a pic of the staging before we began the trip ... I will miss that house ... I will miss the park next door to my house ... but I have to tell you that I am very excited to get underway.
