this is just a glimpse of God's grace at work in my life. i pray that it will be an encouragement to others on the journey.
If you ask me to leap out of my boat on the crashing waves, If you ask me to go preach to a lost world that Jesus saves, If you ask me to run and carry Your light into foreign land, If you ask me to fight, deliver your people from satan’s hand, I’ll go, [...]
I am through another week, and I have been renewed in my mind concerning the glory of God. On the out set, this week has been very busy. I had four tests, I worked close to thirty-five hours, and I had numerous other odds-and-ends fill my week. But, through the fog of this busyness, God [...]
Tonight, I heard David Hosaflook speak at a service for a missions conference at another church here in town. As I listened, I was encouraged and challenged by David’s message.

I knew that if I put this picture up, it would make everyone jealous of the wonderful food that I will be able to eat while I am there. This is a picture that my sister Andrea took while she was in Albania last summer. Yummy!!!!

This last summer my sister, Andrea, forged the way before me in a trip to Albania. This is a picture of the town that the Hosaflooks serve in. Hopefully, I will be able to post more pictures over the next month.
They are done! The last few weeks I have been building tables for the new Cool Beans Creamery on Old Spartanburg. I am sitting in the shop right now and am extremely happy that they are finally finished. If you live in Greenville, drop by Cool Beans and check them out. Let me know what [...]
