Blessed weekend and Don Piper

Well it was a busy weekend with playing at the "Angels in the Arts", Hastings Records, and the Church at Centerpoint. I want to thank Susan Mele, the managing director of the Art Park Players, for her wonderful support and kindness. Thanks to Mayor Riddle for buying CDs and I hope they bless you. It was a great experience and a lot of fun. Also, thanks to Norma Hysler for her help and support. When she drove in the parking lot, she had my CD already playing. That blessed me Norma.
Don Piper spoke at the Church at Centerpoint and just blessed the entire auditorium. He gave his account of his accident and the miracles that happened. One of his messages is that God is still in the miracle business. Don said if He can bring him back to life after being killed in a car wreck and dead for 90 minutes, God can heal your marriage. Very powerful and compelling. After I read the book, I'll blog on it.
I played about seven songs after Don spoke and I felt very grateful to be there. One thing I really related to about Don was he said I never planned to do this, as in write a book, travel, speak to people about the firsthand account of heaven, etc. I, myself, never planned to record a full CD. I just wanted to write songs to bless people and tell them about Jesus in my way of song. God is great. Proverbs 20:24 says " A man's steps are directed by the Lord. How then can anyone understand his own way?"

Praying for others

I have found myself lately, as busy as I've been, not praying for others as I used to. I think it rips away victory when we don't pray for others. The Lord said the greatest commandment is to love others as we love ourself, and I believe that means praying for others as much as ourself.
One thing I cannot tolerate is meanness in people. It just tears right through me. I love to see people laugh and to find what is good in them. I believe that with unloving attitudes there are usually pride or arrogance issues, and no matter how they try to mask it, the true colors come out. The Lord says that we all have fallen short of His glory, so no one is better that anyone else. We need to be kind and loving...
