2011 - BLESSED - THROUGH THE STORM... IN SPITE OF THE STORM... AFTER THE STORM...

God continues to remind us of His presence and His goodness through the storms of life: tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, drought, death, disease... tragedies of all kinds...

Today, I take heart in the incredible stories that I have heard over the last few months as I am continually reminded that GIGATTAATTGIG. Here are links to a few that I believe will inspire you. These are of people who I know... friends... My goal is to be more consistent at posting more over the next few weeks... months...

1.
Greg and Kim Spink have led an amazing relief effort in the Joplin, MO area over the last few days, feeding and clothing over 1,500 at the Mt. Hope church of Christ's facilities. Today, the semi trucks continue to arrive, as donations pour in from all over the country. Read here to learn what happened just a few hours before... GIGATTAATTGIG...

2.
Jon and Michiko Straker have kept thousands of us connected to the heart of the relief effort in Japan.... so has Dwight Albright... their FB page and this website have brought together people from all over the globe to serve... see how we must continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus showing that GIGATTAATTGIG to the people of Japan...

Stephen and Joy Colwell's baby girl, Maggie, was born a few weeks ago. Stephen has kept a blog about their journey since before Maggie's birth. Today, they are saying their goodbyes to Maggie. Thank you, Colwell family for modeling that GIGATTAATTGIG.

Greg and Kim are our minister and his wife. We are so glad she is okay. Our son Jon was at Stained Glass Theater, a christian theater next door to St John's Hospital that was hit. The building was demolished. The Lord was gracious in the fact that of the 30 or so people who were there only two lives were lost. Our son is banged up, but still with us. GIGATTAATTGIG
