Some pesos and a promise

Yesterday, Stuart and I shared our heart for Mexico City with Pastor Kevin Holt and the good people at Glad Tidings in Muncie IN.

We also had the opportunity to share our version of The Parable of The Lost Peso with Pastor Dan Vanderbilt and the great kids in GTKM. Thankfully, they helped us find our lost peso and promised to pray for us and the beautiful people of Mexico.

Our time with Glad Tidings concluded with an unforgettable lunch with the equally unforgettable Senior Adult Pastor, Coleman Barlow :)

Come to find out, Pastor Barlow ministered in Waterbury, CT many years ago (Wendy's from Hamden, CT Only about 20 minutes away.). So he and Wendy shared a lot of stories from New England - mostly about the great food out there!

Thanks Pastor Kevin and Glad Tidings! We enjoyed our time with you.

Last week, Sophia sang a soulful solo at Leo High School's recent "Rock 'N Roll All Nite" choir event.
She's the second soloist (red sweater) and starts singing about 9 seconds into the video.

And in honor of the great missionary Saint Patrick, I leave you with this prayer:

I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need;
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward;
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard. 
(An excerpt from The Lorica of Saint Patrick)

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
