2 Reasons Musicals ARE Like Real Life
18 septembre, 2019 · Life-Maps
I’d like for you to ponder this for a moment (I’d ask you to close your eyes if we were face-to-face) and imagine yourself in the bizarre reality of this story. You are an Israelite running — running for your life — during a months-long stupor. You don’t know what’s going on … you have seen...
The ONE Thing to Remember When Everything Seems to Be Going Wrong...
30 août, 2019 · Life-Maps
A friend of mine wore purple yesterday in honor of overdose awareness. I joined. Thinking back, many years ago, when our children were little, I do not believe either of us could ever imagine that overdose would be a part of our story. But it is. And I am still proud of us. We still have tears...
7 Steps to Writing Your Own Bible School Curriculum
24 août, 2019 · Map Skills
Have you found yourself in need of some Sunday school material, but you want it to be GOOD. SOLID. Truly FOLLOWS the Word of God? Are you part of a missionary family who doesn't consistently have the same resources you did in your home country? You want your kids to know Jesus, but you don't...
3 Eye-Opening and Insightful Ways to Process Your Mission Trip
9 août, 2019 · Mission Trip Atlas
My strongest memory of my many trips to Honduras is the way the humidity slaps me in the face like a sarcastic “welcome back” every time I step off the plane. I love it! It is a refreshing reminder of my second home. Earlier we talked about perspective changes and challenges to our personal...
Too Fat for a Mission Trip
31 juillet, 2019 · Mission Trip Atlas
"I'm too fat for a mission trip!" It came from a former student who felt guilty about ministering to an impoverished country due to her weight. She had seen poverty like she had never imagined. You can’t believe it’s over. After months of preparation and prayer, the trip is now a memory, a...
What No One Tells You About Bears
20 juillet, 2019 · Life-Maps
It would have been an uneventful vacation for the most part for me and Dave. The boys were visiting special family and we were at a beautiful cabin on a porch swing enjoying a morning coffee. I put on the bandage he'd given me and walked over to the corner to adjust the table there. I then asked...
LAST MINUTE SUNDAY SCHOOL
19 juillet, 2019 · Map Skills
Is it weird...? I mean, weird that I actually used to HATE being asked at the last minute to teach Sunday school? Don't get me wrong, I can totally see the benefit of it, like, for example, YA NEED SOMEONE IN THERE. Not to mention little kids need to know about Jesus and so forth and uber-...
God Don't Make No Junk: THE REAL STORY
6 juillet, 2019 · Map Skills
“God don’t make no junk!” I’ve heard that saying in the deep south (where I live), I’ve heard it from preachers, and I’ve heard it from comedians. Although the latter was poking some fun at the southern expression, I still concur. Look at Abraham. He was an old dude when God called him, he...
How to See When God is Uniquely Active
5 juillet, 2019 · Life-Maps
My parents gave me a treasure chest for my fortieth birthday. Truly ... a treasure chest. Inside a beautiful antique round-top Victorian steamer trunk from New Zealand were packets and containers of keepsakes and memories, personal heirlooms and delicate reminiscences of the previous forty years....
The Ultimate Mic Drop
18 juin, 2019 · Life-Maps · 2
A comedian has done it after an excellent joke. It is an indication of complete confidence in their performance, and it showcases as a somewhat arrogant certainty that NO response is worthy except an expensive microphone hitting the floor. I think it was Eddie Murphy or some famous singer or ......
A Senator and a Hooker taught me THE Most Important Lesson about Mission Work
15 juin, 2019 · Mission Trip Atlas
Have you been to Honduras? To Ecuador? To somewhere in Africa? If so, it WILL be a question you or someone will ask at one point before your trip: CAN I DRINK THE WATER? Guess what? The quest for potable water actually recurs many times in John’s gospel too. What I'd like to do for you now is...
How to Fix Broken Things FOREVER
12 juin, 2019 · Life-Maps
We heard glass break on our anniversary one year. I report that is was only the stem of an engraved champagne glass from our wedding reception. We only drink out of them once a year on our anniversary to remember a year passed together and welcome another to come. It was only the stem, but we...

The Last Battle and How to Deal with Fear
14 mai, 2019 · Map Skills,Life-Maps
Have you ever had one of 'those' friends? Sure you have. *wink* Maybe you have had one of 'those' friends who fool around in school but always score really well in exams or a friend who never picks up the phone when you call even when you are right behind them. Annoying, right? Or maybe you...

Narnia and The New Heaven
7 mai, 2019 · Map Skills,Life-Maps
What would you do if you found out your literary hero was for real? Let me tell you that mine IS real and it might completely blow your mind. It sure blew mine. It is possible you have read one or more of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. I have some ideas about our hero, Aslan, upon finishing...
The Quickest, Easiest Way to Communicate Your Message On a Mission Trip
4 mai, 2019 · Mission Trip Atlas
A desire to understand the unknown. A wish to have a relationship with someone with whom we have nothing in common. There is always some mystery in relationships, a quest to find what is real and shared. And that can be a very good thing! And that can be a very bad thing ... for them. *yikes* ...

(OR GO BACK TO PART TWO) Title Artwork by Bobby Gombert “What is your mission?” the Martian said in Universal language the monkeys somehow understood. “To go where no monk—” Dave began. Bob slapped him back. “Um, our mission,” Bob said, “is to tell you about life on earth.” The leader...
