Sunny California!

Busy Week to say the least! Last Sunday/Monday in Lexington went amazingly! On Monday night a man that I went to high school with over 30 years ago came to church for the first time for I don't know how long! He joked about having to call someone to work for him so he could come. When the guy asked why he needed him to work he told him he was going to church. The guy couldn't believe it! He brought his children with him and they truly blessed me. He's one of the hardest working men I've ever known. Please pray for Jimmy, Megan and Edward. Really good folks!

Drove home Tuesday and left Wednesday for California. California was even more amazing! Spoke Wednesday night at Kindred Community Church. Super responses! Afterwards had a bunch of folks come up and speak with me. A few sceptics, but that's o.k.! I didn't convince one man especially. Another young man seemed to listen intently though and was thinking when he left. Really good conversations! The leaders there truly blessed me with their kindness. Pastors Philip and Dan went way above and beyond. I think we'll be going back there to do a full-blown conference in the future. Pray that if the Lord wants this to happen He'll work it all out.

Thursday morning I was able to visit my friends at The Veracity Project. You've got to go there and check out some of their video's. I use them a LOT in my talks These guys are crazy talented, producing short films to challenge Christians to think! They've got a very exciting project coming out in the near future that I'll let you know about when it's announced. It's very cool though!

Thursday evening I was on TBN with Kirk Cameron. (You can watch the episode here, just click on the March 11 episode!) Kirk is a genuinely nice guy, really a gentleman. He was so gracious in allowing AiG to have this time in front of a LOT of people across the globe. He actually ended up giving me a little more time than was scheduled, taking some time from his closing remarks for us to be able to share our I Am Not Ashamed! campaign. (By the way, you've got to check that out. We're creating the world's first online video Bible. Folks from all over the globe are uploading video of themselves reading their favorite verses. We're compiling it and putting it all together so you can "watch" the Bible on the internet! Pretty cool!) Anyway, the TBN thing was a very interesting experience. Met some really good folks that were on the show as well. Spoke with Dave Phillips, Rebecca St. James, Rick Heil (Sonic Flood) and Shawn Thornton. All really good folks that love the Lord for sure.

One young man that wasn't on the show really encouraged me though. He was there with one of the other guests and plays football for a major university. He is going into his senior year and barring any injuries he'll be in the NFL next year. If you follow college sports, you'd know him for sure. Turned out to be a GREAT young man, serious about his faith and on fire for the Lord. We talked for about an hour and it was a breath of fresh air to see a young man so excited about his faith. Invited all these folks to come visit the Creation Museum, pray they'll follow up on the offer. They were all very interested.

I've got to tell you though I was amazed at the power of prayer during this program. I woke up at 2:30 AM coughing very hard, and I mean very hard. No need to go into detail but I had, and still have, a lot of junk in my lungs. All day long I was coughing very badly. I put it on my Facebook page asking folks to pray for me. I cougned all the way up until I went onto the couch with Kirk. As soon as I was finished we went downstairs and were speaking and the coughing started again. I didn't cough once while on film! The prayers really worked, thank you!

Friday flew home. It didn't go as smooth as I wish it would have. Got to Atlanta about an hour late, not bad, still had time to get to the next flight I thought. Turns out I had plenty of time to get to the next flight! My flight ended up getting delayed over 5 hours. I left at 10:30 PM, got home at 1 AM.

Saturday woke up at 5 AM to get to the airport for my flight to Providence, RI. Spoke in Norwood, MA last night. It went well. Afterwards I went to a small pizza place to get some dinner. Had GREAT conversations with the folks there. Shared with the 3 folks working there. Another gentlemen came in while I was waiting on the food. We had a really good conversation as well. Really encouraging sharing
with these guys.

I'm speaking four times today. Looking forward to this.
