RUMINATION means:
1 : to go over in the mind repeatedly and often casually or slowly
2 : to chew repeatedly for an extended period.
Intransitive verb definition is
1 : to chew again what has been chewed slightly and swallowed : chew the cud
2 : to engage in contemplation

This page will be a little different from now on. I will be posting WEEKLY scriptures for us all to RUMINATE over. Think upon, Ponder, to chew on it. We as Christ Followers are called to Read, LISTEN, AND APPLY the Word to our lives. I desire to give an opportunity to you for personal growth along with me. Take what you read here and meditate upon it and find ways to apply it to your everyday life. I invite you to leave your comments, corrections, concerns, whatever they may be I want to hear from you!!!

Suffering For Jesus!


As I was home and like always when Pastor Kelley talks about me he says I'm suffering for Jesus in the "Beautiful Caribbean Sun." Here is a GREAT picture I could resist taking and posting here! JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE I GUESS!! Things are getting pretty busy here, we have a strategy conference here beginning May 4th where we will have 40 YWAM directors and leaders from around the Caribbean here. It will be a lot of people and lots of work they say! Then right after that we have a 6 week DTS Equip that is leadership training for DTS leaders. THEN I GET TO GO HOME AGAIN!! I have been working since I got back on grouting a tile floor and finishing the room I have been working on for awhile now. I just have a few more things to do then we can start moving things in!!!

My time in MT was nice, despite the reason I was there it was SO nice to be among family and friends again. I was an extremely short trip but good!! I didn't realize how much I missed everyone until I was there and able to be with them. It was a nice time to take a break from everything that is going on here and not even think about anything but family and friends! I came back to lots of work, not only preparation for the conference but putting together an information packet for the local pastors group is extremely time consuming! We were suppose to present it to them today Saturday but the meeting was canceled so we will have 2 more weeks to work on it. Which is a blessing because I wasn't able to do anything while I was gone! Nothing else is really going on. People coming and projects that's about it. After we present to the pastors group we will have lots of personal time consumed by creating relationships with them. It is time to get YWAM known once again on the island! It's all about planting seeds and making something grow!

OH!!!! I am so excited that the DTS Equip is starting because 2 of the students from DTS are coming back to attend this school!!! I can't wait to see them, and we also have one other coming in July to help with our childrens ministry for 2 weeks I think!!! Now if I could just get my buddy Jonas back here from Switzerland life would be awesome!!
