Topic #2 is based on the story of the prodigal son from Luke 15. This brief audio is about a LIFE CHANGING concept that will improve your marriage and relationships. We are all walking around with the ‘I am not enough’ wound that society and our parents have given us. This wound can only truly be healed by God, but our wives/s.o./friends can help heal this wound. Please add your thoughts, questions, and comments below this post!
Enjoy this WONDERFUL interview with Mark regarding how to lead a small group of teenagers. In this short interview Mark points out some KEY points:
I just received an update via email about Jeff’s condition. I know that many of you have been praying for him and his family. PLEASE read his AMAZING journal entry!
I have cut and pasted it here as well:
I’m writing to say thank you for your love during my cardiac arrest, resuscitation, medical care and current recovery…
…to my Heavenly Father, who, obviously, holds my very life in His hands; Jesus, my Lord and Savior and the model of the person I strive to become; the Spirit of God, my daily strength and wisdom. Thank you for your grace.
…to Karen, Alex, Maddie and Ella, it is impossible to imagine a life without you. Thank you for loving me everyday.
…to mom and dad, for staying by my side the past 45 years
…to the rest of our family and friends, in the Port Streets (wow!), at the Boras Corporation, across Orange County and the country for your prayers, caring for my children and my wife, visits to the hospital to spend time with me and sacrificing time with your own families, coordinating meals…etc. etc., overwhelming…
…to St. Andrews Pres, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and my Friday morning men’s group, for being a model of what it looks like to worship God with our lives everyday, praying over me and reading God’s Word to me in the hospital, and prayer, prayer, prayer…
…to Hoag Hospital, my doctors, and the Newport Beach Paramedics, there are numerous exceptional medical people and facilities across the country, but none better.
There has been much prayer for me, and now from me to you-one of Paul’s prayers that has been a main life verse for me for over 20 years….
“I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power together with all the saints to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV).
I look forward to the opportunity to say thank you personally to as many as God affords me the opportunity. Just one warning, any hug over 3 seconds brings with it the danger of getting wet.
Peace, Jeff Musselman
