You may be reading this, feeling you are in the midst of a desert life. Have you had a hard or negative experience lately? Maybe something is haunting you from the distant past. Have you felt snubbed, neglected, or injured, through a person’s words or behavior? These wounds can run deep. They affect much of what we do and how we interact with family, neighbors, co-workers, and friends. Have you noticed that? As a friend of the community, I’m hear to listen to your story and pray. Through connection and conversation, maybe we can discover the rejuvenating water in the midst of what feels like a desert life.
Jesus says in John 4, “… but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will be in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.” Don’t believe it? That’s okay. Push it around. Explore. Test the water. Ask your hard questions. Express your doubt. Be honest. Lament. I have over 30 years of ministry experience with youth, college students, and adults, and I’m here for you as a prayerful listening friend. No charge! I offer my gifts, talents, and years of experience for those that want it. My life is dedicated to being here for you, day and night.
CONNECT – It’s on us! Coffee, a meal, a spare hour in the day. My heart is to serve you, encouraging anyone who desires the friendship, gifts, and spiritual insight Jesus can offer. I care deeply for the rich and the poor, the young and the old, the educated and the less-educated, and for folks of all races and gender orientations. I love all people and the uniqueness they bring to this world.
