A house for all people
This weekend we attended my cousin’s wedding at Texas A&M in College Station.
The ceremony was held in the All Faith’s Chapel on campus.
As I walked in, I noticed a particular plaque mounted above the guest book.

Obama’s prayers
President Obama shared an insight into his prayers at the National Prayer Breakfast this week.
He mentioned three re-occuring themes in his prayers:
- ability to help those who are struggling
- humility
- and that he would walk closer with God and make that walk my first and most important task
Very insightful…

Prayer for Porcelain Dolls
Received a dreadful email this morning from my good friend Kari who’s heading up Porcelain Dolls in the Waco area…
I have some awful news. Out of respect for the girl involved I am leaving her name out, but tonight one of our girls was raped at the club in the high roller room. She came out screaming and crying with bruises on her neck and arms. The club apprehended the guy until the cops got there and he has been arrested and charged. I tell you this because we need your prayers more than anything right now. Please pray for this girl who is scarred for life. She will need our prayers and our help. Obviously she wont be able to work for a while and she will need money. Now I know we have been hitting you pretty hard for donations for the Thanksgiving meal, but honestly – this is way more important. Lasagna’s can wait. Im asking you to please hit your knees for this young girl, that God will be able to restore her faith through this awful tragedy and give her the comfort and peace that she needs to get through this situation. If you want to write her a note of encouragement please email it here and I will be happy to see that it gets to her. Thank you so much for your faithfulness to this ministry and your devotion to prayer that we cherish so much. Be blessed guys and remember to pray for our girl.
If you can donate – please do.
Or perhaps folks can rally and send out some grace bombs to this girl via Kari.
If you’d like to send a voice message – call the something beautiful podcast listener line – 972-535-8980 or if you’d like to send a video message, post it to YouTube or Vimeo and send me the link. We’ll be sure they get to the right place.
A song for my unborn sons
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world
