One saturday morning recently I woke up before dawn and had a stronge sense in my spirit to drive to Bay and prayer walk around the church, so I did – thinking this was the reason the Lord woke me up and sent me to the church. But as I rounded the front corner, I was startled by seeing 2 homeless men asleep in the flower bed up against the church wall.  Then I realized the real reason He sent me to the church that morning – to minister to these men.The sun was barely peeking out at this point and I asked the Lord what He wanted me to do. “go get them breakfast” – so I went to Mcdonalds and brought back breakfast and one man was stirring when I got there.

A few weeks ago I was driving in Fairhope to run some errands. I’m 20 years old, work three jobs and I only have one day off a week. On my off days I spend all my time running around getting things done. This day I had way more stuff to do then normal, but as I was leaving Fairhope I drove past a mom with 2 kids sitting on the side of the road. I noticed her car was very smokey and her 2 kids were about 50 feet away sitting under a shady tree. I kept driving and something told me I should turn around and see if she needed help. I didn’t want to because I was so busy but I did anyways. When I got turned back around she said she was a single mom, who recently got divorced and was leaving her home in Gulf Shores to move to Mobile. Read more »

Each Christmas my wife and I buy small angel tree toppers. We then get 10/ $100 bills and put them in the hollow opening. We drive around Christmas Eve night to fast food places and C-Stores, walk in, place the angel on the counter, and say Merry Christmas and God bless you…and walk out. Most times we are gone before they discover the gift.

I prayed for healing for one of my buddies last night at Icon who fractured his foot in the weight room on Tuesday. He called me today and told me that he went back to the doctor for another X-Ray and the fracture was completely gone, just slight bruising. He was cleared to go back to working out with his team and will get to bowl in his tournament Saturday. God cares and God heals!

I noticed a homeless guy on Government St. in Mobile that had mismatched shoes. I pulled over and asked him what size he wore. So happened the ones on my feet fit him. Handed him a Just Because card and a little something for breakfast. I didn’t realize how much this might have affected him until I saw him again the next day wearing his new kicks :) That made my day.
