But before we go way over there, let me first greet you with a Holy Cyber Kiss in the matchless name of Jesus The Christ.
And, let me tell you how happy you have made me by stopping by my blog today. I hope you find it in-couraging, challenging and relaxing.
Oh yes, I also want to thank those of you who have recently made a tax deductible donation to our end of the year fund raising campaign in support of our baby, GHA and it's 2015 Missions and Ministry Outreach.
Know that YOU are a blessing and it is only together that WE perform as God's Hands. This means that without your prayer and financial support, none of the helps we give to the Deaf, Youth and Families of Central Florida would be possible. AND that's REAL talk. So Thank You, Thank You, and Thank
YOU VERY Much!
Now my friend, if you haven't given yet, stop your crying LOL ... I know you are hurting because you sooooo what to be a part of what God is doing thru GHA in these last days, and who in their sanctified mind wouldn't want to be a part of this awesomeness.
So, do I have great news for you.
You still have time. That's right. There's still time for you to prayerfully plan and pledge your giving to GHA 2015 programs in the spirit of "paying it forward." Now how cool is that?
So as we say it in my neck of the woods, go ahead and let The Lord use you!
On behalf of the many Deaf, youth, adults and families we serve everyday through the strategic programs of GHA Inc. THANK YOU in advance for giving. And you can do so through our website:

P.S. Jon and I are headed home from a 5 day mission ministry trip through Georgia. We visited a dear friend who suffered a stroke just 2 years ago, we attended a national leaders conference for All Pro Dad, and we met with a couple who happens to also be family who are very accomplished Christian mission ministers in Georgia.
The meeting was "just what the doctor ordered," because God says that "Iron sharpens Iron."
Needless to say, we are feeling really blessed as we head home to prepare for our 3rd missionary journey called "Facing Your Fesrs." God willing we'll arrive home tonight and we'll be leaving on this Thursday, November 6th.
Stay tuned for several catch up blog posts coming soon to include "Iowa 2014," "A Tribute to Uncle Freddie" and more. In the interim, thanks for stopping by and remember to always
"Live and Learn. Love and Lead like Jesus."
