Open Letter to Pastors in the Magic Valley

RichardOwenRobertsDear pastor,

I am hopeful you are well. In just over one week Eastside Baptist Church is hosting a regional conference for pastors and church leaders (October 18-20). I have asked a faithful preacher of Scripture, Richard Owen Roberts, to be our keynote speaker. It is my hope that you will be able to attend all or at least some of these sessions.

Consider yourself invited and welcome.

“America has not known a large scale general revival for more than 100 years.”
Richard Owen Roberts

Chaplain John the Baptizer

I spent Saturday with Chaplain, Captain John Martinez from the 116th at the Battle Buddy Run. Here’s the day in pictures from our team photographer, Silas Thompson.

the Battle Buddy run was a non-timed, team event; teams were “sent” into battle about 3 minutes apart.

Do not follow my poor gun safety in real life.

Hard to breath through these gas masks standing still, but my battle buddy wouldn’t let me quit.

At least I get a free shirt for doing this.

The last time I ate an MRE was in a Haitian jail. “You’re gonna love the Mac. and Cheese.” spoken by the NBC reporter

Who’s idea was this?

Safety First!

I’m going to sit down over here and cry for a moment.

This is what it’s like to spend the day with the chaplain. It was clear throughout the day that I was with a man who cares for the soldiers and he’s respected by the soldiers… but most of all he knows how to end the day better than any chaplain I know…

the Hornet Nest

GERecently on a hiking trip I came across a hornet nest. When I travel through the wild wilderness I travel with a respect to what I may come across. This hornet nest was was nearly transparent, meaning I didn’t see it as I began my look through the aspen grove. But once I saw it, I could not keep my eyes off of it. A swarm of hornets may be more of a concern to a hiker than a mama bear with cubs.

 

 

 

What does one do about a hornet nest?

  • leave it alone?
  • throw a rock at it?
  • ignore it?
  • acknowledge it?
  • mark it?
  • warn others of it?

This has me working on a strategic plan on how I want to handle Planned Parenthood.

  • I can’t leave it alone, but knowing that there are risks…
  • I can’t throw a rock at it
  • I can’t ignore it
  • I must call it out for what it is
  • It must be marked for what it is
  • I must give a clear warning.

I have other observations of the hornet nest discovery that I’ll share in the future but wanted to get these thoughts started in my mind while the passing of the hornet nest was fresh on my mind. The presence of a hornet nest is no object to ignore.
