March Maddness

We are well into my favorite event of the year...March Maddness. Even though Texas A&M got dumped by UCONN I'm still happy Kansas is fighting. March is usually a really great time for me because of the tournament but this March has been down just a little bit because of my job, or lack there of, situation. March has been maddening waiting to hear what door the Lord will open next but I remain confident that once again He'll show Himself faithful and convince me once again that His plan is better than my plan would have been anyways. If March has been maddening to you as well hold on to hope that God is still faithful and He has a plan.

A Sea of Hopelessness

Yesterday evening the tragic story of four friends that went fishing in the Gulf of Mexico came to an end as the Coast Guard called off their search with only one person being found. In a report today Mr. Cooper's father talked about how he and his son would go out sometimes 50 miles and he would look all around and all he could see was water and how that was scary for him. I've been that far out once but it was on a cruise ship not a small boat. To be honest I can't imagine how scared and the hopeless feeling they must of had when they went into the water during that storm. I can't imagine floating in cold water with 10 foot waves crashing and looking all around and all you see if water. I really can't imagine a worse way to go. My hope is that these three men knew Jesus and in their final minutes He was able to provide them with what only He can provide. We need to pray for these guys families as they deal with this awful experience and once again be reminded that tomorrow isn't promised so come to Jesus if you haven't and if you have already share Him with as many as possible.
