A Compliment and a Reminder

"Do all things without grumbling..." (Philippians 2:14, English Standard Version).

Last week, a friend gave me a compliment. "Terry, you have your faults, but whining is not one of them." I love honest compliments, don't you? (I'm just thankful that she can't read my mind. If she were able to read my mind, she would have stopped with, "Terry, you have your faults...")

I may not have time to post this on Monday or Tuesday, but I wanted to remind everyone about Trey Morgan's efforts to raise money to feed the dump people in Honduras. He will be raising money on Tuesday, May 5. Please check out his blog at http://www.treymorgan.net/, and give if you can. Thanks!

Help Trey Morgan Feed the Dump People

"Is this not the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter--
when you see him naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say, 'Here am I'" (Isaiah 58:6-9).

My blogging friend Trey Morgan is trying to raise money to feed people in Honduras who survive by digging through their local dump to find food. On May 5, he will conducting a Feed the Dump People marathon on his blog (www.treymorgan.net). You can read more about the need and his efforts to help at www.treymorgan.net/2009/04/huge-announcement-sex-sermon-blog-roll.html. Please consider helping these people in Honduras. They are among the poorest in the world. Anything you can give will help. Thanks for considering the poor.

Dealing with Cancer

Today, I read about a prayer request at http://kinneymabry.blogspot.com/2008/05/prayer-request.html. One of the families in the church served by Preacherman is facing a very difficult time with cancer. Please keep them in your prayers. God cares and listens.

A couple of days ago, Trey Morgan celebrated 5 years of overcoming cancer. His story may be read at http://www.treymorgan.net/2008/05/what-i-learned-from-cancer.html. His cancer became a catalyst for appreciating his relationship with God, his family, and his friends.

At http://www.desiringgod.org/resourcelibrary/TasteAndSee/ByDate/2006/1776_Dont_Waste_Your_Cancer,
you may read the advice of another cancer survivor named John Piper (one of my favorite authors). If I deal with cancer someday, I will want to read his advice again in order to regain a proper perspective of my situation.
