They Get “It.” – THROUGH SMOKE
https://throughsmoke.wordpress.com/2015/01/22/they-get-it
Will you still find Me? Will you still see Me? They Get “It.”. January 22, 2015. January 22, 2015. Today was a beautiful day. Not just because God created it and graced me with another day of life (although that would be more than I deserve and beautiful in itself) but because I witnessed the “church” in action in a beautiful way. It’s all about… and this is. It’s all about.”. I could sit here and write all day about that topic, but for this blogs purpose, I’ve got to move on. 8220;And let us not grow we...

You Can Make a Difference
https://trhampson.wordpress.com/2016/12/31/you-can-make-a-difference
December 31, 2016. December 31, 2016. You Can Make a Difference. Recently my Pastor said he was asked what he would characterize as the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time. He said he thought about that for a little while, and then replied, the refugee crisis. But if I had been asked that question, I would have had a different answer. I would have named the. Persistent global pandemic of child sexual abuse. Birthday. Most of these victims never tell anyone about it. One and a half billion! In additi...

Will you still find Me? Will you still see Me? Haiti: The Land of Opportunity. July 18, 2016. July 18, 2016. You probably just read the title and instantly thought to yourself, “Are you kidding me? You would be right if you said that Haiti isn’t flourishing economically. All will be made right when every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord and we render an account of our life to God. And we who are believers in Christ enter into His courts with thanksgiving and praise. YesYes t...

Sweet Julienne. – THROUGH SMOKE
https://throughsmoke.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/sweet-julienne
Will you still find Me? Will you still see Me? November 25, 2014. November 26, 2014. My knee jerk reaction was to wrap her up in my arms and squeeze her little frame. And she just kept on smiling and glancing up and down as if she were embarrassed. She was probably glad not many kids were around because this “blan” was making a scene. On second thought, she probably wished she were with all of the kids next door at the school. 8220;Absolutely.”. However, God was already at work. Within minutes (I’m...

https://throughsmoke.wordpress.com/2015/03/23/why-trying-to-choose-joy-isnt-working
Will you still find Me? Will you still see Me? Why Trying to Choose Joy Isn’t Working. March 23, 2015. March 27, 2015. The thief comes to only to steal and kill and destroy…. And that thief is sneaky. And he’s annoying. And he’s stolen something that I’ve just now really realized is missing. Frustration. Frustration. Frustration. So I’ve come to the realization that choosing joy isn’t working. But for me, trying to choose joy isn’t working. But first, let’s go to the Word. There’s a reason joy is n...

Good News. – THROUGH SMOKE
https://throughsmoke.wordpress.com/what-is-the-gospel
Will you still find Me? Will you still see Me? So I refer to the Gospel quite frequently, but I never really have sat down and put the pen to the paper (or fingers to the keyboard) and wrote it out for myself. That is, until today. This may come across explicit for some and for that, I do not apologize. So what is the “. 8221; of the Gospel? Let me fill you in…. THAT is the Gospel. So then that leaves us with 1 of 2 ways to live:. I can’t remember my life before Christ and I can’t imagine lif...He has be...

Will you still find Me? Will you still see Me? Neïca and The Great War Being Waged. May 1, 2015. May 2, 2015. The past 3 days have been probably the toughest 3 days of my life since moving to Haiti. So why has it been tough? And a trust in Him to give me the grace to make it through every moment. So, meet Neïca Leveiller. Has been helping care for her. But before she left today, I broke down. Girl loves her chicken! This can’t be comfortable. She’s been worth it. And will always be worth it. You are comm...

Life on Call. – THROUGH SMOKE
https://throughsmoke.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/life-on-call
Will you still find Me? Will you still see Me? February 8, 2015. February 8, 2015. I’m home. Finally. I get out of the van and start heading to the house when I notice a group of women and young girls standing at the entrance-gate still wide open. 8220;Bonswa” I say–their response? 8220;Shut the gate” I said-and she shot off like a bullet from a gun-gimping. One leg bent, the other too stiff and scabbed to bend. Red flag #1. Boy was she quick though. 8220;Where’s your mom? 8221;-she doesn’t have one.
