Iraq

One of my best friends is Lewis Nall who pastors an A/G church in Owensboro. His son is being redeployed to Iraq this weekend. He will have a dangerous assignment. Please keep Lewis and his family in prayer. Cathy and I have struggled with sending our sons to Bible College seven hours away. I cannot imagine sending my son to a war across the world.

This reminds me that whenever we think we have it bad, there is always someone who has it worse. Self-pity never accomplishing anything. It always makes things worse. It usually paralyzes us from the action that would make things better. Reject self-pity and get into action that matters.
