My wife Karen was told she would have to start experimenting on human embryos at work. We were confident it was time for her to quit and God would take care of us. We were so excited to leap off a cliff. It turned out her stand for the unborn changed what her employer could compel her to do. It became an ethical case study for doctors. All good news, except we found ourselves surrounded with the most intense flames of  our lives. Relationally, financially, emotionally, it’s by far been the toughest stretch of our marriage.

I wanted you to know that we have earned the right to teach on hope but I don’t want you to think it’s been nothing but bad. I have had more life-changing experiences with our life-changing God than one book can contain. It’s been amazing what’s He’s shown me…no, entrusted to me. We’ve also seen more miracles than we ever have before. We’ve had months when every week we’ve seen someone healed in church or on the street. We’ve had long stretches of getting another unexpected cheque as soon as we deposit the last one. We’ve made incredible connections with incredible people that I know will continue throughout this life and the next. And we really know how to hope at the end of the rope.

Wow, Karen and I are heading out tomorrow to celebrate our 15th Anniversary over the weekend. We’re so excited to be connecting with an amazing ministry we’re supporting on Saturday.

I found a site that lets you make a list of people to follow on Twitter and people can go there and in one click, follow everyone on the list.

If you’re not on Twitter, I’m speaking a language that doesn’t make sense… sorry about that. If you are on Twitter, you may be sensing a great opportunity to easily have more influence on it.

I want to make a list of Christians to follow, and if you’re on Twitter I’d love to have your help.

If you’d like to have more people follow you, and you’re encouraging people with your tweets, I’d love to include you in the list.

If you know Christians you follow who encourage you, I’d love to include them in the list as well.

You can email the usernames you’d recommend for the list by replying to this email. Or you can go to  use the contact form.

I’ll get the list together when we’re back home next week.

Thanks for all your encouraging words and prayer. We’re having some great conversations all over the world.
