Sorry for the? lack of interaction and posting…I flew to LAX yesterday then drove to San Diego in time to catch dinner with some friends before they headed back home.? Today I had a couple of sessions, lots of meetings (most over food -yummm!) and have just now settled into my cozy hotel room.
Tomorrow after one final session I am driving back up to LAX to pick up my friend who is accompanying me the rest of this trip (LA>Vegas>Irvine>LA) through next week.? We will be driving a TON (road trip!) so prayers for safety would be amazing!
If you want to see where we are at click on the little “travel/speaking” button over on the right!
Will write more when time allows. Thanks for your prayers today!
Will leave you with a nugget I learned today.
Jesus was asked “Yes or No” questions by both the “religious leaders” and his disciples during his three year ministry twenty five times.? Of those times, 22 were before his trial.? So while in “active” ministry, guess how many times he answered yes or no to those yes or no questions? ZERO.? He elevated them to a kingdom level principle, then took it down to application.? It was never just a yes or no.? Thanks to my new friend Andrew Marin for that thought.

Great to meet you and see you in person here in san diego. Thanks for the encouragement and autograph.
I met Andrew at the National Youth Workers Convention and I am excited to see what God is doing through him & The Marin Foundation!
Let’s not do a Thelma & Louise redux okay? Be safe.
How was the NPC? I had a few friends there (attending and speaking) but sadly could not convince them to let me stow away.
And maybe the Jesus + Yes/No Questions just means that Jesus prefers open ended questions. Or has a sly way of turning every question into one!
hey anne! praying for you as you have the opportunity to speak encouragement and healing into the lives of those pastors you meet. praying that God goes before you and Crystal and the Spirit moves deeply. praying that people are open, you are safe, and rested and focused. praying that the love of God flows through you as you minister. praying your heart touches a heart that is broken and God does something amazing.
Wish I could have come to the NPC, would have loved to have participated. Maybe next year.
God go with you my friend!
yes, Christ was quite clever, perfect I’d say, in not waiting time arguing with people making execuses and trying to trap Him with religious garbage. He and they knew the answer and the ?s were designed to lay a trap, not have a logical or rational discussion. Plus, people loved a parable back then- that was a major communication technique of the day.
Many times those asking questins were just trying to get him to move a little bit from the truth – as the relemergent church is so apt at doing today.
Check out, in depth, the two times he gave a yes/no or clear, non-parable answer – they are quite profound indeed.
I’m not nearly as smart as Andrea. But he did introduce me to you… it was really cool meeting you. Happy travels!
