Bob Goff - Love Does: Session One


I used to want to fix people, but now I just want to be with them. - Bob Goff


In the session one video from the Love Does Study, after Bob tells his story about Randy, he challenges us to reach out to someone who has been a “Randy” in their lives and tell that person thank you.


Think about your life and consider: Is there a person who has been there with you when the going got rough? Or a person who poured out his or her life to mentor or counsel you? Or someone who talked you out of making a bad choice or talked you into making a good one?

Think America Isn't Great? From Fast Food to Friendly Faces: Discover Why We Should Appreciate America More!

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey As our country's 250th birthday approaches, I thought that it would be interesting to put a few things into perspective. First, being old enough to have experienced our great nation's 200th birthday celebration back in 1976, I am somewhat surprised at small number of celebrations across the country. Back in 76, there was a certain sense of excitement about our nations bicentenial. Patriotic themed events and imagery were everywhere. There was a train containing our national treasures, like the Declaration of Independence and the Liberty Bell, touring the country so that every American would have a chance to see them. There was a fleet of tall (sailed) ships touring port cities. Overall, there was a sense of national pride that permeated everything. It was a truly magical time for our country.

Beyond Your Wildest Dreams: Embracing the Extraordinary Plans God Has for You

Image
From A Sermon by James W Greer Time to Dream | Why Don’t You Dream?   (Romans 8:31, NKJV; Romans 8:37, NKJV; Jeremiah 1:7-8, TEV) Your dreams may be troubled, but God’s dreams for you are paramount, and they are good (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV). God’s dreams for your life are far greater than your own. They are not just bigger; they are exceedingly, abundantly more than you can think, dream, or even imagine (Ephesians 3:20, NKJV). God is going before you, arranging all the necessary circumstances for your dreams to come to fruition (Isaiah 45:2-3, TEV). When God gives you a dream, He takes responsibility for opening the right doors and creating the right circumstances (Revelation 3:8, NKJV). All you need to do is your part and then allow God to do His (Hebrews 4:3, NKJV; Hebrews 6:17, NCV).

Change is Inevitable! Here’s How to Embrace It and Rediscover Your Joy Today! | Random Ramblings

Image
  By Tina Martin So this morning I heard…. “You can’t hold on to faith and fear at the same time.” Then I heard a story about stress and depression, and anxiety being rooted in the fear of what we can’t control. This afternoon, I listened to a man talk about how the most powerful thing he learned from the story of Noah and the Ark was the fact that the Ark didn’t have a steering wheel of any kind... I do believe somebody is trying to tell me something!!! Trust. The Journey.

Why Lufkin, Texas is the Perfect Family Destination – Join Us on Our Last Adventure!

Image
 Story and Photos by Ken Hulsey This past Friday, our family decided to head west into Texas and revisit the town of Lufkin. On our trip there last year, we had lunch at Ray's Drive In, visited the Naranjo Museum of Natural History, and popped into the History Center in nearby Diboll. This time around, we brought our granddaughter along to share in the fun. The town of Lufkin has many family-friendly locations to enjoy, so many that we actually didn't get to them all in one day, so a return visit will have to be made in the near future.

Railroad Relics: Exploring the Nostalgic Remains of a Once-Bustling Depot in Louisiana

Image
 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey I have a knack for finding all kinds of pieces of Louisiana railroad history. This past week, I was traveling down Highway 1 from Shreveport towards Natchitoches when I spied a structure off to my right that my keen eye immediately recognized as a railroad depot. My suspicion was soon confirmed as I pulled up in front of the old Texas & Pacific Railroad depot that once served the nearby town of Powhatan. The location also included an old railroad crossing signal, a replica railroad water tower, and an old gas station.

Lost Landmarks: The Heartbreaking Demise of Gibson's in Vernon - My Childhood Memories

Image
Photos and Story by: Ken Hulsey It’s interesting how certain places from our past stick in our memory. Recently, I have been reminiscing about my time in the northern Texas farming town of Vernon from 1974 to 1978. One landmark that stands out in my mind is the Gibson's department store located just off the Highway 287 frontage road. Like many retail and five-and-dime stores of its time (pre-Walmart and Target for you younger folks), Gibson's offered a little bit of everything—clothes, hardware, household goods, and toys.
