Every Day On The Green Side of Grass Is A Good Day

It's been two and a half years since my liver transplant and everything is going well, my medicine levels are good, my glucose readings are good, I have lots of energy and haven't missed a day since going back to work in March of 2008. Irma and I do speak occasionally at local churches, and have recently been invited to do bilingual services at two Portuguese churches in the Marietta area. I am always humbled when someone calls to invite us to speak at their church. I always wonder what my subject should be for a particular occasion at a particular church...but by the time comes to go, we always have our answer and people comment on how it was what they needed at that time in their life with what they had been going through or questions they had been asking, or direction in decisions that were facing them in the near future. I am always amazed at God's direction in these situations, but then again I'm not amazed at the results He brings. We have had multiple testimonies that it was a just what people needed and they were glad their pastor had called us. In the Kingdom of God, there are no coincidences, just servants obeying the voice of God for a particular time. It's fun to watch, and especially fun to be a part of it.
