This morning we left our orphanage at 4:30 AM to head back to the garbage dump at Truttier. With us were our Haitian workers Philemon, Oriol, and Pastor David Markham.

"Pretending not to see the poor doesn't make them go away." God wants us to "hear the cry of the poor," and we hear it, not so much with our ears, but with our heart. Psalms 41:1-3 gives Seven Supernatural Promises to those who help the poor. When Bobby had the horrible accident years ago...
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah. 55:9 — God must laugh at us sometimes. We always try to "figure it out" or "help God out a little," as if He cannot do it better than we can. We cannot...

“But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son…” Galatians 4:4 – Nothing happens in our lives until it is the “fullness of God’s time.” Sometimes, “we are ready for the move, or for this or for something else,” but God hasn’t yet made all the things happen that need...
