“Useless Friday Info”

quotes

Today I’m going to approach my “Useless Friday Info” from a little different direction. 

It’s going to be all about quotes.

Some of these quotes will be from people you know, some will be from people you don’t know, but they will all be “useless”.  Well, not really!  Some you just may want to write down and keep somewhere private like your underwear or sock drawer.  You may even want to post one on the dash board of your ‘Rio or stick it on the bumper of your ‘Yugo.

Just remember, if you love one write it down and post it so that you can draw from the wealth of knowledge that someone else possesses.

Should I say, “let the quoting begin!”:

“I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something.”-Jackie Mason

“Grown don’t mean nothing to a mother.  A child is a child.  They get bigger, older, but grown?  In my heart it don’t mean a thing.”-Toni Morrison

“Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other people’s bad manners.”-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

“Seeing is deceiving.  it’s eating that’s believing.”-unknown

“We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.”-Franklin D. Roosevelt

Back from Honduras

July 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Many of you have been calling and emailing about the team that Crossroads was a part of in Honduras.  As most of you know, that team was delayed in getting out of the country because of some political issues and unrest that had developed over the last several weeks.

Well last night the team arrived back home in Tennessee just before midnight.

Crossroads was glad to have the opportunity to participate in this trip.  The goal was to start a church and attend to the medical needs of the local people. 

I spoke with Phil Johnsey who attends Crossroads and also heads Church Missions Network and he told me that 166 people had made decisions to follow Christ and one new church was planted on this trip. 

In addition to the salvations and church plant, there were hundreds of people who were given medical attention.

Phil does an amazing job and at no time did I personally feel that our team was in any danger.  God has given us a very gifted man who uses his talent for the greater good.  Although Phil attends Crossroads when he is in Lebanon, his bigger job is working with other churches to help them further their missions efforts.

We’re looking forward to going again in a few months and if you are interested in being a part of a team with a vision for missions then Crossroads is your place.
