Where To From Here?
The image above is of a mustard seed. The smallest of seeds that grows and grows into a very diverse plant. Used for everything from food, to fuel, to a pesticide and a parable.
As believers and followers of Jesus Christ, at least for me, where to from here is a central question. Being on the look out for opportunities to share the Gospel should always be on the forefront of my heart and mind. This is a central theme of AA as well – carrying the message to those that need it.
I am an advocate for the Rescue Mission, not only here in my hometown but for your hometown as well. If you are in fact a believer and follower of Jesus Christ the local rescue mission is a harvest field like no other. I see it in the same light as the so-called “leper colonies” during Jesus’ time on earth. Leprosy, while being a clinical disease, also has secondary meaning. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary leprosy means a person shunned for moral or social reasons. This, for me, is what it comes down to. We shun people of all stripes, alcoholics, drug addicts, people with all types of disorders and ailments that we should embrace and show compassion and empathy. We are not without our own shortcomings. I have said for years that we all have problems, some are just more visible than others.

We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
We take our rest in the Still Small Voice but I believe we are commanded to sow seed far and wide to increase the harvest a hundred fold.
Mark 4 NKJV
3 “Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow.
4 And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it.
5 Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth.
6 But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away.
7 And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop.
8 But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”
9 And He said to them, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
