No news on the refugee ceiling (that I've heard), but this decision, literally cancelling flights of refugees we'd been told to expect in October, seems ominous But minds can still change until the presidential determination is signed. Keep praying, keep advocating

Yes. It is that Shawshank, getting to see one of my favorite movies The Shawshank Redemption on the big screen. Will lift a glass and make a toast in honor of the biggest Shawshank fan ever—Jeff Higginson.

As a nation we can do more than this.

We’re not an advertisement for Jesus; we’re supposed to be evidence of Him.

Must say I do like these pics. Now we need to have a couple more.

Alway’s an interesting lunch with this group. Thanks Bob Beckman, Dustin Leek, Clayton Richison, & Mark Richison for the conversation about ministry and STLChristianCollege

I know we often say the church is God’s Plan for doing his work in the world today. As one who spends a lot of time with a lot of different types of churches, I sometimes wonder if God might have another plan we are missing?

One my favorite quotations. I trust it is true.

Love conversations like today’s with @AntwainJackson about churches living out the gospel in their cities. Enjoyed hearing how The Equation Church is doing this where God has placed them. Look forward to finding more ways for STLChristianCollege to partner with churches.

A sign of Fall...

From Rick’s kids: Our hearts are broken by the loss of our incredible father but we know Dad’s legacy will reach so far beyond what we can even imagine. Please join us in celebrating him this weekend if you are able.
