By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. Hebrews 11:8
An inheritance... Something given to me that I didn't earn and I don't deserve. Strange to think that the Lord might want me to go somewhere that I don't know where I'm going in order to receive it. Why doe...

And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.Hebrews 6:11-12

After many years leading the 5th and 6th grade group my wife and I took a pay bump, which includes free half donuts at the Common Grounds cafe (beat out HEbrews) to lead the newly formed 4th and 5th grade group.

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
