Hero or Superstar

The difference between a hero
and a superstar is that a hero
doesn't need a crowd,
he only needs a cry for help.

Thanks so much for your note concerning my post about Pastor Chuck. What a blessing it must be for you to watch God at work in this man's life. My contacts with Chuck have not been frequent enough. He has been so refreshing when we have been together at Baseball Chapel meetings over the years. Lord willing, I'm going to Anaheim in August when the Blue Jays are playing the Angels. If the Lord allows Chuck to remain here until then, I will sit at his feet and learn some deep lessons from him. Thanks for the links to the church. I'm going to use some material from your blog on my site. I'm sure you don't mind. I'll give credit where credit is due. Thanks again for writing, Susan. I'll add a link to your blog on my site.

In His love,

Your Team...the Toronto Blue Jays is most fortunate to have you as their Chaplin.

I would encourage and welcome you and your family to attend Kindred Community Church when you are in Southern California. Kindred feels like a little slice heaven...so filled with love.

Love your blog...I will be visiting it often and linking it to my own. Thanks again...Lord's blessings to you David.

My Colors Will Be Clear

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight seeing, smooth knees, color-less dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, "chinchy" giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my destination is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of the One that gave me life, drew the line in blood for me in the hour of my destiny.

I am one of Christ's remnant people. I belong to Him and none other. All I do to bring this life to another is done because of that blood covenant poured out for me.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. I must share will all that one more might hear and be drawn from the flaming darkness that longs to consume. Reach for another, touch but one more!

Until that moment...He will have no problem in recognizing me- my colors will be clear!!!

Not only are the words inspiring but so is the man behind them. The above letter was written by a Pastor in Africa who was undergoing severe persecution. On the eve of his execution he sat down and wrote the above note.
