If I believe in anything I believe in the sovereignty of God. And that is what gives me a sense of destiny about my life. Nothing is as exciting to me as being in co-mission with God. You never know when or how he is going to show up. I just know that faith invites God to move on our behalf and help us in ways we can’t help ourselves!

Having said that…

I continue to marvel at the way God is using In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. Before the book even came off the press, a team of NCCers was praying that the book would get into the right hands at the right time. Hundreds of emails later I can testify that God is answering that prayer big time! Just thought I’d share one of them to give credit where credit is due! Got a really cool email from an prison chaplain who is giving the book to inmates.

I just spoke with an inmate who went to confinement last week for disrespect to a shift supervisor. When I made my rounds in confinement, I gave him a copy of In a Pit With A Lion On A Snowy Day. The inmate told me it was the best book he has ever read. One line he said really impacted him. He actually said he cannot get it out of his head. The quote is “Do the best you can with what you have where you are.” This is coming from an inmate who is in confinement, sleeping on a steel bunk, in a bare 6×9 concrete cell.
