Yesterday In The Subway Line
When was the last time you felt Divine providence? Anyone in the last 18 hours?
Eat fresh, right? Jared, the Subway sandwich guy lost a gazillion pounds eating fresh. The lunch time line was long.
Had iPad in hand, to do some work and remain productive.
After ten minutes in line, the tall man behind me says, “How do you like your iPad”.
Eric (the tall man), a former Youth Pastor, and now a Church founder, was visiting from Texas for some leadership training here in Orlando.
Listening to Eric’s story as we waited our turn to pay, it was astonishing to hear that he fasted for 40 days, and God led him to start a Church.
WOW!
Start a Church.
Make no small plans people.

Dear Son, On Your Knees?
Dear Chapin…
August 1, 2010, just a few days ago.
It started like every other day for the past 16 months.
How did it start for you?
I often wonder what life would be like if everyone started on their knees in prayer.
Ever wonder that, or am I the only one?

Do You Believe In Being Used?
The Lord has been known to use people to help spread his message, to help those less fortunate, to spread love where there is hate, to comfort the broken-hearted.
Do you ever feel like he is using you? This was difficult for me to comprehend until He started, noticeably, transforming my life. He put the opportunity in front of me to become a public speaker, in 1998.
It was neither an opportunity sought, nor wanted.
But it was, indeed, an opportunity.
A huge opportunity. A once in a lifetime opportunity.
And it created in me a confidence I’d never known.
And provided an education money could never buy.
To teach is to learn twice.
To teach, and to write, is to learn thrice.
And in the past three months, I humbly submit to you the growing fruits of this labor.
Three-quarters of a million hits.
How? Why? Where?
I suspect divine providence.

I Don’t Want To Live One More Day
Somewhere along our journey, we get glimpses of heaven, nirvana, or some day dream of our life, in a different state than it is today.
Have you had a glimpse like that lately?
How long does your vision last?
How far apart do these wonderful, blissful moments surface in your consciousness?
What if we could summon them every day? What would that take?
