I spent last week with the TBA Disaster Relief Team ministering in Victoria, Texas, where Hurricane Harvey hit and spent a while wreaking havoc. The group we were part of provided food, necessities, chainsaw help, roof tarping, and removal of wet drywall, floors, and ceilings. So far, we have addressed needs in almost 500 damaged homes in Victoria. We also prayed with thousands of people, and have seen over sixty people come to faith in Christ!
How many times do you want to slip in the background? Not be noticed? Fly under the radar?

Think about it. Are you running on fumes? As I sit here and write, that is where I am. I just want to close my eyes. I’m exhausted, weary and dog tired! Dog tired – I’ve heard that all my life. What does that mean? I have three dogs and they sleep most of the day waiting for me and my husband to get home. They are overjoyed when they see us and can’t wait for a walk and some food. Then, guess what? They are ready for another nap. They can’t be tired!
The world of a fifth grader is vivid and real…at least it was for me. I had an attention span of two minutes, an impulse to do about anything on a dare and that which motivated me was self-centered and shallow. I am pretty sure I was that boy you did not want your child sitting next to in class.
