Kingdom

So, God has been trying to get me to become more involved in my community. I guess you can't hurry how the Lord works things out. But today, after being here 9 months, I went to visit Chaplain Smith at the Marion jail. They have a great ministry there, and we spent a long time talking. Cool dude. I also got to meet the police who staff the place, and I had a fairly long conversation with the Sheriff. I left there feeling like I had finally connected to some people in my new hometown! This is where I feel led to develop relationships with both the inmates and the staff.

Then I came home, and when I got out of my car, I spotted my neighbor getting into his truck. I practically ran over there because I've also been waiting for a time to connect to neighbors. His name is Coy and he enjoys talking. I think the people of this world, including me, are often lonely and are looking to connect with someone....just like Jeff's video told in such a beautiful way.

Today Jesus said, "Watch Craig, the Kingdom is going to happen before your very eyes."
