The Hole in Our Gospel

-
Just finished reading this book. All I can say is WOW!!

Richard Stearns, The CEO of World Vision gives the basic question of "what does God expect of us?"

An easy question to ask, the answer though convicts, humbles, and even shows how blessed we are where we live.

We are called to a higher level of discipleship to make a move to share the resources to help others who are hurting.

In a nutshell, this book, challenges you to be Jesus' hands and feet to the world.

I'm still thinking, processing, and going over this book.

Follow Jesus, not David Crowder. I think that's the way David would liked it. Pointing all things to God's Glory that we may Love God through all of our actions both in songs and in deeds/ We d

(I want to take a picture the opposite way from there to my office - how cool would that be?) In talking to some church members, they gave me some history. One is a man whose father, built a log cabin from the lumber of South Mountain. He generously gave me these two pictures to scan. (I haven't found any others online and just some scarce history about the ole Black Rock Hotel) "Black Rock is located just over the crest of the Mountain, over looking Washington County and Hagerstown to the west. About 20 years after Reason’s return visit to Wolfsville the Black Rock Road was built across the mountain toward Hagerstown, passing to the northside of Black Rock. This was in 1876 while Wolfsville’sDaniel Biser was a County Commissioner.About four years later Jacob Drill Wolfe built a hotel at Black Rock Spring. Both this hotel andthe second “Black Rock House” built a
