I left Seattle at 7:00 pm and flew to Vancouver, BC, and then after a 2 hour layover flew to Toranto and then after another 2 hour layover landed in Halifax at 11 am. Started the seminar that I am teaching at 7 pm tonight and now I am laying in my bed in a nice Motel watching the NBA championships between the Warriors and the Cavaliers. In spite of being really tired the first evening of the seminar went very well. People were blessed and it was very obvious that God was working in the lives of those that were there. I speak all day tomorrow and all day on Saturday and Sunday morning and then home. I am praying that God works through me and in the lives of those who are here. There are a lot of senior and retired people at the seminar who want God to use their life now that they aren’t working full time and who believe that devoting lots of time to prayer would be the best way to make their life count for eternity. Great group to teach.
I’ve been praying for you–will keep it up. Glad to hear it’s going well.

Dee,
I too pray for you daily! It has been 10 years since I attended my first Great Commandment Church Seminar at JBC and have to say that it was a turning point in getting serious about daily Bible reading and prayer. I still write out my goals every year.
Thank you for the invitation and missions trip to Sierra Leone. This November my wife and I will be back to Sierra Leone to visit the orphanage that we learned about and have been supporting since the 2011 JBC missions trip. I retired from the fire department two years ago and I want to use my last years to advance the kingdom of God. I get excited about helping the 26 children in the orphanage and the impact that we can have on their lives.
Please encourage the people in the Halifax seminar to not waste their retirement years doing meaningless activities that have no eternal value, but to use their days wisely.
