Happy 2025! It’s great to see the LORD’s faithfulness extended to us in so many ways as we turn the page on the calendar.

Updates as of 1/3/2024

PARENTAL SADNESS AND REJOICING

Mindi’s parents have been living with us since mid-October and have settled in nicely. But the main reason for them coming to be in our home is manifesting itself more every day - her mother (Becky) suffers from end-stage coronary artery disease. She’s having more chest pains all the time, treated with “nitro” and it doesn’t always work as effectively as it used to.

On New Year’s Eve we had an appointment with a nurse and she was admitted to a local non-profit hospice program. At 82 years old, there is nothing to be done for her except keep her comfortable.

Mindi’s sister arrives today and her nephew and his new wife are already here. Our youngest daughter Faith is coming to visit on Saturday. All the grandkids have been taking turns, calling their Mammy to check in with her.

It’s a sad time, but also one full of hope and glory. The promise of new life and resurrection life are real and true. All of us - including Becky - anticipate Jesus’ promises becoming sight for her in a short time. It could be months, or days. Nobody knows but the LORD, and He is faithful.

Please join us in prayer that all of us will rest in God’s timing and the reality of what He has in store for us as a family.

MORNING MINDSET AUDIENCE

The number of people who listen to the Morning Mindset typically jumps at the beginning of the year - New Year’s resolutions, new habits, etc. are usually the contributing factor. We are seeing a slight jump in listeners already.

I’m also still prayerfully considering whether we should begin a Spanish version of the podcast. I get questions about Spanish resources similar to the Morning Mindset fairly often. The technology is available to translate the existing podcast in an “on-demand” sort of way into Spanish, but it is a hefty monthly expense to do so.

Ask the LORD to spread His message further in 2025, showing us how we can do that and exposing more people to the truth expressed daily through the Morning Mindset!

A RECENT LISTENER STORY

I started listening to your podcast in October 2021 and have listened to all of your episodes since. I had been reading "A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23" by Phillip Keller in October and was really trying to get my devotional life uplifted and wanted to serve God and be closer to Him. I wanted to set a better example as well to my wife, 3 children and those around me in my everyday walk. In the book, Keller was talking about the sheep getting the morning dew off the grass and this is how they stayed hydrated. I realized that I need to amp this up in my life as well. I started running at 5:00 am and listening to your Podcast on my run and this turned into me now reading the Bible every morning at 5:00 am and then I listen to you on the way to work (1 hour commute). I can't tell you how much of a blessing you have been to me and truly thank God for how the Spirit indwells you to share His word and provide His messages to us listeners. Just wanted to say thank you and I have been sharing with my friends/family in hopes that they will get that morning dew with you as well! You have family in West Virginia!

You are a part of this kind of impact… your prayers make a huge difference, so…

DON’T STOP PRAYING!
