IT’S ABOUT THE RECEIVER…

Successful member missionary work is all about the other person.  A recent flight experience I’m calling “It’s about the receiver” illustrates that very well. It’s About the Receiver First of all, I flew from Washington DC to Salt Lake City, Utah recently.  As is the case with Frontier Airlines, the flight stopped in Denver. On […]

JOY AT THE LOADING DOCK

You never know what’s going to happen at a loading dock. A church organization recently asked us to remove a vending machine from their cafeteria.  Because it was still working, we put it up for sale on Craig’sList. A wonderful guy from a Baptist church in Temple Hills, Maryland contacted us about it.  We had […]

JOY AT THE METHODIST CHURCH

I was excited to return to the North Bethesda United Methodist Church today to hear an organ recital from Hector Olivera, an internationally-acclaimed organist.  The recital was celebrating the installation of the new Allen Organ at the church.  Our ward did a service project for NBUMC four months ago where 30 of us spent a […]

JOY WITH THE PIZZA DELIVERY GUY

Last night I finished a busy but rewarding week of work.  As I was driving home on the freeway I decided to reward myself by buying a pizza.  When I checked my Papa John’s phone app I delightfully discovered that I had qualified for a free pizza.  That made the idea even better. I ordered […]

This morning a man came by my storage unit to purchase a bicycle I had for sale. All went well and he bought the bike. I then asked him a favor: could he take me over by our church to pick up a car I had to leave there the day before? He said he […]

JOY AT MCDONALD’S

While doing a hauling job in Bethesda, my buddy and I stopped at McDonald’s for lunch.  I was third in line. There’s More To It Than Lunch I happened to turn to my right and saw the white van in the parking lot pictured here: The thing that caught my eye was the license plate […]

JOY AFTER CHURCH

Jan. 25, 2015 After Church Yesterday after walking out of church, I was almost to my car when a young lady who was walking by my car started talking to me.  She said she had been invited to “that church” sometime in the past but hadn’t gone.  So I re-invited her. Then I told her […]

Joy at the Toll Booth

A Toll Booth Missionary Opportunity in 15 Seconds! I pulled up to the toll booth on the Dulles Access road yesterday on my way to Herndon, Va.  I couldn’t help but notice a small picture of Jesus sitting in the window facing me as I pulled up.  The artwork looked Mormonish, so I paid my […]
