I love this little clip from a message by John Piper. What a privilege we have to be heralds of the King of Kings!
Here is a link where you can get 40 free books for your Kindle by Pastor John Piper. I would start with this one; Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ.
Last weekend it was my privilidge to speak at a Men’s Retreat at Grace Adventures near Pentwater, Michigan on the west Michigan lakeshore. I drove up alone in Grenfell.
I spent the weekend in a nice A-frame cabin of my own. It was a great weekend. The chapel was full of enthusiastic men ready to sing and worship and eager to listen to the teaching of the Word. The food and fellowship were great, hearty breakfasts, full hot lunches, and steak for dinner on Saturday night.
My keynote talks were on Five Weapons to Use to Fight Sin. My workshop was on What Does it Mean to Be A Man. I sat in on a worship by Steve Prudhomme on storytelling which was sweet. He opened by quoting my book Sacred Stories and Strong Families.
The worship was led by Brian Campbell from Akron, Ohio. The retreat was organized by Rick Jansen
If you get a chance to attend a Grace Adventures experience you will be glad you did.
This is Brian Campbell

Got up this morning and, looking out on the beautiful fields still in the grey and brown of winter with a little dust of snow on the barn roof, I was thinking about when spring begins. Did you know that using the meteorological system the seasons are defined as:
Spring (March, April, May)
Summer (June, July, August)
Autumn (September, October, November)
Winter (December, January, February)
You can read up on that here and many other places around the reliable World-Wide-Web of useful information at your finger-tips.
Here on Bittersweet Farm we have officially adopted the clean, simple meteorological system to define the seasons. Somehow thinking of all of March as spring just psychologically shortens the winter and gives my spirit a helpful, hopeful lift.
