this morning before we headed down town to have our weekly breakfast with our homeless brothas and sistas we hooked up for prayer. well, while i was praying i had a thought ...."what if one of these guys that i may talk to today is right on the edge and ledge just waiting, hoping, and praying that something could change....that something could break? what if just one conversation, one handshake, or even one smile could be the very thing that pushes them right over the edge and ledge right into the depths of God's grace? what if todays their day of salvation?
so as cheezy as it may sound i began to pray that these biscuits today would be more than biscuits. that they would be God's grace extended toward them. you never know....they may be one biscuit away from experiencing the life God intends from them. might sound crazy but ask "Thadeus"(a guy from this morning) about those bisquits....he went over the edge today....he gave his life to JESUS. mmmmmmm biscuits of grace with a side of SALVATION. yeahya

You don't ever know, nor can you know by their reaction. It could be now, days later or years later, this day, something said, something felt, comes back to them and then, they are changed forever. The idea of seeds planted can never be lost to us. We have to plant, even if we never see the fruit, we must plant and trust God.
Your an inspiration! Rock on Mr. Tweeze.
That is very true. You never know how much the little things you do really impact people. I know that the words people say to me mean so much. I will think about someone's encouraging or discouraging words for days and maybe even weeks. Words and small things we do can make such a huge difference. Remember everything we do we should do it as if we're doing for God and do it to the best of our ability.(I totally stole Tweez's line.) That story really showed me that God can use anything to change lives.
Praise God! That's just awesome.

It is great to have found your blog. I cannot believe we chose the same blog name!!! That blew my mind. I bought the URLs StepToChrist.com net and org and RunToChrist.com net and org.
Here is the link that video. I also sent it via email to your HPC address.

that is so awesome Jason... I know you'll will find any way to bring someone to Christ...even bisquits
I think Pastor said something today the dovetails off your biscuit prayer, something about one brownie away from salvation or something like that. See...great minds think alike. I know, because even our blogs are named the same just spelled differently. God is like the best CEO on the planet he likes surrounding himself with the best and the brightest and you are that my man.
~Peace
