Introductory Greeting--When Helping Hurts

Hi, if you are reading this it means that you found this blog!! Hallelujah. The first book we will blog on will be When Helping Hurts. I hope many of us will return often during the reading of that book to post thoughts of discovering, challenge as well as blog experiences of serving as the Lord leads us in that direction daily. Nothing is too small to share and this opportunity to share together in this way is a blessing for me. It is my longing and desire to grow in this area of serving the poor in my own community and around the world as Jesus has called me to do. This is a particularly timely beginning I believe in light of this week's events in Haiti. So, let's begin this adventure together!!! Next post from me I will be reading and responding back to you from Chapter 1 of the book. I think Nick and I may read it out loud to each other and then we can each blog our thoughts and discussion responses. I look forward so much to hearing from you and seeing as many of you as can come pick up the book and chat on Sunday after church.

  3. Cindy, thanks for dropping the book off at work. I just got done reading the introduction and like it already. I identify with the author as I am a grandaughter of no nonsense dutch immigrants and have been a member of conservative Christian Reformed and Presbyterian churches my entire life. I also am a bit weak on my demonology...Ruth
