It’s not always easy to participate in this transformation process.  It is very much like the story of the carrot, egg and coffee.  The thing is that we must remain vigilant in our recognition of the things we should be grateful for.  Gratitude is a powerful thing.  A few days back I began to really… Continue reading Who would have thought…

Through it all I have eaten more than my share of humble pie.  I have been put in places I never thought I would be and subjected myself to what otherwise I wouldn’t have allowed myself to be subjected to.  However, it is for a purpose above all purpose and I give myself freely to… Continue reading A Better Boss…

I have already begun to flip the switch and turn on the light.  God has spoken through me many times already.  One kid got hit so hard with the Word that he stopped dead in his tracks.  He said, “I want to get my life started, but this place is holding me back.”  Immediately I… Continue reading He really got his attention!

I interviewed for the position and was hired on the spot.  Now I am working with troubled teens again.  This time it is for drug rehabilitation instead of behavioral disorders, but the mission is much the same.  I’m there to show them love, give them hope and to strengthen their faith. And now abideth faith,… Continue reading The mission is the same…

I decided to give them a call to see if they had any openings.  Guess what?  They did.  In fact they said that someone had just left that day and asked me to come down for an interview.  What are the chances?  Maybe I should ask, “What are the chances without God?”

Several weeks before I had prayed for a similar position in which I could spend more time with my family.  Also, I asked Him to make it a place closer to home.  I figured why not be more specific.  After all, He is God!

My work was done there and God had prepared my next mission well in advance.  Prior to deciding to leave I was made to feel very uncomfortable by a director who showed me some inappropriate things on the internet.  I was so upset that once I left that day I called a place that I… Continue reading Time to go…

One day the kid who was writing the book came to me and said, “Ron.  I know God sent you hear for me.”  It’s funny because weeks prior I had suspected just that.  On my last day he came to me and said, “I know that He is sending you to help some other kids.” … Continue reading God sent you here for me.

This kid could hardly speak English properly let alone write, but let me tell you; his imagination and creativity is unlimited.  Soon he was up to about six chapters.  The cool thing was that his writing served a dual purpose as did the writing of the rest of the residents.  I was able to achieve… Continue reading God has used me to help the children.

Before you know it I was being approached every day by the teenage residents with poems, short stories and book chapters.  I began to work with them as much as I could at the home.  One resident, a former gang member, would give me a chapter every week and I would edit it for him… Continue reading He was so excited!
