Never Under Estimate The Power….

People often ask Tim and me (Marilyn) how well the kids travel. Taking four children age eight and under halfway around the world must seem daunting to some, however we have a secret weapon–the lollipop. When they start to whine we pull out the lollis, and pop them in their mouths giving just enough distraction and sugar to make it through the next leg of the journey.

Unexpectedly, I’ve found myself playing nurse to the multiple scrapes and bruises the campers inevitably get along the way. After doctoring the wound, I give them a hug and a lollipop which calms the tears. Never underestimate the power of a lollipop.

Last Friday, I shared a message on John 11 with a moms’ (and a few dads) Bible study group at the Sonshine Center. The story of Lazarus wouldn’t have been my first choice, but that’s the text they asked me to use. A dozen people received the Lord. Over half a dozen came forward to be set free. Never underestimate the power of the Word.

Sunday afternoon, Tim noticed a woman with a crick in her neck. Analina had fallen off a water buffalo as a child, and lived with misalignment and pain for years. We layed hands on her neck, prayed, and physically felt her body realign. Never underestimate the power of prayer.

Never underestimate the Power.
