Love. Love fervently. Love at all costs. Love like I do. Love extravagantly, not with careful measuring but with lavish abandon. I mean toward others, not just Me. For that is loving Me. That is what I want in exchange for the love I have given you.

In 2008, I, along with Pat McMurry, founded Love Columbia (formerly Love INC of Columbia) to promote interconnectedness and cooperation among local churches, particularly in their efforts to serve our neighbors in need. In 2010, when I lost most of my eye sight and then went totally blind in 2013, I made the following entry in my prayer journal:

"There arises another priest who has come not according to the law but according to the power of an endless life…" Hebrew 7:15-16, NKJV. Jesus came in the power of an endless life and has given all who believe in Him the same power.
