I Still Dream the Dream

It was Oct 2002 when Steve Hill called me.  I’ll never forget the passion in his voice and the significance of his words.  “Daniel, I’m coming off the evangelistic field.  The Lord has spoken to me about starting a church in Dallas.” “My sheep need a fold” was what Pastor heard Jesus say.  The word[…]

I Miss My Pastor!

Tonight Jenna and I spent the better part of an hour discussing how we both miss our pastor and how we are so ready to hear the words – Cancer Free!  I miss my Pastor.  I miss hearing that strong voice he has for heralding the good news.  I miss seeing those piercing eyes that[…]
