I am amazed at the beauty of life in this small town, the focus of the Lord being always constant and present. I am honored to know and meet the people in this space, filled with art, peace, color, revelation, prayer and a spirit that is speaking volumes to the individual, community, and world. The Lord and His goodness is always in the conversation here. its truly beautiful. The way faith and trust in Him is given here daily...gosh what an example for all of us. I am inspired and challenged.
The way Mama Kathy and Papa Beaver, even their kids, converse and then speak out in prayer and converse again, its like the conversation never ends or begins, God is constantly among it. He is ever present, He is in the kneeling of the knees, the bowing of the head, the laughing of the heart, the simple conversation, the heartache that makes us cry...He is always there with us. With the Brooks family, there is no boundary of when speaking to God happens and when speaking to me or others happen...it seems to flow endlessly. Giving glory to God is said whenever...church is life...life is shared, discovered...lived out in faith...humility, honesty...lived out in trust...its good.
I'm not trying to say life is perfect here or that they are better than anyone else...I just wanted to point out how grateful I am for their presence, their example to me. God is continually using them to speak truth in my life. Their ministry here and in Haiti is amazing (much ministries). God is ever so present in it because of their steadfast faith in His ability to use them. Its great to be with those that think we CAN change the world through the power and love of Christ our King.
I am blessed by them. Thank you Lord for the Brooks.

Hello from Papa Beaver.. Got your Rock...it is still sitting on the counter where you left it. I think it is just right to leave it there. to walk by and pick it up and remember, smile, listen, yep there it is the sound of laughter and the nice feeling of being loved. Ok, put it back down for someone else to pick up in minute. it is nice to still have you around. We are thankful for you!! "Beaver the Terrific"
