Brothers, as I was leaving church tonight my pastor called me over to him.  
My first thought was, what have I done wrong now.  Shame on me!  He told me
that tonight an individual had given $5000.00 to our Royal Rangers.  $2500.00
was to go to helping boys who could not afford it with their uniforms and
camping fees.  The other was to go into our general fund.  I couldn't believe
it.  I said are you kidding me?  Then all I could do was stand, shake,
tremble, cry, and praise God!  In my spirit I had been feeling a desire to
start reaching out more to the needy boys of our community.  And now God has
given us the funds to do it. Now as Sr Commander I must share this vision to
the rest of our outpost.  
You know this is just the way God has worked over the past 7 years I have
been working in Rangers.  You see I get down every once and I while and God
uses different things to reach down and pull me back up.  Most times it is
just seeing us making a difference in one boy.  On another outing I saw one
of our Trailblazers smiling and laughing.  This was great because only a few
months earlier he spoke of suicide when he was depressed.  I can go on and on
but it is late.  God is so good!  God is so good!
