You have probably heard the term cotton mouth. I discovered cotton face at our staff and student small group Christmas party. They asked for volunteers, and my team volunteered me. Someone handed me a tub of Vaseline and instructed me to smear it on my face so that cotton balls would stick to it. So I lathered up. Whoever ended up with the biggest cotton ball beard would win. Each volunteer buried his slimy face in a mixing bowl full of cotton balls for thirty seconds. When the time was done, we took pictures and promptly emptied our Santa beards into bowls for counting. You never know what a day will hold. I didn't wake up Saturday morning thinking, "Tonight I'm going to be scrubbing petroleum jelly out of my beard." Most people don't. If you do, then you have a peculiar profession, or you are a very strange man. If you're a woman thinking that...then you should consider shaving it.
On Sunday, I went to Cedar Ridge, as usual. One of my friends there is finished with the program and will be leaving this week. He is halfway through reading "By This Name". Finding himself in the despair of the helplessness of the law, he can't wait for the end of the story. He has a court date soon and could use our prayers.

AuthorWe are normal people who believe that God would have us serve Him in Brazil. We are saddened by the existence of people who do not have access to the gospel due to their location and language. We want to live among such a people group and plant a church among them, shepherding the believers as they grow to maturity. Archives
