Feeding on the Right Food

Feeding on the Right Food

By Mark Henslee / August 4, 2023 /

I like meat.  Meat and potatoes or rice, supplemented with a few vegetables for color.  If there is no meat, it does not qualify as a meal in my opinion. Growing up, my mom would plan meals around the meat.  For example, if grilled chicken was the meat, then she would plan sides to complement…

Treasures in Deep Relationships

By Mark Henslee / July 14, 2023 /

We recently visited some friends.  Towards the beginning of the visit, our hosts were wanting to plan lots of activities.  They love to share their home and the many incredible things that are nearby.  It’s fun to do new things and experience God’s creation in their area of the country.   As great as the exploring…

Two Are Better Than One

By Mark Henslee / June 23, 2023 /

We got a new air conditioner for the ministry’s fifth wheel trailer that we’ve called home for a while.  The unit weighs about 100 pounds.  Light enough that I can pick it up and move it around, but heavy enough that I can’t pick it up very high.  That’s where the issue came in.  I…

The Father’s Heart

By Mark Henslee / January 20, 2023 /

In my life’s journey, I’m continually learning and growing.  One of the areas that I’ve been developing in is gaining a better understanding of Father God’s heart for His children.  He has an enormous heart of love for all of His kids.  Through our work with ministers and exposure to various church bodies, I’ve cried…

Where Are All The Lights

By Dallas Henslee / December 30, 2022 /

 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may…

Running Right Requires Regeneration

By Mark Henslee / October 21, 2022 /

We were driving down the interstate, having just crossed from Colorado into Kansas shortly before five on a Friday afternoon.  Suddenly, we lost power and started blowing smoke out of the tailpipe.  My initial thought was, “Oh no! I’ve got to get safely to the side of the road.”  The words that came out of…

An Emotional Elijah Experience

By Dallas Henslee / September 2, 2022 /

When I was younger, we used to say, “Rain, rain, go away.  Come again another day.”  Of course, if we could keep sending the rain away because it was inconvenient, there would be catastrophic results. Elijah’s story Consider the story in 1 Kings 17-19.  The rain stopped and would not return until Elijah commanded it…

Step By Step I Follow

By Mark Henslee / August 12, 2022 /

There’s a Rich Mullins song, “Sometimes by Step”, that I often get running in my head on my journey with God.  Part of the chorus says, “Step by step You’ll lead me, and I will follow You all of my days.”  This describes much of our life.  We don’t know too many steps ahead, sometimes…

When A Blowout is an Answer to Prayer

By Mark Henslee / May 13, 2022 /

Many refer to April 1st as April Fool’s Day and plan practical, and sometimes not so practical, jokes and pranks.  We prefer to think of it as just another day in our journey with the Lord.  This April 1st, we were closing up the trailer and starting our several thousand mile trek across the country. …
