Pt 2: Trash to Treasure

My message was titled Peaks and Valleys and how God is with you through it all. When I was done, I told my wife, who was recording, to burn the tape. I stuttered through the message. I was so nervous my brain turn the lights off, and I forgot the message.

Pt 1: Trash to Treasure Story

On December 19, 2013, I had the opportunity to speak to the FCA high school multisport huddle, where I coached football and track. I was a volunteer coach from the corporate world with the desire to be a Christian motivational speaker.

How Great is God?

He parted the Red Sea.
He stopped the flow of water in the Jordan River during high tide.
He is the Biological Father of Jesus
He rose Jesus from the Dead on the 3rd Day.
He is everywhere at all times. He is never nowhere.

There is much more but chew on those.

As an experience preacher, speaker, coach, and friend, I've learned that during any speech or conversation, the listener tends to daydream about 30% of the time. But don't blame yourself entirely - listening is a challenging task that requires effort on the part of the listener.
