It was an interesting week after my dad died.  I flew in to spend the week with my mom and sisters.  And each night, for a week, at exactly  7:00PM, my mother would begin her narrative.  It was the story of her life.  Her way of coping with loss.

I'd always known my mom was an orphan and ultimately adopted-twice.  But it wasn't something she dwelt on or talked about.  It was one of those family "things"; part of the mysterious background as to why we only had grandparents on my dad's side of the family ...

In the days before heading off to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville (NRB), my prayer was, "Lord, give me patient obedience."  And He seemed to say back to me, "Ev, didn't we already cover that together?"

I'm usually obedient, but rarely patient.  So my prayer was in earnest.

I thought about it as I stood in a meeting area looking for some kind of appropriate bowl for marshmallows, thinking, "Lord, is this what you had in mind when You said, 'For such a time as this?'"  And I'm relatively sure His ...

"Thank you Anne for your faithful witness, for your marvelous model of living in the presence of God, sitting in His lap talking with our Father, and then obediently getting up, getting out there and applying the lessons He gives you."

"Thank you for those encouraging words, Anne."

"Thank you Anne for your beautiful words!"

"Thanks Anne--you always point me to The LORD."

One million.  That's not the square footage of the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville (it's only 600,000!).  One million refers to the number of Arab households that listen weekly to Christian programming provided by HCJB Global.  Those who attend tomorrow's "Morning Briefing" in Ambassador's Hospitality Suite will hear story after story of listeners and local programmers that represent that number.  Ron Cline of "Beyond the Call" and HCJB Global president Wayne Pederson are planning to share sensitive reports from activity in the Muslim world.

If you're unable to attend this session, or would like a ...

Coffee or tea?  We'll have both at NRB on Monday at 3:00 PM in Ambassador's Hospitality Suite (Presidential Boardroom A).  It's only part of the treat in store for those who gather for "Tea with the Briscoes" (that's Stuart, Jill and Pete!).  It's rare that all three "Telling the Truth" speakers are at NRB, so we're delighted to have them share about "proclaiming God's Word to a weary world" -- which they do every day with listeners!
