Comments on: Julie’s letter http://mikeramsdell.com/2010/05/12/julies-letter/ The personal blog of Rev.

Few thoughts came to my mind as I heard you speak. 1. Some think they gotta have a bucket to drink. Which means they gotta prepare, clean up, make things just so-so (perfect) to receive God's blessings. 2. If you don't provide the effort to dip the bucket, you cannot be filled. There is a point one must choose to be vulnerable, and ask for God's help. 3. God's love is FREE - come w/ nothing and get something! This week I was getting my hair done and had an inspiring conversation w/ my hairdresser. She told me about The Truth Project and she was super excited about it! The one thing that really hit home from our conversation is that you can't reach the lost if you don't love them first. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the person who stands on the street corner trying to reach the lost, but I wonder if every christian took the time to show love, how much more real would Christ be and how many more folks we could reach?!! Thanks for the work you do - God bless! A comment on Sundays (5-16) message concerning the woman at the well. Few thoughts came to my mind as I heard you speak.
