There is a great story about a young man named lopez lomong.  He is currently on the USA Olympic team getting ready to compete in Beijing.  He has a great story about where he grew up in Sudan, then kidnapped and removed from his family and not seeing them for almost 15+ years.  To heading to the United States by the grace of God with a Catholic Church sponsored adoption.  You must read this story to truly appreciate it. I heard it on HBO’s sports segment they have once a month and Bryant Gumbel spoke on it.  I was truly touched by his personal story and must share this with you as it’s not a story to keep buried in the other slime news that is not as worthy for sure.

I can relate to his story because I know that I was lost and now found.  I hope that he Lopez will be more outspoken about his faith the older her gets and bring glory to Him for what he is and has now, as I sure do!

I am sponsoring my nephew Jordan this weekend for his first Chrysalis experience.  I am really excited for him and hope that he will draw closer to Christ as well as the other youth do as well.  Please be in prayer for them y’all. 

He is a good young man, but has yet to really experience God in a way that can move him and I think this weekend will really give him a vivid and tangible way of seeing that.  That is my prayer and hope and ask for your prayers for all of them as well.

We’ll see how it went for him when I pick him up this Sunday.

Blessings!
