This morning, Kim Hunt and I were brainstorming gifts that we could buy for the Regal Cinema staff as a way of thanking them and building goodwill.

Today at our staff meeting Fred Kent said something in a way that really stuck. We were talking about the need to pray and try to discern what God has for us next. I commented that it would be great to have something to stretch our faith since God has proven himself time and again.
