Tuesday Top Ten

Good evening, folks.  Quite a day.  It's really amazing that we are getting to be a part of something our children's children will learn about in history.  To be honest, I think the amazing part about this historical event is that it has to be such a big deal.  That it ever had to be a big deal because there was a time in history where people actually thought they were better than other people simply because of the color of their skin.  That people had to give their lives just to fight for the equality and dignity they were already entitled to.   It should have never been an issue to start with. That period of time is something I will never be able to comprehend or wrap my mind around.   How it must have broken the heart of God into a million pieces.  So, praise the Lord the times have changed and we're in a new day.  I guess I just had a sad moment today in the midst of all the celebration that it has been such a long, hard road to get here.  At the same time I am very thankful and glad. 

Thinking about big voices, history and such, I have been thinking about some of my favorite people representing the kingdom of God.  There are way too many for a top ten, but here's a sampling:

Ten of My Favorite Voices Currently Speaking Kingdom Language: (in no particular order)

1. My husband (okay that one was in order :)  ) 
2. Joyce Meyer
   
3. John Bevere
4. Lisa Bevere (starting her book Nurture and I can already tell it's going to be amazing)
5. Duane Sheriff  (the source of a lot of my husband's inspiration and influence as a teacher)
6. Darlene Zschech (my hero)
7. Tommy Nelson (the author of the Song of Solomon series we teach and are doing in church right now- so thankful for his kingdom impact on marriages and relationships)
8. Beth Moore
9. Joel Houston
10. Steve Murrell (one of the founders of Every Nation- I follow his blog and he is where I got the Tuesday Top Ten from)

And of course our very own Pastor Jimmy.  Have to give that shout out because ten came really fast.  Praise God for all of the amazing people out there bringing the kingdom and inspiring us every day.  

Love to ya peeps.
