Over the years John discovered that God had a different plan for his life - one he would never have imagined. John became part of the Walk Through the Bible ministries hoping to have a new career in taking the program to various churches. This past year John was directed and blessed to bring the Walk Through the Bible program to the Florida Prisons... as a volunteer program (unfunded).
John reminded us not to put God in a box. God will always open a door where He wants us to go. We just need to recognize that it may not be a high door, but a low door. In my words: it might not be a mighty ministry Cathedral door with golden trim but rather a lowly prison gate of bars.
John sang some good songs (lovely voice!) including this one which he wrote
and was made popular by the Gaither Band.

Verses for Today:
Proverbs 3:5-6 New International Version (NIV)
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
Thank you Brother Starnes for reminding us that we are on a journey and we should always allow God to be the guide! I'll be praying for you, your family and your ministries.
