  Tim Tebow sure knows how to praise others. I guess he is so good at it because he has been doing it for quite awhile now. His highest praises always go to the Lord.

You remember ol' Ebenezer from "A Christmas Carol"? He was visited by several ghosts who gave him a glimpse of his past, his present, and his future.

  Believe It Before You See It

  I had a fresh reminder about prayer as I worked on my message for this weekend. The message is based on Matthew 8:5-13 where the centurion believed Jesus would grant his request even before he saw any evidence of the answered prayer.
