With Veteran's Day just behind us, I thought this would be the perfect time to let all of you know about a new outreach we just launched through 411God. It's called Hope for the Heroes and is specifically designed to reach at-risk military service men and women with a daily 1-minute phone call right from the Bible.
As I've recently learned more about the high suicide rates among current soldiers as well as veterans, I really believe Hope for the Heroes will bring hope and healing to men and women who are breaking apart inside because of what they've seen and experienced.
So, I'll let you check out the website where you can find more details. There's a video right on the homepage that I think will really grab you. Also, I'd love for you to share Hope for the Heroes with friends or family members. Or, if you're on Twitter, maybe you could tweet about it. If blogging and Facebook are more your style, post a link to the website (www.hopefortheheroes.com). We're all about getting the word out to as many people as possible (especially those with ties to the military). Thanks for taking time to check it out yourself too! Tami W.
P.S. Oh, and don't forget to read today's passage--Luke 8:4-39. As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts and questions.
**You may have noticed that the reading and questions in the email today were a repeat from Wednesday. Sorry about that!! It was a simple human error (happens to the best of us, right?). Perhaps you enjoyed Luke 7 again, round 2!! If you'd like the questions for today, you can find them on the Power Plan page.
Tami, this is my favorite passage in the Bible. To be frank, Jesus even says that if you don't understand this parable, you won't understand the other parables (Mark 4 version). I would encourage all of your readers to read this parable again and pray for wisdom in its understanding.
