– John Hinshaw (poem written prior to my grandma’s funeral yesterday February 28, 2012).
John 13:14, 17 ESV
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward.
Ruth 1:16 ESV
16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.17 Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.”
Romans 8:28 ESV
28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Missing HFC
Missing my home church this morning at HFC. I am praying for Jared and the worship team add they have the high honor of leading people every week in worship, may Go power be on them. I am praying for Gods Spirit to speak through Josiah as he brings the message from Hebrews 11 this morning. I am so thankful for my church! Have a great morning in worship!

The Voice Of The Redeemed
Psalm 107:1-2, 6-7 ESV
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
He led them by a straight way
till they reached a city to dwell in.
If you have been redeemed, then let your voice...

“Faith opens a way for the understanding, unbelief closes it.”

Wow…its 53 degrees in Haviland today, and its 51 in Upland, CA. I’ll take that!
We Are Engraved On His Palms And Not Forgotten
Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the Lord has comforted his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted.
But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me;
my Lord has forgotten me.”
“Can a woman forget her nursing child,
that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will...
A Couple of Nuggets On Running in Chandler, OK
1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV
9 But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has prepared for those who love him.
After watching the Denver nuggets get beat in overtime “live” in OKC last night I decided to run this morning while still in the Sooner state. “No eye had seen or heard” that Oklahoma had hills and...

Thinking about tomorrow.
How do you sum up a life in just a few minutes?
You don’t.
When they have lived the life…the story has been told.
Steve…you lived with determination and faithfulness to your call, and to your family.
Tomorrow your story will be told.

Steve Teter - Oct 1970 - Feb. 15, 2012
Church family and Friends,
Steve Teter was ushered into the presence of the Lord this morning at St. Francis Hospital in Wichita at 6:38 am. Please be in prayer for Trina, Joseph and extended family as they mourn.
You may already know that we have been challenged to pray at 6:33 am and 6:33 pm daily for Steve and Trina in reference to Matthew 6:33 – “But seek first the kingdom of God...
The one who conquers will have this heritage (heaven), and I will be his God and he will be my son.

The Grammys Don't Compare
And the grammy goes to?
That has been the news on twitter, Facebook, and the internet. Best album of the year, best artist, best new artist…and so on.
Personally, my vote goes to my church, our leadership, and the vision God has put in our hearts.
its such a blessing to work with such amazing people! From our childrens ministry, to youth, to adults, to music, to our fellowship, to...

Week 2 of February...LOVE is in the air
Do you remember that awkward moment of sifting through the little candy hearts at valentine’s day, wondering which one to give to Tammy Bell, or Kendra Dawson, or Cherie Wilcox, or more importantly Mrs. Soyez? Well, you wouldn’t know that awkward moment because those people weren’t in your life, but you can replace those names with your own and have the same story, I assume....

– Winn Slaven - Haviland, Kansas
Praying for my daughter, my wife, and a whole crew of students and adults who just left Haviland on a road trip for Oklahoma City for their annual Believe Conference.
Please join in with me and pray for safety on the road, and a move of God to encamp in their souls as they will be challenged to follow and believe God at deeper levels!
I praise God for Josiah and his staff!

Walking And Running With God
[9] Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
[10] Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
[11] Give us this day our daily bread,
[12] and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
[13] And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

20 Minutes Till Kick-off
I am pumped for tonight. There is a buzz in the church right now. The building smells like home-cookin from our amazing ladies in the kitchen. Kids are running around outside because it’s spring in February. Ladies are getting ready to go over a Beth Moore study at the pastor’s house (with my wife…not me, that would be awkward!). Men are getting fired up to meet and talk...
