<\/a>With a kind invitation from Taylor\u2019s wife Emma and a bit of coaxing from me, Jim came off the streets for a day and joined two families for a wonderful meal on Thanksgiving Day. We all want Jim to repent, get clean, and reconcile with the Father\u2026 but Thursday we were satisfied to sit together around the same table.<\/p>\nDriving back to the city Thursday afternoon, Jim shared this: \u201cI have a friend named Eric\u2026 a good guy, but he also struggles with addiction. One day I told him about my church\u2026 and he just broke down crying.\u201d The reality of God\u2019s people simply loving others without giving up\u2026 and without forgetting He first loved us\u2026 demonstrates more power than we will probably ever understand.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.\u201d Romans 5:6-8<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

<\/a>Both my brothers, my sister, and I joined my parents and many others Wednesday evening in Chattanooga for a meal of Thanksgiving. Sitting at my parents\u2019 table may be the most happy and secure place on earth. There, my Mom and Dad have demonstrated more of the Father\u2019s love than we will probably ever understand.<\/p>\n
