Written from 43,000 feet, flight back to Dallas before a long drive back to Lindale, Texas.

It's been an eventful week. God has been so personal this week. I have been so impacted by Rick Joyner and Heidi & Roland Baker particularly. On Saturday night my sister sent me a txt message to my phone. I called her over Skype from the hotel room, and we spoke for over 2 hours, and most of that time about God. My sister is not a follower of Christ. My family are all drug users and/or drug dealers. My life is so vastly different to theirs it is often hard to relate. You, my reader, likely have no idea about my family background. My mother kicked me out of home at 7, and when I was put on a plane from New Zealand to Australia and handed back into her care at 14, she kept me just 3 days before kicking me out again. I then spent many years living on the streets. But God! Today no one would have the slightest idea of my history, and for the longest time I have not told people about it. Not due to any shame, but because of some reactions I have had from people who thought I was just seeking attention.

Anyway, my sister. She's all ears when it comes to God. She's seen what God has done to her brother, and she needs no convincing that God is real, or that she should follow Christ, the difficulty is she's afraid of what others might think of her. Please join me in prayer for her won't you. Her name is Naomi. My other sister, Theresa, Naomi's twin, is to be sentenced for running a drug house on Wednesday and will likely go to jail for some time. She has 2 kids and a heroine addiction. Hard to believe I bet. Sadly, it's true. It's not too hard to tell which one above is the heroin user is it! :(

On Sunday during worship though, God spoke to me, and told me clearly that He will redeem my family. I sent my niece, Emma, a Bible for her birthday. Foolishly, I never told her how to read it, and I guess I didn't think she even would. That was 3 weeks ago, and she's now half way through Exodus. She didn't know where to start, so she started at the beginning. I always start with Genesis when sharing the Gospel anyway, so it's just terrific. It gets better though. She is 14, and has a boyfriend who is a Christian. His brother is a Christian too, and in a Christian band. She's even going to Church every Sunday, though not being discipled at all. God IS redeeming my family. Quite amazing. My niece was only 9 here, but I have not seen them in 5 years.

Security at the airport today was ridiculous!

Ok, SORRY about the lack of podcast updates this week. I have received all your complaints. Radiant Worship has been the only updated recently, but they will all be updated and active within the next 24 hours. Time was the major factor. I was serving Winkie Pratney and running errands for other speakers and friends at the conference. Though I got plenty of sleep, I was thoroughly exhausted. I need a better game plan for updating the podcasts while I am on the road. And just remember, 99% of you are getting them all for free. Less than 1% of God's iPod listeners have made any contribution to this ministry. And if it's so important to you that you feel a need to complain when I am late, put your money where your mouth is. Or you can always unsubscribe! :)

Had dinner with Keith Green's daughter, Rebecca Green, last night. Never told her how much of an impact her dad has on me. I am sure she gets that all the time as I see with Winkie, so I just left it alone. Really nice girl though, really in love with the Lord. Was awesome to meet her.
