Another junkyard story......

Some time ago, about 2004 The LORD led us to a junkyard on highway 15. When we looked around the junkyard we found 8 people in various stages of transition living there some in an old camper, some in a school bus, some in a car. The LORD instantly went to work both on us and the folks living there. I look back over the past few years in the junkyard and I can't help but think of that place as a schoolroom. It seems to me that God himself taught Jason and I so much in that place. We were able to minister, help, and befriend all of those folks during those years. They became our friends and we became theirs. As I look back I can't think of one time when we were in the junkyard that we did not learn something profound about God and His grace. Every time we were able to give something to those folks we got something back usually a profound lesson.

How could it be? That God would lead us to a junkyard to teach us such lessons. I can't think of another place that we could have been taught the lessons in such a "hands on way". Think about it…what we miss when we don't follow His instructions…What if we had not gone to the junkyard?

I am happy to report that today the population of the junkyard is "O" They all have moved on and I think they all in are in a better condition that they were. During that time in the junkyard we saw blessings flow like a river. We were able to be present when 4 of them made that decision to ask Christ in to their lives. Salvation came to 4 of them in that place
