Gerald: Shining Bright!

• On this dark, frustrating, broken planet, I love bright Lights.  Listener, you are in for a treat!  Meet Gerald.  Was homeless, down and out and one of the most content people that I have ever met in my life!  Why do content?  Well, here you go...
• Thank you again Brother Gerald!  As we often say on this podcast, we are in the Hope and Encouragement business.  Getting Real.  Pursuing Truth.  Case in point, 1 Thes 5:11.  Avid listener, you know my favorite rhetorical questions.  Does this world need more Hope or hopelessness?  More Love or hate?  Jesus says Love is greatest of all.  Jesus speaks very highly of the poor and that for those that can to take care of them Matt 25:40.  So those that slam on Jesus, that is what you slam on.  And I know, some of you have been burned by hypocrites.  Many people that call themselves Christians aren't or they are not doing a very good job at the loving part...see Matt 22:36-40.  
• Cathy, Jade, Gerald, Jose, Linda, Matthew, Mike C, Z, Remmy, Gilbert, Gary, Jackie, Ryan, Kaite, Lori, Matthew, Patty and so many more that I could name.  The countless donors behind Overflowshowers.org, Spirit Filled Church Indio, Victory in Christ Church Indio, Templo Hermosa Coachella, Red Door La Quinta, Southwest Church Indian Wells, Martha's Kitchen Indio, Coachella Valley Rescue Mission, Our Lady of Gualdalupe Palm Springs, Ramona Tire Palm Desert, Dr. Vines, Nurse Peggy...and I'm just scratching the surface of Faithful servants and businesses striving to share Jesus and Hope and Love in the Coachella Valley of California.  
• As for you, if you complain about homelessness or California, speaking from personal experience that most likely means that is where God wants you to serve.  Too far?  Ok, how about then at least pick one of those organizations mentioned and donate.  Put your resources in motion that God has blessed you with to help address what concerns you the most.
• I love you.  God loves you way more. Just listen to Gerald.  He feels loved and shines Love...meanwhile others sit in their giant homes and contemplate their lives and wrestle depression.  Ironic indeed.  
• Ending on a song note, My Tribe by Blessing Offor, Gerald, Spirit Filled, Southwest and all those mentioned above our part of my tribe, your tribe too, if you so choose...give Blessing Offor some love, buy it, subscribe it, get KLove to play it!
