source New Item 12/06/14: ‘I Do It to Please God': Missouri Christian Cleans Up Ferguson Following Riots An excerpt:  Terrence asked God, "What can I do?" and this is the response he believed he got from the Lord. “It’s not just about white or black,” Williams stated. “It’s about all walks of life. I met people who wanted to shake my hand just to say thank you for cleaning up. I’ve met business owners that expressed to me how they felt… It’s just been an awesome experience and it’s just been amazing.” He outlined, however, that although he has received much applause for his service to the community, he only seeks to please an audience of one. “Everything that I do, I try to do it to please God,” Williams said. “Everything I do, I try to do it to make Him happy.” “Since I was a little kid, I always knew that my life had a calling,” he stated. “I want to be able to go out there and spread positive information and help those that may be in danger. So, from the ag...

Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving   [Kindle Edition] Eric Metaxas (Author) Print Price: $6.99 Kindle Price: $1.99  (save $5.00 off of regular Kindle price) My review:   A delightful and heart-breaking story about a child's journey from his peaceful tribe in what is now Massachusetts to being taken hostage and sold into slavery. Follow Squanto from those innocent early days in America to Spain where he is sold as a slave and then to England where he is able to return home. See God's providence in placing Squanto into the hands of Christians who treated him well and understood his desire to return home. Read how God used him back in his homeland to help settlers escaping persecution in Europe survive in an unfamiliar new land. A great Thanksgiving day read for you and your family. For those concerned about how it appears on the Kindle, I read it on my Kindle for PC with no problems. Everything was right where it belonged and the story flowed nicely.
