Regardless, I've found myself reading Proverbs 12 after this post and it's been quite helpful. To be quite honest, I've found myself coming to this portion of the Bible often for all kinds of reasons. It's a great passage that deals with many of the issues (usually stemming from laziness) that we all deal with. Thank you for the helpful reminder that I need to really "Get off my donkey"!

]]> Comment on What Vision Looks Like and How I Got there by @draeckensteijn http://www.heathmullikin.com/what-vision-looks-like-and-how-i-got-there/#comment-35 @draeckensteijn Wed, 09 Nov 2011 04:22:14 +0000 http://www.heathmullikin.com/?p=120#comment-35 Dear Heath, It was a joy reading this blog article you posted. A while back I received a follow request from you on Twitter. Since I have no connection to religion and my tweets are in the Dutch language most of the time, I normally would have declined. But.. Your ava made me check your profile and I read your tweets. That's when I discovered that there is more than meets the eye to you. So, I accepted and followed back. With no regrets, I must say :-) because your tweets are always enlightening and positive. Good energy, so to speak. After I saw your link to your blogpost, I decided to sit down and read. Now why would a bloke from the Netherlands want to read about a Church event across the pond? I don't know, but when I started reading, the story grabbed me. The good spirit and atmosphere depicted in Trunk or Treat reminds me of home. I grew up in a small village in the eastern part of the Netherlands. I was raised in a loving family and always found the way villagers cooperated very special. To be there for eachother. Do things together. Share joy, sorrow and pain. It all makes life rich. The effort you, your wife and the other people overthere took to work together is heart warming. 4000 people on the move to share the experience... That's quite something. I absolutely believe you when you would tell me you looked even more like Johnny Cash than the man himself ;-) As I said, I am a man of no religion. I hope you don't blame me for that. But I do respect religion and the people who believe. The Church communities that you brought together over there can be proud of their achievement. And so can you and your wife. I am looking forward to your next tweet, or your next blogposting. Best regards from the Netherlands and keep up the good work! Jan Dear Heath,

To me, that's what it's all about. You were raising awareness in your community about the gospel and your church. I pray there is a great harvest for you guys and many lives are transformed on that property! Thanks for the comment! Terry, that is a great story. To me, that’s what it’s all about.

We had the sale on the property and it was great to see people in our community and hear their imput about our mission in the rural area we serve. We didn't raise a lot, but at this point every little bit helps. And now some of the people in our neighborhood see us as more than an empty lot with a sign saying "Future Home of Lifeline Baptist Church."
