Taking the Limits Off
Since May I have been in an internal struggle believing God about the “exceeding, abundantly above all you can ask, think or imagine”. A friend of mine would say, “you have to take the limits off God”. As I tried to do it in my own strength, fear would set in…what if what I “ask, [...]
Imparting Wisdom
Man, I wish I had something exciting to say, something that will compel people to stop pointing fingers and get involved. Yesterday while doing my daily devotion I read this passage of scripture and I immediately thought of my families on the West End of San Antonio. This passage of scripture reminded me that not [...]
The Solution
The problem with poverty is that, haves and have nots alike, seem to believe that poverty and being “poor” is just about money and material possession. But it’s not. And if you served in the neighborhood in which we serve I believe that you’d also come to that conclusion, if you wanted to see [...]
It’s about Jesus!!
A friend wrote a blog this morning titled “Accept Your Calling” http://www.trihmfoundation.blogspot.com/ It reminded me that the journey of my life is Not about me…it’s about Jesus!!

Roll Models
This video was posted by Mr. Dante Jones the leader of our mentoring group for boys called Roll Models. This is what he said when posting on Facebook Sunday evening after serving on the West End… “From 3pm – 7pm (4 hours), I was able to see EVERYTHING he mentioned in this poem. From talking [...]
Sometimes you gotta remind yourself…
In spite of all the great things that you may see leaders do, we all struggle with fear, doubt, failure, and complacency, well…at least I do. So when I need a little reminder about who called me and what He called me to do I listen to this song by one of my favorite artists, [...]
Prayer and Fasting for Change
“So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer [...]
