“Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” - Luke 3:11
Pabama: (Rhymes with Alabama) Def: A feeling that there is more. A desire to make a difference, to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Not willing to accept the current state of the world, and not wishing to point any fingers. The burning desire to improve, to fall and fail, to be picked up and try again. To prepare ourselves for eternity. To stand triumphant one day, only through Jesus, and hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

Now that's talking Turkey!

A story from a turkey dinner recipient last year:
(We have the potential to deliver 18 this year!)

''leaving the recipients feeling as if Jesus himself stopped by and dropped by groceries or money or clothing or whatever - in the middle of the night and they have no one to thank but Christ himself.  Last year when Melvin and I were at our worst place in hell, had lost our home and were living in a temporary rental house, we had no idea how we were going to feed our family the next meal, let alone Thanksgiving dinner.  One morning, Melvin was getting ready to leave for his job.  He opened our front door and yelled for me to come downstairs.  There, sitting on our porch was a bag full of canned food, stuffing mixes, pie fillings and a turkey.  There was single piece of paper attached to the bag that said, "For your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Matthew 6:8.
We fell to our knees and though we knew someone had to have put this bag on our porch, WHO? and HOW? 
We were left that morning with no one to thank and praise but the Lord our God in Heaven and we worshipped Him in all His glory right then and there.


Now THAT IS PABAMA!!!!
