David Wainscott blessed the socks off of me at a Pastor’s Cluster Good Friday service here in Fresno last week. After considerable begging, pleading, and bribery (just exaggerating), he posted his message on his blog. I was especially stunned (of the shock and awe variety) by the story of Thomas Hauker from the 16th century.

The message is titled, "The Lord Be With You … Even When He’s Not." It touched me deeply and was profoundly timed by God to go straight to my heart. Thanks, Dave.

While we are at it, David presides over one of the coolest web empires in Christendom. The Third Day Fellowship site will take some time to explore, but it will be worth your while.

Blessed and challenged – what a combination!
