Title: A silient Ministry
Post by: TexMex on March 18, 2008, 01:30:00 PM: I want to share want happen to me on Sunday at church, but first I will explain.
I like to do chip carving and I carve crosses. Well the crosses I carve have gone to serval folks and as I explain to them I have not sold a cross because it seems the at or around the time I finish a crosses God tells me who gets it.

Well about a couple of weeks ago I started a crosse which I was not happy with so I modified it and thought it looked nice, here is a picture of it, it's 3x5 in.

Well sunday as I sat there waiting for the mass to start, I looked up to the alter and saw this

I think God gave me a message.

Here are a couple more I just finished and gone.

I've never sold one either, but the payback is great every time I see someone wearing one.Take care.

I would like to see one of your crosses.
I thought that it was pretty cool the way God told me I am doing a good thing, maybe it's just me

Thanks

Post by: Doc Nock on March 20, 2008, 01:40:00 PM: Don't doubt that "nudge" from within, Texmex. That would be the Holy Spirit in us all.

Just keep following that nudge and keep sharing your beautiful work. If you were to possibly get an extra one or two, I bet Terry would be proud to post them up on the St. Jude Auction!

They and prolly ole PENNA Moneky Ball's stuff would bless many who would receive. Maybe ole MB would want to donate one for the Auction, too!

Post by: TexMex on March 20, 2008, 02:00:00 PM: Doc, I have donated two for St. Jude's.
This was last years cross.

Thanks for the kind words.

Post by: Doc Nock on March 20, 2008, 09:20:00 PM: Can someone step in here and help MB out about where to make his donation...maybe TexMex.

Sorry I didn't remember TexMex,I was in the middle of some tough times last year and only got to participate as a cheerleader pretty much... that, TexMex and I can't remember what I had for LUNCH, let alone what was on St. Jude last year! :)

Hang tough, MB, someone will come along here shortly... I think the auction is sometime in May...but then with this bullet saturated sieve for a memory...

:eek: :banghead:

Post by: TexMex on March 21, 2008, 09:11:00 PM: MB, when the St Judes auction was going on I posted what I was donating in the St Judes Auction post and folks bit on the items and one of the admins kept track when the auction was over as to who won and I mailed to the winner after Tradgang recieved payment.

It is easy.
Good Luck and God Bless.
