Attending to the needs of the Lord, what He deems important for our lives, and what He wants to accomplish through our service to others, still matters in the world we live in.
There was so much I wanted to do and get done, but learning to live life with only one kidney was going to be an adjustment. After donating a kidney to my brother, I struggled in the recovery process because my energy levels were not the same as they once were.
At times, I became frustrated with myself because I would get tired in the middle of the day. As much as I wanted to keep going, my body would say, “Nope. It’s time for a nap.” I found myself battling discouragement because I couldn’t live up to the expectations I was placing on myself.
The frustration and discouragement were only compounded, living in an already life-draining world, with competing agendas vying for whatever time and energy I did have.
It was life in this context, that sparked a renewed interest in the Holy Spirit’s presence, strength and power for my daily life.
Moreover, I decided that if I was going to spend my time and energy on anything, as limited as it was, I needed to focus it on what God deemed important for my life—how I could best serve Him and serve others.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
