I am definitely moved by this post. As Deacon of GECC (Graham Covenant) here in the northwest, we assist those whom cannot help themselves within our church membership; this was passed to me by my Pastor. As I have a non-profit (VocationStation.org) dedicated to assisting students and youth in their preparation for the market place they are heading toward, this program is doing the same just in different avenues.
Keep me in the loop.

Well, Herb, I am proof that more than two people made it to the end of this blog post. And I loved every minute of it. Beautiful. God’s hand is on you. But I’ve known this for decades. Nevertheless, who could have know back than all that would happen to this point. And who knows now what is yet to happen. Remember how we used to float about the term “may your tribe increase?” Well it has and it will. Love you.
Right, Mark. Who could have known?
Herb, I remember meeting you at that ISI conference in NH you refer to and spending time talking to you with Larry in the hotel lobby about New Commandment Men’s Ministries. To God be the Glory! As the wife of someone with physical disabilities I have desired to have a team adopt us for years since there are tasks around my house I simply cannot do. You are 100% right about the loneliness, too. Disability is isolating. On those extremely rare times someone has helped we are extremely grateful. You have no idea how needed your ministry is! God Bless you, brother.
I’m saddened to hear that you and Larry still don’t have a team! How I wish I could shake some sense into your church, Valerie.
Incredible Herb. I’m sitting in my deer stand in Wisconsin this morning. While reading your post, I became so emotional that I couldn’t see the screen! Don’t forget our Dec 9th podcast appointment. It will be great!
So many good memories, Chris. God has led us both in so many wonderful ways and continues to do so. But don’t blame me for missing a good shot!
