I am always glad to see anyone stand up and say publicly that they believe in Jesus Christ. Apparently that is true for Brit Hume and I applaud him. He unashamedly says that he meant what he said. I hope that all of us can be so bold with our faith. In the environment where Mr. Hume works I am sure that it is not politically expedient to speak like He did, but he did.

More details on what Ethan Howeth will be going through
Please be praying for the Howeth family!
Ethan Howeth will have surgery this week. You may be wondering what will be happening. I know that you love him and pray for him and the entire Howeth family. Mrs. Stacey just sent me this link. It will let you know what he will be going through this week and over the next few months.
Here are a few excerpts from the page and you can click here and read the rest.
What are they used for?
They are used to lengthen and/or thicken bone and to correct deformity such as clubfoot by altering the position of bones and soft tissue. Frames are also used to repair fractures, especially ‘non-union’ fractures where the fractured bone doesn’t meet.
The bone is cut around the outside, leaving the central core containing the marrow intact. This is known as a corticotomy. A series of metal circular rings are placed around the area to be treated. The rings are attached to the bone at intervals by wires. The rings are connected to each other by rods which contain screws or nuts. By adjusting the screws a small amount each day, the rings are gradually moved apart from each other for lengthening or in a certain direction for correction of the angle of growth.
The treatment lasts several months and will be a massive commitment for all members of the family, and you are bound to have ups and downs during this time. Try and keep things as normal as possible for all the family. Take care of yourself, getting rest and short breaks when you can. Do whatever you know helps you to stay well and focussed, as you will have to call on your resources over a long time. If friends and relatives offer to help, take advantage of this to keep housework ticking over and other children cared for, so that you can spend your time with your family or have time to yourself. If you think it would help to speak to another parent whose child has been through similar treatment, the steps family contact register should be able to put you in touch with someone.
Judson’s hunger to get the gospel to the world
The following quote is from A memoir of the life and labors of the Rev. Adoniram Judson (Francis Wayland)
How I want to see this degree of hunger to get the gospel to the world at Vision Baptist Church among our people. How I want to see my friends so hungry to get the gospel to the world.
‘ O that we could enter at a thousand gates, that every limb were a tongue, and every tongue a trumpet, to spread the gospel sound! The man of Macedonia cries, Come over and help us. This voice is heard from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.’
Leadership quotes
The following quotes are from Spiritual Leadership: Principles of Excellence for Every Believer (J.Oswald Sanders). You should read this book several times.
The spiritual leader cannot have money in his eyes when service beckons. Do not work as one “greedy for money,” Peter warns (1 Peter 5:2).
Paul Rees suggests that the greed Peter warns against extends beyond money to fame and prestige, which are sometimes a more insidious temptation.
“I am not sure which of the two occupies the lower sphere, he who hungers for money or he who thirsts for applause,” wrote J. H. Jowett.
The Christian leader must not be dictatorial. “Not lording it over those entrusted to you” (1 Peter 5:3).
The leader must be clothed “with humility” (1 Peter 5:5).
Jesus placed disciples into internships (Luke 10:17–24) that enabled them to learn through failure and success (Mark 9:14–29).
Professor G. Warneck described Hudson Taylor, the missionary pioneer to China: “A man full of faith and the Holy Ghost, of entire surrender to God and His call, of great self-denial, heartfelt compassion, rare poser in prayer, marvelous organizing faculty, indefatigable perseverance, and of astounding influence with men, and withal of childlike simplicity himself.”2
Before we can conquer the world, we must first conquer the self.
A leader is a person who has learned to obey a discipline imposed from without, and has then taken on a more rigorous discipline from within. Those who rebel against authority and scorn self-discipline—who shirk the rigors and turn from the sacrifices—do not qualify to lead. Many who drop out of ministry are sufficiently gifted, but have large areas of life floating free from the Holy Spirit’s control. Lazy and disorganized people never rise to true leadership. Many who aspire to leadership
