I went to a luncheon at The River Oaks Country Club for a luncheon benefiting Archway Academy on Tuesday. I told my sponsor Scott I would split a table with him ($750), my plan was to invite several other people to share the cost. Well nobody showed up! I was bummed that lunch was going to cost me $750. That changed after 15 minutes of hearing testimonials from several of the students that had turned their lives around and are doing great at Archway. BTW, Archway is a sober high school for kids with substance abuse problems. They have an amazing success rate. Check them out at www.archwayacademy.org It was the best $750 lunch I have ever eaten (not the food, the cause)!

Transformation is already happening! I sent a draft of my book to my sister for her to review, and Karen, her childhood friend, read the book and decided to seek help. Karen has been struggling with drinking and drugs for many years, and reading the book caused her to look within. She didn’t like what she saw when she honestly looked at herself, and now she’s in treatment seeking help to transform her life. God is already working through the book, and it hasn’t even been published yet.

After I helped get Karen into treatment I thought about how inspiring and exciting it was to be a part of her new journey. I would like to hear more stories about exciting changes in peoples’ lives. Please send me a story of change and hope from you or a loved one.
