Experiencing Peace, Unity, Community, Love, Hope & Everlasting Life Through Giving

Recently I visited Hephatha Lutheran Church for a Wednesday, Lent service and dinner.  I was exhausted let me tell you and committed.  During the service, we were invited to the front for prayer and pastor asked me to read a long time prayer from my childhood.  She recently emailed me, thanking me for coming and reading what she had placed in my hands.

The following is my responds to her email and the prayer.

What's interest me the most about last night, is that I absolutely love that pray. " Where there is doubt faith, disparity hope, darkness light, sadness Joy".

My favorite part is," O father, grant that I may not so seek so much to be consoled as to console.  To be understood as to understand.  To be loved as to love".  

You know pastor, sometimes I feel as if I have it all, the world in my hands. " For it is in Giving that we Receive, Forgive and be Forgiven".  

As you so cleverly once said, lets practice for eternity, here, WITH EACH OTHER on earth.

Thanks for the opportunity to give.

LORD MAKE ME AN INSTRUMENT OF YOUR PEACE.  
WHERE THERE IS HATRED, LET ME SO LOVE. 
WHERE THERE IS INJURY, PARDON,
WHERE THERE IS DOUBT, FAITH. 
WHERE THERE IS DISPARITY, HOPE.
WHERE THERE IS DARKNESS, LIGHT.
AND WHERE THERE IS SADNESS JOY.

OH DIVINE MASTER, 
GRANT THAT I MAY NO SO MUCH WANT TO BE CONSOLED AS TO CONSOLE.
TO BE UNDERSTOOD AS TO UNDERSTAND.
TO BE LOVED AS TO LOVE..
FOR IT IS IN GIVING THAT WE RECEIVE, 
IT IS IN PARDONING THAT WE ARE PARDONED.
AND IT IS TO DIE THAT WE ARE BORN INTO ETERNAL LIFE..
AMEN

Video post next week

Next week I will be post a video with my most recent updates and the adventures I've experienced over the past 3months.  I thank God for the many blessings bestowed upon me.  I also figured it would be faster and less stressful on the fingers this way, rather then typing out 3months worth of my journey lol. 

Sunday Oct. 2nd I will be leaving Milwaukee and moving to NYC; learning, teaching and playing Rugby.  I'm beyond excited for the opportunity and looking to grow PeppNation beyond the beliefs of a normal person (if you haven't noticed already, I'm not normal lol).  When did I get to Milwaukee you say?  Lots of great things to share, so tune in next week.

Culpepper's dreams and goals are reality and your's are too. 

DON'T BE NORMAL!
