Hey Friends,
Thanks for stopping by for a visit! I hope you are having a good day.
I took a trip down memory lane last night. I am so glad that we have Blog archives! I begin to wonder what we were doing 10 years ago this week?
Well, we were in the midst of City Reach Phoenix. My trip down memory lane brought back lots of happy memories last night!
10 years ago yesterday, Dad wrote a very special post honoring an extremely special friend to our family! Pastor Scott Morris had taken time out of his extremely busy schedule to come be with us for the first tent revival of City Reach 2016.
Bro. Scott Morris caught Dad’s vision for City Reach. He bore the burden with us! His friendship and prayers helped us immenselyl always, but it was extra special during the year of City Reach.
Pastor Scott Morris is not only a friend, but The Morris Family adopted us. We are forever family!
10 years later, they are still our dearest friends and family. Our love for the Morris family is enormous! Words cannot adequately express our appreciation for them!
Mom and I have leaned heavily on their friendship for the last year and a half. We have walked this road of grief and transition together. It is amazing to have wonderful people like them in corner.
We love you, Bro. Scott and Sis. Kim! Thank you for the bottom. I'm on my heart for standingwith us always!
I can not say it like my Daddy could. He had away with words. I am going to let him finish up this post. Let's rewind to April 8, 2016.

The Mind-Boggling Gift of Friendship - Pastor Scott Morris
“ It is raining as I write this and the wind is blowing pretty good too. We had to put up two short sections of side walls during church Thursday because of the wind. I really hate to do that but we had to.
Otherwise we all would have swallowed a pound or two of dust. We did have a great service though. Thank you for praying for us.
It has been amazing to have Pastor Scott Morris with us for several days this week. He flew in Friday night and flew back home Thursday. He was here for the tent set up, Sunday morning service in the church and four services under the tent.
Bro Scott bought a ticket, took time away from his family, left his church and school for several days including a Sunday, to come out here and work like a mule. I knew Bro. Scott was my friend but all this is way beyond the bounds of mere friendship.
This is a mind-boggling gift of friendship. It is hard to believe that a man would love us so much, believe in us so much and love revival so much that he would do all this. What an amazing gift.
Words are cheap and there are lots of us that talk a good game. It is something much higher to walk the talk. We realize that we have been abundantly blessed when it comes to friends. Bro Scott's actions this week are living proof of that blessing.
Thank you Scott Morris for making our week so memorable. Thank you for caring for us. Thank you for helping to carry our vision. You have done many things to help promote City Reach but this week was one of the best.
Thank you as well to Sis. Kim, Regan and Rylee and the saints in Richton for loaning us your husband, father and Pastor. May God bless you for your sacrifice.
Thank the Lord for surrounding us with such friends as Scott Morris and the many, many others that would be here if you could at all. May God send revival to all of you for doing everything you can to promote revival here.
Here are a few pictures of my dear friend while here.
Thanks for reading.
