I published my first Kindle edition this week. I was inspired by doing some Matthew 25 work in Santa Maria a couple of Sundays ago. We were feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and providing shelter for those who otherwise would not have had a roof over their heads. I wrote about that experience and then compiled the rest of what I have written over the last 10 years or so about reaching out and being the “church in service.”

The name of the book is No One Turns Down the Blessing [simple church planting] by Charlie Wear. You can find it in the Kindle Store by searching “Charlie Wear.” I hope you enjoy reading it!

Early morning at the Lancaster Denny’s

I have an important appearance in family law court this morning. Lancaster, CA is about 95 miles from my home in Rancho Belago, CA (the 92555 zip code of Moreno Valley, CA near Riverside). In the morning it seems to take about two hours to get here. At 2 a.m. it’s only about an hour and 20 minutes.

I know that is not an explanation for leaving the house at 2 a.m. for an appearance at 8.30 a.m. Let’s just say that I have a hard time sleeping in the early morning hours these days. It helps my writing rhythm but hurts my mid and late afternoons. A daily nap is required, for sure.

There is a child’s welfare at stake this morning. Protection is the watchword. It’s my job today. I know I can’t do it on my own. I need the empowerment beyond my own strength. And so I am praying, with understanding and in the Spirit. I have already begun to experience the presence of God. It’s no Benny Hinn meeting but it’s real and in my workplace. Today I will be an advocate for a mom and a little girl. I’m glad the Boss is on my side in this one.
