Tonight I've watched with rapt attention the news about the city of Ferguson, Missouri. Seeing the destruction and fires is breaking my heart. This city hugely blessed me in my younger years.
As a teenager, I lived and worked in the Ferguson area during the summer. My life was forever affected by the ministry of Pastor Bob Werner at First Baptist Church of Ferguson.
He poured his life into us young bucks. To him we mattered. I look back on those days as being profoundly significant in my spiritual development.
Ferguson blessed me. Now I pray God will bless Ferguson.
