Thoughts Along the Way

Thoughts on the interaction of God, people, truth, and our world

 

 Michael Armstrong

For over 25 years, I have been working in student ministry at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Working with college students has given me an opportunity to look at life from many different angles. I have also served as a track & field official for almost 20 years, working meets from high school through masters and local through international levels.

Makes My Heart Glad ...

Thoughts Along the Way

Some of the reasons that I love what I do ...

* Shelley, her heart for service, and her efforts in putting together a "service small group", as well as her and Samantha's leadership in the campus Habitat for Humanity chapter.

* All of those who give their Friday nights to run the 2:00 AM Grill - Brio, Travis, Erin, Becky, Woody, Joey, Bill, Thomas, Clarkie, Valerie, Lance, Eric, David, Kristin, Shelley, and others that I don't know about ('cause I'm not usually up at 2:00 AM). Last Friday night they served hamburgers and hot dogs to about 300 (mostly intoxicated) college students - sharing God's love in a practical way and starting conversations and relationships that can be bridges for the Gospel.

* Kristin, Felicia, Gilia, Brio, and others who fix lunch a couple of times each month for the Seven Hills Shelter.

Watching people take their faith and put it into practice in ways that touch the lives of people just makes my heart glad.

"Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16
