You have called to us in the need of our sisters and brothers, and we have passed unheeding on our way.

Today we will host the Big Canoe Chapel Scholarship Awards Service.
This ministry was initiated in 1982 with the goal of encouraging
high school students to attend college. Today is the 36th
successive year for this ceremony. Since its inception, over 2450
students have received awards totaling over $2,625,000. We thank
God for enabling this church to be a part of the educational dreams
of young people from Pickens and Dawson Counties. I hope you will
pray for these young people as they go forth to fulfill their
dreams.
In my brief address I share with the scholars, I will once again
remind them that they stand on the shoulders of giants. There are
parents, grandparents, siblings, teachers, and many others who have
guided and encouraged them along the way. Don’t you remember the
ones who guided and encouraged you? I’m especially reminded today
of those people in my past who lived out the gospel. They were
powerful witnesses to the grace and love of God. How blessed I am
that they were in my life!
Every day we are given the opportunity to be a giant in someone’s
life. You may not think of yourself as a giant but fully
surrendered to the power of the Holy Spirit you can be! It happens
in a number of ways. Sometimes it’s just a word at the right time.
Many times it’s a note or a phone call or a monetary gift. At other
times it may be something as simple as a lunch invitation and a
listening ear.
Let’s all ask God to give us such a sensitivity to the needs of
others that we will respond joyfully in the love of Jesus. By doing
so prayerfully, I suspect that one day someone will think of you as
a giant in their life. That’s a good way to be remembered.
In His joy and peace,
Len
delivered me from all my fears.”
Psalm 34:4
