Plane tickets say I’m leaving the United States on June 19th and arriving in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India around 9:15pm three days later. On the way I get to visit Toronto, Dubai, and Mumbai. Looking forward to returning to the place that captured my heart so many years ago when I first went as an Agape Student. More on that here…
Thinking of the years between visits to MJC and I come up sorely lacking. Years of bad decisions. Years of my will not His. Years we’ll never get back. Time Time Time. Lost opportunity to serve Him more fully. SO.. learning from this I must turn my back on that past and move forward in faith to redeem the past with His future for me. My Game in the past few days has been unfocused and missing emphasis. Need laser focus on Him minute by minute. Heard an old song from the Doobie Brothers – Minute By Minute and the chorus really struck home for me. Verses nope but the chorus fits… Heard a jazz version and it helped my concentration on Him. Wanted to share it with you this morning and had a lot of trouble getting it to play on Amazon Music.. Then found a Youtube version by Brandon Heath that’s perfect.. Listen here if you wanna. Thanks Boss!
Philippians 4:1 says exactly how I am now, filled with anticipation to return and once again see fellow workers in Christ, last seen over a decade ago: “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters,[a] stay true to the Lord. I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work.”
Preparing…

Dear Tom,
Just read through three of your blogs….
I’m in tears.
John and I played some of the YouTube videos of the MJC
“A piece of our lives” still exists in MJC and will remain the same as long as God keeps us here in this planet.
Lots and lots of reminiscence …
Dr PP Job lived the title “Love in Action” and we are a witness to that.
I thank God for giving us that opportunity to be with Dr PP Job, in MJC for 12 years, from it’s inception. I am not sure we’ve done enough of what is required there. God forgive, for those we couldn’t do.
I’m sure our Master knows our availability to love in action.
One thing I very poignantly remember are the times (during Christmas) when I used to teach them atleast 4 songs each day. ….and the girls learnt them ‘ just like that’ and sang much better than my teaching …
Those sweet voices are still ‘heard’
Times have changed.
God hasn’t but
Neither do those sweet years at MJC
