Grace- it's a Resounding Theme! (Or Why I Still Love Ty!)

I was saddened yesterday to learn that America's favorite carpenter, Ty Pennington had a brush with the LA police. It's old news, he apologized, he made a error in judgment (don;t we all at one time or another), and he said he's received a wake up call. That's all good. However, I was also angry. No, not at Ty, but at the enemy! It is just a ploy of his to discredit someone I believe is called by God!

In my book, Ty, despite his flaws, which we all have, is a pure gem. I pray him and I believe that God is working through him in a mighty way! Hold onto your noodles folks, but I believe Ty is a modern day Nehemiah. I also believe that despite the fact that he is going through a hard time, he is fulfilling part of God's destiny for His life.

I don't know if Ty has a personal relationship with Christ but I do know that I pray for him to if he doesn't.

Nehemiah rebuilt a city which impacted thousands of people and Ty is rebuilding homes in cities all over impacting thousands of people.

So as the world chooses to point out the thorn in his flesh, I choose to pray for this man and his vision. I choose to have grace and to love him in Christ because but for the grace of God, there go I- or you, or my neighbor, or my friend...

Grace, it seems to be a resounding theme for me lately! I'm not sure why, but thank God for it!
