I just wanted to take a moment to share my heart. God has taken a foolish person and used him in a special way. I can take no credit for Clearcreek's great success at JBQ. I almost feel like God chose me because I was the worst example you could find. That's a joke by the way. (Kind of like reverse pride.) You name it I did it. I'm not proud of what I used to be or how I used to act, but God makes all things new through Christ.

    What God has done at Clearcreek is special. He just blessed and blessed and kept right on blessing right up to the end. The lessons God has given me has changed lives. I can't explain it, but it's like JBQ in overdrive. It has been a wonder to watch. 

       I can't remember one teacher, who taught me in grades 3rd through 6th. It hit me that maybe I was wasting my time. Then I ran into one of my old quizzers, who is now in college. She told me the JBQ lessons were lessons that she would carry with her for life. She could never forget the impact that they had and still have on her life. I thought I was going to jump out of my skin. What a thrill to know that God had used me to make such a difference in a child's life! I wanted to multiply what God had done.  My prayer was, "Please God open doors for me to share what you have done so others can do the same thing."  And He did open doors. I have taught coaches in 6 states and done my entire seminar twice. 

      In my heart it just was not enough. "God," I cried, " make a way for me to teach this to the entire country."  Who would have thought that the opportunity would come after I was no longer leading JBQ at Clearcreek? It all started with a simple e-mail and the ball got rolling.  In a matter of days Kentucky JBQ via Paul Markwell stepped up and offered to provide all the funds for a professional recording of my seminar. Talk about humbling! To think that Don Wade had been saving Kentucky JBQ money for years; not even knowing why he needed so much set aside. God knew, and I pray that God will touch a multitude of children because of one man's faithfulness.
