This is where we will categorize our general blog posts.
Connor is the Man
A dear friend of ours, Connor Cruse was healed of his 5 year fight with cancer on July 10th. He was 9 years old when God healed him on ‘the other side.’
He complained of a stomach ache 5 years ago and within 6 hours of that moment his parents were told “your son has Stage 4 Neuroblastoma and will not live very long.”
Connor has fought like the most valiant of all warriors. He has encouraged more men, dads, wives, mothers, kids, pastors, elderly than I will ever dream of. He has routinely stared death in the face and said, “Have courage and believe in Jesus.”
For many of us, whether we have been rejected too many times, bored with life, given up on God, lost hope in anything truly fulfilling, Connor has represented the Great Hope of Revelation 21:4-5. God is on His Throne and will make all things new!
This is the hope that every Christian should be holding onto. This world is not our home and we should not hold onto our health or anything so tightly. This is our time to live for Christ. In Matt Chandler’s new series on Philippians, he communicates this brilliantly. Paul could say to Live is Christ, that is the only reason we are not saved and then swept away, and to Die is gain. Heaven, no tears, no pain, no cancer, no understanding how the Cruse’s could lose their son at 9 years old, none of that.
All good, all joy, all the time. Now that is worth living and dying for. Thank you God for giving us that HOPE.

Pardon Our Dust
Getting a new website is like building a new house. Once the house is complete it seems that there are an unlimited number of things to touch up and decorate. We are definitely still touching up this website and adding new content to make it the best site for our audience. A site where things are easy to find and enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by and we hope to see you again soon!
Song of Solomon is Growing Up
I am not opposed to change, I guess, maybe just a bit slow. We are calling the Summer of 09 the Summer of Change for us here at SOS Bible Resources. We have been using a software for our backoffice that has been a home grown tool for about 10 years and have been a bit ‘held captive’ by it.
Not Anymore! With the help of two amazing dudes, Rob ‘Airborne’ Baugh and Eddie ‘EZ’ Renz we are going for it. They have both been telling me for about 18 months, blog Doug, and I have said you got to be kidding me. See, not stupid, just slow.
So, here we go. Embracing technology and how it can change our lives for the better, and like any good thing, not for the worse. You do know the definition of addiction don’t you. If a little bit of something is good, then a little bit more is better, and if a little bit more is better than a lot more is even better and so on. So, blog, tweet, face, tube and then go ride your bike outside and spend time with your homies.
So, that’s enough for now, but here we Grow at SOS and thanks for growing with us.
Bless you, Doug Hudson
