It never crossed my mind that I would be denominated with a title like <em>producer<\/em> on my r\u00e9sum\u00e9. And it never would have happened without the generosity of giving readers like you. Folks who live out the words penned by St. James (2:14-17) two thousand years ago,<\/p>\n<p><em>What shall it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, but hath not works? Shall faith be able to save him? And if a brother or sister be naked, and want daily food: And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit? So faith also, if it have not works, is dead in itself.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Know what else it means? That\u2019s simple: I need to make some more rain for the project! And I\u2019m a beggar-thy-neighbor type, long on faith and prayer, but short on cash. But God will provide, and of that I am sure.
