Anniverary
November 15, 2013
Twenty two years ago on this day Joy and I were married. We thank the Lord for these wonderful
years together but my how they have flown by. I remember a husband on his fiftieth anniversary
saying, "We became the people we had to become to make each other happy."
I feel we are doing that too and keeping God in the center of our relationship has made all the difference. We both feel we love each other far more today than we did 22 years ago.
"Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:8)

"She cried out to God."
November 12,2013
She was at her wits end. Freshly divorced, unemployed and depressed a friend invited her
to her son's fifth birthday party. Twenty minutes into the celebration she retreated from the
yard into the house. Kneeling next to the fireplace she cried out to God, "Give me a sign."
She rose and through her own tears she saw above the mantle a framed copy of "Footprints."
"Call on Me in your day of trouble and I will deliver you and you will give Me the glory."
(Psalm 50:15)

What is the Purpose of Life?
Nov.6,2013
Street Interviewer: "What is the purpose of life?"
Responses:
"Have fun, love answers." "Avoid Death." "Sex."
"There is no purpose." "Darned if I know."
Actually a Pharisee asked Jesus the same question.
His response, "Love you God with all your heart, with
all you soul and with all your mind. Love your neighbor
as yourself." (Matthew (22:37)

"Come, follow me."
November 5,2013
We were asked to pray for our pastors for 30 days and to leave our names
and addresses on a card and place it at the foot of a cross. God knows where
to find us. The cross is there so we can find God.
"Come take up the cross, and follow me." (Mark10:21)
