For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

Keep Debbie Miller in your thoughts and prayers today. She enters the hospital at 9:30 and has the pacemaker procedure at 11:30. Your prayer for Debbie and the family will be appreciated.

Written late last night:
Today is Monday, October 27th. Please pray for me, my sister Beth and my Dad. The time has come to remove life support and give my mother (Judy Carruth) over to God. The thoughts, prayers circles and calls over the last week have meant more than words can say. At the end of it all, there is a power greater than we are and we are leaning on his everlasting strength and guidance for as long as it takes. Thank you to all of you who have kept our family in your thoughs and prayers.

Thank you for all of your prayers. I am sure they have been answered in one way because I know he is in heaven. Please continue to pray for our family as we mourn our loss that we may find our way without him.

Thoughts from a young friend, Holly K:
Freedom from fear
This morning, during my devotional time, I was reading todays entry in “Voices of the Faithful” by Beth Moore. The story was about a village in Central Africa. They had put ash on the roads leading into and out of their village because they believed it kept out a demon that killed people. The verse for today was Hebrews 2:14-15 — “He himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage.”

Jesus frees us from the fear of death! Because he came to Earth and died, we have no reason to fear death. Please pray that the people of Africa would come to know that Jesus can free them from their fear of spirits and death. Pray that they would realize that through Jesus and a saving relationship with him, they have no reason to fear. Jesus tells us in John that he is the resurrection and the life and that if we believe in him we will never die!
