“I have told you these things,

so that in me you may have peace.

In this world you will have trouble.

But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

~John 16:33, NIV~

Don Denton Family

Ok…..I need prayer more than ever.

Joshua fell here at home this afternoon, took him to the ER, he has a broken nose and a slight concussion. Arrived home with him about 9pm tonight. If his nose does not stop bleeding, I will be taking him back to the ER. Won’t know till swelling goes down if he will need surgery.

Don is not feeling well. He has become more fatigued over the past couple of days and he is somewhat congested. WE will see his doctor first thing tomorrow morning.

I feel like we are being attacked. I don’t understand why things keep happening.

Our sitter was here this afternoon and I was here too. I was trying to catch up on all my paper work for providers and insurance company. Josh was chasing a small ball in our den. It has a wood floor. Lauren was in the kitchen for a moment. It happened so fast. I could tell by his cry that something was broken.

Lauren, our wonderful sitter has been with us through everything. She is a precious blessing to us and she came to the ER with me this evening. Pray that she will get good rest tonight too.

I will be up with him every four hours checking is alertness.

Pray for me as I don’t “feel” like praying these days. It is really discouraging. I am discouraged to be honest.

I am asking that you all pray for resolve for Don. WE are hoping to get word this week about a specialist in ST. louis.

My sweet, sweet son just this morning cried not understanding why his daddy could not play with him. His little spirit is so discouraged too. WE just hugged and he cried and I too said, mommy is sad too. And daddy is sad too that he is not able to play with you the way he use to. We both just sat there on the floor and held onto each other. It crushes a mother’s heart to see her child like this. WE just have our moments and today was one of them.

Please continue to pray for us. WE so need it more than ever.

love

Diane


Annie Armstrong Easter Offering®

2009 National AAEO Goal: $65,000,000

Offering Overview

The Annie Armstrong Easter Offering® is much more than an offering envelope and an annual missions-giving emphasis. When people give to the offering, 100 percent of their gift will be transformed into missionary salaries and ministry supplies. Those missionaries and supplies will help others hear the message of Christ and respond in faith to His offer of salvation. Time and again our missionaries relate how the offering is their lifeblood. They know that behind each penny given, there is a Southern Baptist who believes in what they do and are affirming the need to equip them to share the gospel with those who need a Savior.

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” (Philippians 2:10).
Mike Benson, Editor
ONE SUMMER I had the privilege of hearing a concert on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C…
The orchestra was performing the 1812 Overture. At one point in it there was cannon fire. The cannons didn’t try to hit anything; they just fired “for effect.” It added drama and excitement to the overture.
I recall my days in the Marine Corps during WWII as a forward observer in an artillery unit. One of the pieces would fire a round, and I would observe where it landed in relationship to the target. I would then radio a message to raise or lower, go right or left. They would fire another round, and I would give new instructions. Finally, I would give the final instructions and call on them to fire “for effect.”
So it is in the parable of Jesus. The Pharisee was merely praying “for effect, ” as a means to impress. Jesus said, “He prayed thus with himself.” The publican, on the other hand, did business with God. He prayed for effect, to accomplish something. This is the kind of prayer we should offer to God. (LeRoy Eims)

“The prayer of a righteous man
is powerful and effective.”
~James 5:16~
Thank-you for praying. Your prayers mean so much to so many!
