“When we went under the water,
we left the old country of sin behind;
when we came up out of the water,
we entered into the new country of grace
—a new life in a new land!
That’s what baptism into the life of Jesus means.”
~Romans 6:3 MSG~
VBS attendance Monday = 201! I look forward to the baptisms we will have after this week.
Adam Carter got his first wasp sting yesterday – on his right eye. Pray this doesn’t give him any problem.
My mother’s bruising continues to swell, but the pain in her face is gone. She does have lingering pain in the rib area and numbness on the top of her head. Please continue to pray for her.
Jennie’s family made the move yesterday. They camped out in the new apartment last night. Pray the furniture arrives on schedule today.

Doodlebug
THE ANT LION is a little insect whose larva (also called a doodlebug) lives in regions of dry or sandy soil…
It digs a pit about 2 inches deep and waits for ants to fall in. It is equipped with a highly sensitive alarm system that picks up the slightest vibration. A single grain of sand falling into its hole can activate it. Anchor-like appendages under its body enable it to grip the soil as it struggles with its victim. Even more remarkable is its complex mouth that forms a kind of “drinking straw,” ideal for sucking fluids. When an ant is trapped, the ant lion injects it with paralyzing drug and then with digestive juices that allows it to feed on its prey.
The eminent French zoologist Pierre-Paul Grasse says that Darwin’s theory of natural selection can’t explain the “avalanche of…chance occurrences” necessary for such a creature to evolve. Grasse’s research keeps pointing toward a Creator, even though he himself remains an unbeliever.
“O LORD, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your possessions.”
~Psm. 104:24~
