Saturday

“What man of you,

having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them,

does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness,

and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?”

~Luke 15:4, NKJV~

The VBS program was wonderful last night. The children were able to show their families the songs and Scriptures learned during the week. The average attendance was 205. Isn;t that wonderful?

The Sander’s baby did well with surgery. Thank you for praying.

Mike Lambert is having some heart issues and is facing surgery. Please keep him and his family in your prayers,

Don Denton

It has been one week since we have come back from St. Louis. Don is doing better this time coming home than from the last time. He just over the past couple days has shown some more improvement and that is such a good thing for all of us to see.

He continues to work hard at building his strength and endurance as well.

I on the other hand have a sinus infection. I went to the doctor today and I also will have an ultrasound on Monday of the abdomen/uterus. The doctor say it is enlarged.

Other than that we are doing pretty good.

Joshua is busy these days playing with friends. Joshua and I really hope to be in church on Sunday.

It is late. I will update soon.

Stir

I CARRY SOME coffee stir sticks around in my backpack because I want to remember that I need to be a stir stick…

I want to get into the lives of people and stir them up and help them reach their potential and become all God wants them to be.

Even though I’m over fifty, I believe the best years of my life are ahead of me. I’m not going to stand still and watch life go by.

What gets you up in the morning? What stirs your coffee? Do you have the initiative to attempt great things for God? You can create fire by striking a match, and, in the right environment, you could burn off the dried leaves and undergrowth for a whole forrest, removing the main tinder that lets forrest fires get out of hand and become terribly destructive. You small light could ignite a salutary flame that spreads across the country. But Satan does not want us to ignite the country–he wants to keep our little lights stuck in a container.

God wants us to initiate something, to become a stir stick. We don’t want to reach the ends of our lives and say, “What did I really do for the Kingdom? What did I do for my family? What did I do for my work? What did I do that echoes in eternity?” (Dan Erickson)

“And let us consider one another

in order to stir up love and good works.”

Hebrews 10:24

I hope the list of things you have done is long so you won’t have to even wonder for a second what you have done for God’s kingdom. We want it to grow!
