Thursday

“Or what man is there among you who,

if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,

how much more will your Father who is in heaven

give good things to those who ask Him!”

~Matthew 7:9-11~

Thank you, God, for the rain! Of course, You knew how much we needed it!

Mrs. Ferrie Gene Blackmon is home and recovering.  Please keep her in your prayers.

Mt. Nebo had 117 in VBS last night.  Keep up the good work for the Lord and for the precious children.

Pray for the students who will be taking LEAP and GEE tests between now and next Tuesday.

Jimmy Schwartz was able to be at church without his walker Sunday.  Pray he continues to improve.  Pray he doesn’t have any additional health issues while Ruby is on the mission trip.

Elizabeth H. Cooper continues to improve,  but will require more plastic surgery.  Pray for her as she goes through this long process step-by-step.  Thank God that her injuries were not any greater than they were.

Pray for Mrs. Hellen Morris and Lauree Titus as they continue to deal with back problems.

Continue to pray for Mrs. Blanch Wheat, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Williams, and Mrs. Faye Price.

Remember the Canada Mission Team today.

Lost

IN 1937, AMELIA Earhart set out on a 29,000-mile flight around the world…

With only 7,000 miles remaining, she took off from Lae, New Guinea, in search of Howland Island, 2,556 miles distant in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Her last radio reports were received by the Coast Guard Cutter Itasca positioned just offshore the mile-and-a-half long island. At 7:42 a.m., the ship picked up the message, “WE must be on you, but we cannot see you. Fuel is running low. Been unable to reach you by radio. We are flying at 1,000 feet.” One hour later they heard the final words, “We are running north and south.” Rescue efforts commenced immediately, but the $4,000,000 operation covering 250,000 square miles ended in disappointment. Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were lost at sea.

Spiritual lostness involves a dangerous disorientation of the spirit. When a person is lost, it means he has lost touch with truth and reality. Important values have vanished from his radar screen. He is misguided in his beliefs and off course in his behavior. Lostness is losing one’s way in life, morally, ethically and spiritually. And unless one repents, the repercussions are everlasting. (Aubrey Johnson)

“For what advantage is it to a man if he gains the whole world,

and is himself destroyed or lost?”

~Luke 9:25~
