Monday

“Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray.

Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers,

letting God know your concerns.

Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness,

everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down.

It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry

at the center of your life.”

~Philippians 4:6–7 MSG~


From Jenni Henson, Maggie Lee’s mother:

Thank you for your continued prayers for our family. A very disturbed young man entered the sanctuary at fbc this am and started screaming,”

There is no such thing as God.” While John was front and center at the podium. Thankfully, he was not armed, but it was frightening to say the least to think about what could’ve happened.
Will Easley is doing we. He may get to move to a step-down unit today.  Keep praying.
We’ve been asked to pray for another young child: Adrianna Cavanagh.  Adrianna is in Childres’s Hospital in New Orleans and lives in Washington Parish.  She has stage four cancer.  Be sure to read the story and look at her beautiful pictures.
Several people have been hospitalized recently, are hospitalized now, or will be hospitalized soon.  Please pray for each by their group, not by name, today.
Private Matthew Wildes of Hammond was killed on Friday in Afghanistan.  Please pray for his family and for all those who continue to serve around the world to protect us.  When you see a young man or woman in a uniform, tell them thanks.  They volunteered to serve!  Also, thank vets as you get the opportunity.

On his eightieth birthday he went to the store and pulled the books from the shelf and began to compute his life. He was surprised to find that he had spent five of his eighty years waiting on customers. He had spent six months tying neckties, three months scolding children who had been running around the store, and eight days telling his dogs to lie down and be quiet.

Some stuff is pressing (i.e., urgent); some stuff is consequential (i.e., important). We need to learn to distinguish between the two and then act accordingly.

“So teach us to number our days,

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”

Psalm 90:12
