Wednesday

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

who comforts us in all our tribulation,

that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble.”

~2 Corinthians 1:3-4a, NKJV~

Thank-you to those who helped to provide or prepare lunch for the BCM (Baptist Collegient Ministries) at SLU today.  The meal will be at Noon.  Thanks to those going to share and to serve the food.  May this ministry be effective in drawing students into the BCM today.  I think a big pot of jambalaya cooking in front of the BCM will draw in a few extra students today.  Pray for Bro. Bucky as he shares God’s word today.

Mr. “Cete” Dillon will have another eye procedure Thursday in Mandeville.  Pray it is successful this time.  “Miss” Ruby is doing very well.  Thank-you for praying for her lately.

Eddie Keith Schwartz will have eye surgery Monday in Covington.  Please be in prayer for him.

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” Philippians 2:10
Mike Benson, Editor
MANY PEOPLE ARE looking for a sign from God…
They want to know for certain that God is there, that he really is who the Bible says he is.  They are willing to  believe in Him, but first they demand some sort of sign.  They say, “God, if you’re really there, show yourself to me!  Then I will believe in you!”
The truth is that God has given a sign.  It is a miraculous sign — the sign of the empty tomb. Jesus of Nazareth, also called Christ, claimed to be God’s Son.  His earthly life ended on a wooden cross outside Jerusalem.  The Bible says that His death paid the penalty for our sin.  Then Jesus was buried.  If he had remained in the tomb, there would be no sign that Jesus really is the Christ.  But in order to prove that sin is forgiven through the cross and that we can have fellowship with God forever, Jesus was raised from the dead.  His resurrection is the sign that Christianity is true — a sign recorded in Scripture and confirmed in historical accounts from many reliable eyewitnesses.  Philip Graham Ryken
“And while the crowds were thickly gathered together,
He began to say, ‘This is an evil generation.
It seeks a sign,
and no sign will be given to it
except the sign of Jonah the prophet.”
Luke 11:29
Thank-you for praying today.  Your prayers mean so much to many people!  Have a great day!

Tuesday

“O Lord, God of my salvation,

I have cried out day and night before You.

Let my prayer come before You;

incline Your ear to my cry.”

Psalm 88:1-2

Please add Harrell Sharkey to your prayer list.  He has been hospitalized with double pneumonia since Saturday.


Please pray for another one of my Texas cousins.  Micah is a young man in his twenties.  Last night, doctors determined he has a mass on the frontal lobe of his brain.  Your prayers are coveted for Micah.

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
(Luke 12.27 NRSV)


A pastor tells about a woman in his congregation. She is one of those over-committed types, always frantically busy, never stopping to catch her breath. “I’m too busy” is her constant cry. The pastor finally asked the woman, “How do you ever expect God to get hold of you if you never stand still?” It’s a good question.If I had my life to live over, I’d pick more daisies.
I’d try to make more mistakes next time.
I would be sillier than I have been this trip.
I would relax, I would limber up.
I know very few things I would take seriously.
I would take more trips, travel lighter.
I would be crazier. I would be less hygienic.
I would take more chances.
I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets.
I would eat more ice cream and less beets.
I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I am one of those people who live practically and sensibly and sanely, hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I have had my mad moments, And if I had it to do over again,
I’d have more of them.
Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many minutes ahead.
I have been one of those people who never go anywhere
Without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a gargle, a raincoat, and road map.
If I had my life to live over,
I would start barefooted earlier in the spring
and stay that way later in the fall.
I would ride more merry-go-rounds, and swing more.
I would do more water and sun-fun things.
I’d turn more somersaults, and roll in the grass, and go barefoot all over.
If I had my life to live over.
I’d spend more time at fun places.
I’d try to be more in touch with God and those I love.
I’d pray aloud more and not care what people think or expect of me.
I’d give more to me, and take more of you.
I’d just be me more and more….
Yes, I’d pick more daisies next time.


Dear God, help me to slow down and watch and share your daisies. Amen.

Ron Newhouse
