Monday

“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying,

‘I am the light of the world.

He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness,

but have the light of life.’”

~John 8:12, NKJV~

Chloe Neyland is back to being able to sit up.  Pray for her continued progress.

Mike Neyland’s health problem can be treated with medication.  Thank God that is all that was found.

Earlo LaBauve is now able to discontinue dialysis.  Thank God for his progress.

Smiley Conerly and Keith Allen are both seeing doctors for back issues.  Pray for their return to better health.

Jimmy Schwartz continue to not feel good, but he made it to Sunday School and church yesterday despite his problems.

Sherry Simpson is doing well following her surgery of a week ago.  If all continues to do well, she should be released to come home either today or tomorrow.  Thank God for the success of this recent surgery.

Andy Taylor shared a wonderful testimony about God’s faithfulness yesterday.  His second wreck caused him to have his vision checked with led to surgery. He is now able to see well enough to read after six years of very limited vision.  What a miracle!

Landon Estay shared the story about this family with me before the baby’s birth.  I know you will be praying for them as you read what has happened in their lives.  I suggest you begin at the bottom post and read to the present.  Prayers for this family are in order.  You’ll see that as you read.

Thought for the Day: Signs you’re not reading your Bible enough

Someone has composed the following “Top Ten” list of signs you may not
be reading your Bible enough:

10) The Preacher announces the sermon is from Galatians….. and you
check the table of contents.
9) You think Abraham, Isaac & Jacob may have had a few hit songs
during the 60’s.
8) You open to the Gospel of Luke and a WWII savings bond falls
out.
7) Your favorite Old Testament patriarch is Hercules.
6) Your favorite Bible verse is “Cleanliness is next to
godliness.”
5) You become frustrated because Charlton Heston isn’t listed in
either the concordance or the table of contents.
4) Catching the kids reading the Song of Solomon, you demand:
“Who gave you this stuff?”
3) You think the Minor Prophets worked in the quarries.
2) You keep falling for it every time when the preacher tells you
to turn to First Condominiums.

And the number one sign you may not be reading your Bible enough:

1) The kids keep asking too many questions about your usual bedtime
story: “Jonah the Shepherd Boy and His Ark of Many Colors.”

It’s hard to over-estimate the importance of reading and studying the
Bible. God’s Word is our source of spiritual nourishment, our light
in the midst of a dark world, our mirror to see what needs to be
corrected in our lives. And yet, it is so easy to let other things
get in the way and interrupt time we have wanted to dedicate to Bible
reading.

“Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.” (Psa.
119:97).

Have you read your Bible today?

Have a great week!
