Monday

“Elijah was a man with a nature like ours,

and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain;

and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

And he prayed again,

and the heaven gave rain,

and the earth produced its fruit.”

~James 5:17-18~

Isn’t it wonderful to be able to pray and then wait to see how God chooses to answer?

90 Day Bible Reading – Last Day!

Revelation 18:1 – Revelation 22:21

When you complete today’s passages, please let me know.  I’m curious to know who has been reading along with me.

I will once again say this has been my favorite way to read the Bible.  Let me know if you didn’t read this time, but would like to read in the future, either now or some time later.

Be a blessing to someone today!

Easter

Though he was God,

did not demand and cling to his rights as God,

but laid aside his mighty power and glory,

taking the disguise of a slave and becoming like men.”

We had great news this morning.  Our Hatchel kids have been in a warm and sunny place all week, but are home now where it is snowing.  I’m thanking God for them having a good week with colleagues and for their return home.

 

Saturday Addition Plus

I was blessed to have had the opportunity to distribute water to those walking for the “HE HAS RISEN Walk” this morning. I think there were walkers from five churches. There was a group of Christian motorcyclist, “No One Left Behind”, leading the way, three or four police cars working with traffic, and two vans to pick up anyone who needed a rest from the walking. Glen Magee offered his restrooms at Smokehouse BBQ to those who needed to stop. The walk seemed to have been well organized and surely presented a message to those who witnessed it.

I don’t have a count of the walkers yet, but will post an estimated number when one is provided.  God bless everyone who participated in any way.

From Dana Hendry -Best count I could get was 95 people participating in the walk today. We had the Faith riders and walkers of all ages. It was a great time for a great cause….

Saturday

“Jesus said to her,

‘I am the resurrection and the life.

James 3:13 – 3 John 14

Samaritan’s Purse collected over a million shoeboxes to distribute around the world last Christmas season!  Thank God for all the support.  Plan to help if you/your church have not done so before.  Pray about the boxes you will pack next year.  Thank God for a million children who heard the Christmas message in their own language and received a box of gifts!
