Saturday

 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

 I will say of the Lord,

“He is my refuge and my fortress,

    my God, in whom I trust.”

3Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare

    and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,

    and under his wings you will find refuge;

    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

       ~Psalm 91:1-4~

 

Mr. Larry Watts passed away.  Please continue to pray for his family, friends, and co-workers.

Thursday

I tried for hours early this morning to post today, but the weather kept my satellite from working.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you
with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—
that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.  
~ Ephesians:16-21 ~

 

Please pray for Andy, Betty Taylor and for their son Tommy Mapes.  They all seem to have health issues not.  I know they will appreciate your prayers.
