Daily Devotional – Our Daily Bread – “The Golden Rule”
http://odb.org/2014/03/12/the-golden-rule/
When I was in elementary school each student was given a new twelve in ruler each year. The Golden Rule was always printed on it. My, how things have changed! In that time the school taught many of the same lessons to us as we learned at home and at church.
Hymn of the Day – “Trust and Obey”
http://cyberhymnal.org/htm/t/r/trstobey.htm
Obedience was also taught, sometimes by those very rulers. I’m glad our homes and churches are still able to teach the most important things that make an eternal difference. I’m thankful to be an American, where this is still true.
Need at the Baptist Friendship House
The Baptist Friendship House is in need of travel size/motel size shampoo. If you have some, please get them to share and wish to purchase some for use in New Orleans, please get them to FBC, Kentwood. I’ll see that they are delivered.
Make a difference in someone’s life today!

Gail Brister
Continue to remember Gail in your prayers. It’s not easy to go through daily life with two broken arms, especially when one was not set in a timely manner. Looking ahead to the possibility of surgery and recovery time now, is discouraging.
Andy and Betty Taylor
Andy is still feeling “under the weather”. Betty is pretty well housebound with him. Pray they continue to recover – according to Gods timing. They may be absent from their church routine, but they are still in our hearts!
Susan Rimes
Susan is doing much better with her kidney stone issue, but got tripped by her dog injuring her ankle and knee. Pray this will not be a major setback for her.
Buddy Morris
Buddy and Eleanor are glad to be home. He feels okay, but is weak due to the length of time he was hospitalized. Let’s continue to pray for his recovery. May it be steady. even if it is slow.

We have had some beautiful days. Join me in thanking God for them. Even the tasks we don’t look forward to so much are better on days like yesterday. I suppose He thinks we need a day inside today to complete some of our tasks there. Whatever the weather, God has provided it for us. Be thankful to be alive and able to work some each day.

Sunday
“Since you are stubborn
and don’t want to change the way you think and act,
you are adding to the anger that God will have against you
on that day when God vents his anger.
At that time God will reveal that his decisions are fair.
He will pay all people back for what they have done.
He will give everlasting life
to those who search for glory, honor, and immortality
by persisting in doing what is good.
But he will bring anger and fury on those who,
in selfish pride,
refuse to believe the truth and who follow what is wrong.”
~Romans 2:5-8, GOD’S WORD~
