Tuesday Midmorning

From Stewart Miller

The young man who was killed in the prison riot in Natchez was a very close friend and neighbor of some good friends of mine. His name was Catlin Carithers from Franklin Co., was 23 and engaged to be married. Just an awful tragic thing, he was loved by many and I’m told he WAS a Christian. Please pray for Cat’s family and friends during this tough time.

Thank God Catlin was a Christian.  Pray for comfort the family and friends in knowing this.  Pray they will find peace in the days to come.

Tuesday

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,

for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes,

for the Jew first and also for the Greek.”

~Romans 1:16~

Continue to pray for the many folks we have been praying for.  Add names of those you know of with needs that were not listed here.  Contact me to have people/situations added.

VBS time is coming soon.  Local churches will beging VBS in June.  Be a part of something that is always fun and meaningful.  You can volunteer to help at your church or in multiple churches if you are available.  You’ll be doubly blessed!

Have a great day!  We have rain this morning.  It is coming out of the hose pipe and providing nourishment to the flowers and the plants in the garden.  I’m thankful for a good supply of water to help when plants are dry.  I’m also thankful for the one who is holding the hose in the dark this morning.
