A thought for the day:


When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost! That's why I chose this way"

When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble-needing God to be my guide

When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on

When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting that I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught

When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible but God believes I'm worth it

When I say, "I am a Christian," I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His name

When I say, "I am a Christian," I do not wish to judge
I have no authority--I only know I'm loved

Brothers and Sisters,
Ed was recently (about two weeks ago) in an very serious motorcycle accident, unwisely he was not wearing a helmet. The doctors had to fuse his spine to his skull, which was basically crushed, he has stitches from ear to ear...They have had him on life support, but took him off. Last night he had some large seizures, and was on life support again. For some reason Ed was scheduled to be removed from life support again this morning. He has only shown slight signs of brain activity, and that was a number of days ago.

Worst of all: Ed does not know our Saviour. Please pray that Ed will be spared from death without salvation, & that God would have mercy on him & keep him alive to serve Him.

".....and God doeth it, that men should fear before him." Ecc. 3:14

Let's fear the God who can give and take away. And trust that He has a plan for Ed, and for the rest of us.

Soli Deo Gloria,
Jono

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

This morning, the Lord saw fit to bring little Eli to Himself. Please pray for the family of Eli... His lungs could not support him and he is now home with the Lord. Please pray that Eli's family will be comforted at this time of loss, in hope that one day they will see him again.

The Lord is very good, even when we do not understand.......

But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose
hope is in his unfailing love.
- Psalm 33:18

A dear friend of mine has delivered a baby boy at home this morning. Eli James is 6 weeks early. Please pray for no complications, that God will lift them up and help Eli to grow into a mighty and Godly man.


Our Lord is very great!

"Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart". ~ Psalm 37:4

Brothers and Sister in our Savior,

A dear friend of mine has asked that I request prayer and although I will keep the name anonymous, she has been on my heart a lot and I've been praying! I know you all will do the same. This beloved sister in Jesus desires to serve her Savior with all that is within her and although tough trials have hit their family, she continues to hold fast to Jesus. As the oldest of soon to be 10 children, her responsibilities are many and living in a small mountain town has taken it's toll on all of them. Please pray that the Lord would provide for their family, give them direction and peace -- knowing that Christ knows their every need. I can personally thank you for your prayers and I know this beloved sister appreciates it very much!

We serve a wonderful God!
