CONGRATS TO ANGELA MINISH!!!!

Angela won the Bible Trivia contest this morning, with Karen McBride breathing closely down her neck.  It was intense; people were sweating; competition was fierce.    In a very dramatic moment, Angela practically dived into home plate and screamed out the winning answer.


Angela won the ideal price of some Bible Book Marks, provided by our own Jonathan Langston.    We have a great prize basket, just like if you were good at the dentist.   You too can join us next month, the last Sunday in February.

My own son was score keeper, and delighted his mother when he was the only one in the room that new Israel meant "wrestles with God'.......

Hope you are doing well in reading the Bible...Angela is able to read on her Smart Phone when she needs to.  Use any means necessary!

Thought for the day....

The blog is being tempermental for me in the comment section, so I will make a whole new post today.   These thoughts follow the January 18 reading.....seems like there is an awful lot of sinning going on, huh?    People were taking matters into their own hands.....Sarah was helping God along with is promise, and we got Ishmael....Lot's daughters were helping along the blessing of children and we got two more enemy nations for the Jews.  There are consequences to every decision we make:  back then and now.  This reading has total application for today's culture.  I know that I am sometimes guilty of asking God to bless MY plans instead of listening for what He has planned.

I received an awesome book from a friend that I must recommend:  "Jesus Calling", by Sarah Young.  .....Today's reading fits right in:

I am leading you along the high road, but there are descents as well as ascents.  In the distance you see snow-covered peaks glistening in brilliant sunlight.  Your longing to reach those peaks is good, but you must not take shortcuts.  Your assignment is to follow Me, allowing Me to direct your path.  Let the heights beckon you onward, but stay close to me...........Walk hand in hand with Me through this day,  I have lovingly planned every inch of the way......

Have you ever thought about it like that?????

Great book to purchase...you can get it on your iPhone if you like and start reading today...
