Wrinkles

WRINKLES:
Something other people have,
similar to my character lines.

This gave me a whole new perspective on "aging!"

PRAYER REQUEST FOR JESSICA

Many of you were faithful prayer warriors for my cousin Jessica, who was in a near fatal car accident. Please see the update from her grandmother and lift her up in prayer! Thank you so much for your intercession for her!

*******************************************************

Jessica is in the hospital being monitored for seizures. Her doctor is trying to track her seizures because there is a possibility that they could do surgery and remove that part of the brain that is causing the problem. I just spoke to her and she is off all her seizure medication which gives her a painful headache. She is hooked up to machines and now to a heart monitor as well. She has had one seizure which took her heart rate from 50 to 180 in the space of a couple of seconds. That is not normal. They were able to track the seizure, but it is so unusual that it was hard for them to make a definitive diagnosis. She has asked for prayer. She said it is a weird request, but she asked for prayer that she will have another seizure and they will be able to track it better. She is at Loma Linda and she is being closely watched, but she is only 21 and being confined to these machines 24/7 is difficult for her too. She will be there for another week. Thanks to all of you for your prayers. We appreciate your faithfulness.

Wonderful Story of God's Love and Acceptance

Judge Roy Moore

Some of you may be wondering what Judge Roy Moore has been doing since he was removed from the bench for refusing to remove the Ten Commandments from his courtroom wall. Please read the poem he wrote.


The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama ! The judge's poem sums it up quite well.

America the beautiful,
or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride;
I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,
Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty;
your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly
poisoned by cocaine
choosing to indulge their lusts,
when God has said abstain

From sea to shining sea,
our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love
and a need to always pray

We've kept God in our
temples, how callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool,
and Heaven is His throne.
We've voted in a government
that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges;
who throw reason out the door,


Too soft to place a killer
in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby
before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not
angry, that our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait
before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,
from Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do,
but stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,
will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face
and mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven;
and forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land
and those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,
If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God
withdraw His hand from Thee.

~~Judge Roy Moore~~

This says it all. May we all forward this message and offer our prayers for Judge Moore to be blessed and for America to wake up and realize what we need to do to keep OUR America the Beautiful.

Facebook

I admit I'm a little slow with some of the "new" web stuff! I just recently joined the "Facebook" crowd and then I find out it's having its 5th year anniversary. What a blast it has been though!

"Seeing" people I hadn't seen in ages. Within a few weeks, I had the opportunity to "visit and catch up" with several people some of which happen to be the following: my youth pastor from many, many moons ago; a guy I went to school with since 2nd grade and he is now studying at Dallas Theological Seminary; one of my "amigas" from elementary school through high school who is now considering moving to AZ with her new husband; a guy I went to high school with that wanted to be a "pimp" and Prince was his idol who has given his life to Christ and is on fire for the Lord and promoting Christian concerts; a gal I went to church with after I first got married and she's now in TX and recently adopted a little boy from China; and many more!

Amazing updates on so many people's lives. One of the best benefits about these "visits" is that the "air" trip was free:)
