Over the weekend, our church had a Youth night. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, ate home-made ice cream, went on a hay ride (minus the hay because it got wet in the rain), and enjoyed good fellowship. Here are some of the pictures Kevin took for us.

The BIBLE In The Wall

Many years ago a lady in Spain wanted to do something for the Lord and decided to give away Bibles. While seeking possible recipients she came upon a man building a wall. When she discovered he had never owned a Bible, she offered him one, writing his name in it.

The man was too embarrassed to refuse it but when she left, he resolved, "I will never read this and I'll make sure no one else will either." He placed the book behind one of the stones and finished the wall, certain that at least this copy would be hidden forever.

A few years later an earthquake hit that area and an inspector, looking for damage, found a crack in the wall. He peered in and to his amazement saw the book. He carefully removed it, hurriedly turned the pages, and decided to take it home. That evening he was found earnestly studying the Word of God. Soon the inspector was on his knees thanking Jesus for dying for him. He yielded his life to his new-found Saviour and became a distributor for the Bible society in Spain, selling God's Word from town to town.

It was not long before he came upon a stonemason and offered him a Bible at a very low cost. The man told him he had sealed in a wall the only Bible he had ever owned. The distributor drew from his pocket the very Bible and glancing at the fly leaf told the man his name. The startled laborer sat down and listened to the distributor's story. Then he too decided to have a closer look at this strange book.

The power of the printed Word of God was again made manifest as the stoneworker also became a Christian and eventually a missionary in a foreign land where for many years he labored faithfully for his Saviour.

I found this story in a book that was given to us.

My Amazing Bible

~

My Bible's a source of surprising wealth;

A storehouse of food for the spirit's health;

A refuge of peace from a world in strife;

A place of surcease from the storms of life;

A firm foundation beneath my feet;

A shelter and shield from the noonday heat;

An unfailing help in the time of need;

A joy and comfort to all who read;

A Book that presents, as I read it more,

A friendly Face and an open door;

A plan for the man who is down-and-out;

A goal for the soul that is torn by doubt;

A chart for the heart that has lost its way;

A light in the night and a guide by day;

A care that is sure for the sin-sick soul;

A calm and a balm that can make men whole;

So planned and so grand that it stands alone,

The greatest Book that the world has known!

Autumn swap box

It was filled with a lot of goodies.

Thank you so much, Lisa!

I mailed your box today.

My name in Letters

Do yours here

This Morning

~

Did you meet the Lord this morning ere you

saw a human face?

Did you look upon His beauty through

His all-abounding grace?

Did you bow in prayer before Him ere you went

upon your way?

Did you ask for strength to carry all the burdens

of the day?

Did you see His will in reading from

His Holy Word, and take

Of His promises a portion, blessed with love,

for His Name's sake?

Oh, how weak and worthless are we,

and our spirits quake within,

If we fail to meet the Master ere the pathway we begin.

How He waits to give His blessing on our lives another day.

Christian, never start with Him.

Let Him speak, and then, obey.
