Yesterday, we did a tour of the Hiddenite Center, and I liked this writing desk.

I will give everyone a quick update on my sister, Kathy. She went back to the doctor yesterday and they took her I.V. line out, so no more antibioctics. They changed her insulin, and told her she can start back to her cleaning jobs. She is gaining back her energy, we thank the Lord for her recovery. A big THANK YOU everyone for remembering her in PRAYER!!!!!!

We are looking forward to Church on Sunday. It will be the Church's 41st anniversary. We will have dinner afterwards, so I am in the planning stages of what I will be bringing. So far I will make a Corn Bread Salad, Chicken Casserole, I am still thinking about a good Dessert, if anyone has any ideas just let me know.

There was an Evangelist at Church last night, he sends tracts all around the world. He had a display set up with lots of tracts for people to give out. He did a great job preaching last night as well. He preached about people putting things before the Lord, and how we should stand for the truth and not compromise. It was a blessing! Allen's sister and family came to our house after Church for some Chicken Casserole, etc. Amanda made Brownies which we enjoyed with ice cream. Until Next time have a wonderful day.

I took a piece of plastic clay

And idly fashioned it one day,

And as my fingers pressed it still,

It moved and yielded to my will.

I came again when days were past--

The bit of clay was hard at last;

The form I gave it, it still bore,

But I could change that form no more.

I took a piece of living clay

And gently formed it day by day,

And moulded with my power and art

A young child's soft and yielding heart.

I came again when years were gone--

It was a man I looked upon;

He still that early impress wore,

And I could change him nevermore.

I want to thank everyone for praying for my sister, Kathy. Her blood sugar went up to 1800 almost 3 weeks ago. She also had double pneumonia and the flu. She stayed in Intensive Care for a week and a half. But praise the Lord, she is doing better now. Hannah and I flew up to Syracuse, New York and stayed 5 days with her and her family. We will be posting some pictures over the next few days.

Hannah and I will be flying up to Syracuse, N.Y. on Monday. My sister has been in the hospital for Nearly 2 weeks and got out on Wednesday afternoon. She had the flu, pnemonia, and her sugar level went up to 1800. She didn't know she was a diabetic, she is on insulin 4 times a day now. So, we are going up to spend time with her and the family, we will be flying home on Saturday. Keep us in your prayers.

My husband preached for Bro. Steve at their Tuesday night service. The title of the sermon was " Pass the Salt" the verse was Matthew 5:13. He will be preaching for Bro. Jim in the Morning Service and back to our home church for the evening service.

The girls had a good birthday. Lydia received 2 flower arrangements for her 16th birthday, she told me later that she was wanting flowers and the Lord answered her prayer! They get their presents tonight at the party. We thank the Lord for our girls, they are a blessing to us.

My husband's great uncle died on Thursday night. He and his parents went down to see the family last night. We just got word that his wife died last night, she was sick with cancer. They are not in pain any longer. Thank the Lord they are both in Heaven. They will have the funeral for them on Monday.

-

Well I guess I'd better go and get things ready for the party. Hannah and I will have to pack, we went yesterday to get what Lydia and Grace needed for the meals. They will be taking care of their dad and the animals while we are gone. Take care and have a good week. I will be posting when Hannah and I return.

God Wants a Man

-

God wants a man-honest and true and brave;

A man who hates the wrong and loves the right;

A man who scorns all compromise and sin,

Who for the truth courageously will fight.

-

God wants a man-in lowly walk or high,

Who to the world by daily life wil prove

That Christ abides within the yielded heart,

Fitting that heart for service and for love.

-

God wants a man who dares to tell the truth,

Who in the market-place will stand four-square;

Whose word men trust-a man who never stoops

To hurt his fellow or to act unfair.

-

God wants a man of action and of faith,

Whose life is something more than cant and talk;

Who lives each day as though it were his last,

And proves his faith by a consistent walk.
