Greeting from Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada
This week has been really busy. We participated in the Wellandport VBS, teaching the adult class.
Our theme was “Fearless Deeds of the Defenders.” It was an incredibly exciting, encouraging and faith-strengthening week. This little church puts on a BIG VBS. It was well attended by the local members and attracted a number of visitors. We had 40+ in the childrens’ classes. And 20-25 in the adult class. We commend these brothers and sisters for the dedication, devotion and hard work putting this together.
BTW, our battle cry is now, “FEARLESS.” Continue reading

Last week my facebook friend, Chris Murray, wife of Charles Murray, who preaches at the Skyview Church in Pinellas Park, posted a piece that caught my attention.
She talked about the problem of grumpy people who gripe about anybody and everything. As Chris wrote, “On a daily basis we encounter people in the grocery store, on the street, in our cars, on the phone and sometimes even at home or in worship service who fall into the category of unhappy people.” Continue reading

“Learn more; worry less,” advised Jim Rohn on a facebook post. Then he offered this insight by Paul J. Meyer, “More damage is done by worrying than by what is being worried about. This is because over 90% of all worries never come to pass.”
