“Where your treasure is there will your heart be also”
I recently read a story and heard on TV about an outstanding young man who put love for his country, and his fellow man far above money and fame! He turned down millions of dollars to play in the National Football League, and left his bride after their honeymoon to go with his brother to Afghanistan and fight with the Army Rangers! Last week he was killed in a fire fight! Lincoln
said it best “He gave the last full measure of … devotion!” Do you suppose he might have been thinking “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” I think so! His name is Pat Tillman and his brother is Kevin. Thank you Pat & Kevin from the bottom of our hearts!! Once again this is a pure & simple case of “When Duty Becomes Desire”!
We had another fine day of worship on 4/25/04. Our series on the Beatitudes continues to be a source of learning for us, yesterday we studied about the Peacemakers.
Oleta and I want to thank all of you for your prayers and interest in our daughter, Gloria who spent time in the hospital. She is home now and doing much better. Thank you all so much!
I have relinquished some of my duties in preparing for our worship service and asking our men to lead prayers. I want to thank all of you who have helped me in this job, and made it a lot easier. I just felt it was time to bring some others in, and maybe come up with some new ideas.
The brothers who will be handling our worship from now on are: Vernon Percival, Tommy Duvall, David Calvert, and Tom Dipprey. Please
give them the same wonderful help you gave me!! While we are thanking folks, lets all give Bro. Jacob Locke a big pat on the back for the wonderful job he does on our announcements, he makes our visitors feel so welcome!
Hi to all of you who can’t be with us for all the services, we love you and miss you! Hope to see the rest of you in service this week!
REMEMBER
It’s better to be right, than left!
