Sunday's Coming!

Good morning, from the RGV,

We are saying "Adios" to many, but this week has still been very busy. That is good because it makes the time go by faster.

My sermon this week is “How Can I Make my Prayer Life Fresh and New?”.

Does Prayer Always Work?

An avid baseball fan was sitting next to a priest during a baseball game. Aware of the need to speak religiously, the fan did his best to speak of Godly things.

A player came to bat, and before stepping to the plate, bowed his head and made the sign of the cross. On the first pitch he hit the ball over the bleachers and out of the park.

On his next trip to the plate he followed the same routine. On the first pitch he hit another home run. Amazed, the man turned to the priest and asked, “Does prayer always work out there?”

"It does," said the priest, "if you can hit."

We can never assume that prayer is a substitute for hard work or intense practice. We must always be aware of the fact that God has given each of us skills, talents, and abilities. However, we are also responsible for applying ourselves diligently to develop them to the best of our ability- then pray.

James 2:17- Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

1 Timothy 2:1 - First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,

LaVon and I are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual support and interest in our ministry by investing yourself in many ways as partners with us: by prayer, e-mails, phone calls and your financial gifts. Without any of these we could not continue what God has called us to do and that is to share the living water with the world through the RV ministry.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
