Good morning,
We are in Trenton, Georgia, visiting LaVon's mother. We will be leaving Monday for Kerrville, Thanks for your prayers.
Col. 3:12-17
God's Beauty Tips*
For attractive lips,
speak words of kindness.
For beautiful eyes,
look for the good in others.
To lose weight,
let go of stress, hatred, anger, discontentment, and the need to control others.
To improve your ears,
listen to the Word of God.
For poise,
walk with knowledge and self-esteem.
To strengthen your arms,
hug at least 3 people a day; touch someone with your love.
To strengthen your heart,
forgive yourself and others.
For the ultimate in business, casual or evening attire,
put on the robe of Christ; it fits like a glove but allows room for growth.
Best of all, it never goes out of style
and is appropriate for any occasion.
Doing these things on a daily basis will certainly make you a more beautiful person. - Author Unknown
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.

Sunday is Coming
Good morning,
Here at Kerrville, Texas, Johnson Creek RV Resort, God continues to surprise us every week. The park was rather empty last week but we still had a good turn out for church. Praise the LORD!
My sermon this week is on Fathers. Happy Father's Day to all you fathers. As I am preparing for Sunday I have been thinking of my father and some of the things he would say to me. I read the following story dealing with a disaster and the father looking for his son and I couldn't help but laugh and say that's my Dad.
Disaster Encounter*
"Oh, No!" he gasped as he surveyed the disaster before him. Never in his 40 years of life had he seen anything like it. How anyone could have survived he did not know.
He could only hope that somewhere amid the overwhelming destruction he would find his 16-year-old son. Only the slim hope of finding Danny kept him from turning and fleeing the scene. He took a deep breath and proceeded.
Walking was virtually impossible with so many things strewn across his path. He moved ahead slowly.
"Danny! Danny!" he whispered to himself. He tripped and almost fell several times. He heard someone, or something, move. At least he thought he did. Perhaps, he was just hoping he did. He shook his head and felt his gut tighten.
He couldn't understand how this could have happened. There was some light but not enough to see very much. Something cold and wet brushed against his hand. He jerked it away.
In desperation, he took another step then cried out, "Danny!".
From a nearby pile of unidentified material, he heard his son. "Yes, Dad," he said, in a voice so weak it could hardly be heard.
"It's time to get up and get ready for school," the man sighed, "and, for heaven's sake, clean up this room."
This is funny, but I know my dad prayed for me and wanted the best for me. I also know my Heavenly Father wants even better for me.
Mat. 7:11 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
If your father is still alive I pray you tell him you love him. For the rest of us, remember the good times.
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.

Good morning,
We are here at Kerrville, Texas, Johnson Creek RV Resort. God continues to surprise us every week. The park was rather empty last week but we still had a good turn out for church, PTL. My sermon ended on serving the Lord then Monday I read this;
Three Little Piggies*.
Three little piggies went out to dinner one night. The waiter came and took their orders for drinks.
"I would like a Sprite," said the first little piggy.
"I would like a glass of Coke," said the second little piggy.
"I want lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.
The drinks were brought out and a little later, the waiter took their orders for dinner.
"I want a nice big steak," said the first piggy.
"I would like the salad plate," said the second piggy.
"I want lots and lots of water," said the third little piggy.
The meals were brought out and awhile later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert.
"I want a banana split," said the first piggy.
"I want a root beer float," said the second piggy.
"I want lots and lots of water!" exclaimed the third little piggy.
"Pardon me for asking," said the waiter, "but why have you only ordered water?"
"Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!'" replied the third little piggy.
God has given us each differing abilities in order to complement one another. You are able to do things well that I cannot do. I am able to do things well that you can’t do well, but when we bring them together we are able to accomplish what God has called us to do.
1 Peter 4:10 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
You didn't think I could bring that story around to say something spiritual, did you? My sermon this week is on spiritual gifts, we all have one.

Sunday's Coming
Good morning,
We are here at Kerrville, Texas, Johnson Creek RV Resort. I pray you had a great weekend and you and yours are safe and well. We had a great service Sunday with 21 in church which just about filled are little building. Keep us and the ministry in your prayers. I know God has us here for a reason.
Let me ask a question this morning.
Does Prayer Change Things?*
They say that prayer changes things, but does it REALLY change anything?
Oh yes It really does!
Does prayer change your present situation or sudden circumstances?
No, not always, but it does change the way you look at those events.
Does prayer change your financial future?
No, not always, but it does change who you look to for meeting your daily needs.
Does prayer change shattered hearts or broken bodies?
No, not always, but it will change your source of strength and comfort.
Does prayer change your wants and desires?
No, not always, but it will change your wants into what God desires!
Does prayer change how you view the world?
No, not always, but it will change whose eyes you see the world through.
Does prayer change your regrets from the past?
No, not always, but it will change your hopes for the future!
Does prayer change the people around you?
No, not always, but it will change you - the problem isn't always in others.
Does prayer change your life in ways you can't explain?
Oh, yes, always! And it will change you from the inside out!
So does prayer REALLY change ANYTHING?
Yes! It REALLY does change EVERYTHING!
