Sunday Is Coming

Good morning from Arizona,

We had our first service Sunday and had a great day in the Lord. The people are still coming in but there was still a good group.

LaVon is still having health problems so keep her in your prayers that this will pass soon and that I don't get whatever it is.

As I was praying this morning I couldn't help but think of each of you, how God has put you in our lives. You will never know what you mean to us. You bless us so! You encourage us each day by your emails, phone calls and your financial support. Thank you and if we can be in prayer for you in a special way let us know.

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

"You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts" 2 Corinthians 3:2

Each of us has a life story. Our stories include all of our experiences and all of the people who have been a part of our lives. Certainly, along the pages of our lives, there are people who for better or for worse have had a significant influence on us.

Like all stories, the pages that make up our lives are not just meant to be written, but to be read by others. The life and art of Christ-following is passed on, down the line, from person to person to person, from generation to generation. Christ-following is centered upon the content of the Bible. Yet, the application of that content is experienced in the trenches of everyday living. Someone has talked to you and shared the story of their life and how Jesus is a part of it. Others have been role models of the Christian life to you.

The Apostle Paul said, “We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us” (1 Thessalonians 2:8). Paul demonstrated that it is through our lives that the truth of the Gospel is made known to others, even as it has been made known to us.
