We'll Be Back

Tonight we had a good crowd for Central Family Devotional. Will and John Robert did an excellent job of leading singing. We had four different prayer leaders lead us before the Father. I spoke about how offering service to others brings them life, light, and praise (from Matthew 5). Then we had a sharing time, and two relief workers shared what the week here in Pascagoula meant to them. We closed out by viewing Gary Boswell and Rochelle Harpers' DVD called "They Came". "We'll be back." That's what I keep hearing from relief workers from all over the country. I think it's awesome that they come in the first place! They work hard, but never complain. They serve with no strings attached. They give up life at home ... probably time at work ... vacation time ... summer break ... and then they say, "We'll be back." That is so encouraging. One of the older couples from Pennsylvania has spent the week visiting those we have served. They are a true blessing, having a heart of compassion to visit, pray, and love the people of our community. Today I updated my blog page, taking off some dead links, re-linking some blogs that had moved, and adding a few new ones. My mother must be looking over this list and reading some blogs occasionally. She keeps bringing up things from one blog or another. She's been reading John Mark Hicks, Bobby Valentine, and L. V. Mouser....and who knows who else! Of course she reads this blog as well. If she ever figures out how to leave comments, look out! I've noticed lots of people moving their blog over to Word Press. I have noticed that the blogs there look mighty nice. But if a blog isn't on blogger, is it still a blog? Wouldn't it be a faux blog? I'll have to think about that one.
