We have decided that your preacher will email you daily for a time...
           So GOOD MORNING!
Ps 118:24   This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

From something Sherry Sanchez sent me...
     “A truly HAPPY person is one that can enjoy the scenery on a detour.”
I like that!  I think that’s where I am in this crazy time we live in.  I am fighting with several things  that seem dangerous to me and my family.
1.  A tendency to feel depressed, maybe even angry.
2.  A tendency to be undirected.  Nothing has to be done, I can do nothing.
           [may I note that as an elder and preacher... more needs to be done now than ever]
3.  I recognize a potential for energy decline.  Again, there are no events to energize!
4.  A confusion problem.  Why this?  Where are we headed?  How bad can it get?
           How do I worship?  What are my elders doing?  How can I help?
5.  A FEAR problem.  Could one of my loved ones [family, YOU, me] get this virus?                                 What would be the consequences?
These are real thoughts and feelings.  As human beings we share them don’t we? WE MUST!
             
SO WHAT CAN I DO?   WHAT SHOULD BE MAY RESPONSE?
1.  A great time to WAIT ON THE LORD!   A TIME TO SIT and ABSORB!  READ
         A time to PRAY in the Spirit...  Deeply, meaningfully, specifically
2.  Cath and I have decided we can actively encourage via phone/text/email.  If all of us do that, we can stay connected electronically to some degree!  Call someone and tell them you are thinking about them. Read them a favorite scripture.  Share a prayer...  
      There’s no formula here...   PROJECT YOUR PRESENCE into another’s LIFE!
                    A LOVING VOICE IS POWERFUL!
 
IF WE ARE TO BE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, NOW OF ALL TIMES IS THE TIME!
                     OUR FAITH MUST SHOW... IT MUST ACT!  
       WE NEED TO BRING...
                    POWER AND POSITIVITY AND JESUS TO A TROUBLED WORLD!
I can do this....
SEVERAL TIMES EACH DAY, PRAY FOR US...       THINK ABOUT EACH MEMBER...
                     GET A COPY OF THE CHURCH DIRECTORY IN FRONT OF YOU!
               LOOK AT A NAME AND THINK...  “I LOVE YOU!”  PRAY!

I love you all...
