~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks, once again, Patrick, for the reminder that we all need to slow down and do the will of God. Even the country artists, Alabama, sing about it: "Do you ever feel like you rush and rush until life's no fun? We are all in a hurry and don't know why." This week, make the extra effort to slow down...take time with God.
Thanks to the guys from the Youth Group that led us in the devotional time after our pot-luck today. We are SO very blessed to have such a talented bunch of young men!
PRAISE: It was wonderful too see Ken Smith AND Dolores Parker at church this morning!
