I did it my way a very long time...found myself on my knees...started reading this really good book called the Bible...WOW-things are really different now...
After a while...
After a while you learn the subtle difference,
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning,
And company doesn't doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts,
And presents aren't promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats,
With you head up and your eyes open,
With the grace of a women and not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today,
Because tomorrow's ground is to uncertain for plans,
And futures have a way of falling down in midflight.
After a while, you learn,
That even the sunshine burns if you get too much,
So you plant your own garden,
And decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure.
That you really are strong.
And you really do have worth
And you learn and you learn,
With every goodbye, you learn..

Three Hundred Flood Affected Christian Families in north Punjab Waiting for Relief
Massive rains and flash floods are devastating Pakistan. Country’s monsoon rains have killed thousands including women, children elderly people and animals. Ten millions men, women and children have been displaced with their livestock. Those affected urgently need food, water and shelter.
The meteorological department has forecast more rains. There could be even more damage in the coming days as major rivers reaches dangerously high levels.
Our emergency response group will help as many families as possible with special emphasis on reaching women, children, people with disabilities and elderly people.
Three hundred Christian families in Resalpur area of north Punjab are waiting for the relief. They have been rescued by Pakistan Army and they are living now under the open sky.
Mrs. Nasreen Bibi said, “We have facing server shortage of drinking water and ration. Snakes are biting our livestock. No government officials have reached to us to know what sort of problems we are facing. She cried over the loss of houses and their loved ones”
Miss. Fatima said, “My village, houses and standing crops even everything has been washed away in the flood including my school”
Their survival depends upon how quickly we respond.
The needs in Pakistan today are tremendous for the flood victims, but you can make a difference:
$10 = personal hygiene supplies for a family
$30 = crockery per family for cooking.
$45 = food supplies to feed family of seven for twenty days.
$75 = essential household items for a family, i.e., bedding and plastic sheeting.
See photographs of flood.
In peace,

Charles Spurgeon once said, "Satan never kicks a dead horse." That means you are alive. It means you are active. Every believer is in a battle. We are in a fight! Don't be fooled by all of these commercials on T.V. from other Christian ministries depicting the Christian life as frolicking through the flowers, health and prosperity and individuals standing around with wide smiles on their faces. You have either just come out of a battle or you are now in a battle or you are headed into a battle -- because the Christian life is depicted as a battle.
One of these days we are going to lay our weapons down and we'll be in glory and the battles will be over and we will study war no more. But until that time, you can count on it, as a born again child of God, you are in a battle!
Suzie, my sister. Thanks for the love you share. Obeying God Who said we should love one another. You make it an easy command to obey. I love you and am thankful that we are sisters.
