Tibits for April 24, 2007

+ Christ is risen! Christ is risen, indeed! Alleluia!
+ FLC News
- Brad Fruend did get a biopsy report regarding his ankle, and the results were negative! Thanks be to God. Brad and Sherry appreciate your prayers and support!
- Nonnie Hoffee has been moved from Emerald Glen to Richland Care Center. Since I was last at Emerald Glen, she has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and her situation prompted this move. Please pray for her.
- Today is the 5 year anniversary of when I was given my call to Faith. At this time 5 years ago, Pastor Juhl and I were nervous as we awaited the evening approached, and then we find out we are going to 20 miles apart. Speaking of Iuka, their congregation will be getting a student from the St. Louis seminary. Their call service is tomorrow evening. Vernon Quandt (Iuka congregational president) and I will be going to the service and meeting this gentleman. It looks like the vacancy will be over either in June or July.
+ Other Tidbits
-Interesting weekend at Wrigley to say the least. The Cubs have a runner out at second advancing on a walk (That would ONLY happen to the Cubs!), Jason Marquis shuts down his old team, and the Cards win a slugfest with some more strange plays on Sunday! Now, if only the Cards could always play like it's Sunday. As for the Cubs, they are playing like, well...the Cubs! Round 2 this weekend at Busch!
+ Bible verse reflection--Psalm 23:6
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
As we live our lives in this world, we have the assurance of God's goodness and mercy. Every day we live is a day filled with God's grace. He gives us His peace that only we can give; He gives us forgiveness all of our sins; He allows to come to Him in prayer; He gives food, home, and loved ones to gives us support--in a nutshell, everything we have is a gift from Him, including eternal life in heaven, which we look forward to having one day!
