Godly life

Sorry for the late note. We are being forced to play with our grand children and time has gotten away!

I was told John Sauls and Alan have just about completed our "common ground" arc! Beyond wet in our part of the world! Hopefully it is not as bad in your world! Ya'll have the right to tell me to be quiet in July and August when I will say, sure wish it would rain!

One of our camps has been washed away, the other camps are doing ok. Too much rain in a short amount of time. I apologize for the confusion last week about us finding Brad. He is still missing. We need to make some phone calls. Our basketball team has finished their city league play and now are in a church league. Matt has picked up some new boys to be on the team. More opportunities to share the Good News! There was a big haul of bread brought by Ardis. All the freezers and refrigerators are full!

Mondays and Wednesdays continue to bring us opportunities for relationships to develop. A great group of children come each week. Carl and Mary are developing a new schedule for the children to start in the coming weeks.

Tuesday evening the men's Bible fellowship met in the fellowship hall. Joey had prepared a feast, too much to bring to the chapel. Matt read from 2 Peter 1: 1 - 12. God has given  us everything we need to live a godly life. It is up to us to follow!

Thursday evening during the down pour, we sang a few songs and listened to Noel share his testimony about his trip to California. A delicious meal was prepared by Joey and Jerry, served by helpers, clothes were given away and grocery bags were handed out. More of our community showed than we thought due to all the rain. A testimony to how much we are appreciated.

We all have been invited to Ms Abbie's 31st Anniversary at her church this Sunday. She has been playing the piano for all those years! The name of her church is St Elmo Baptist church, 14070 Adger Rd Gilliam, LA 71029. Her appreciation celebration starts at 2:30. If you want to caravan up there, we will be living the center at 2pm.

God has given us His very great and precious promises. Isn't that amazing! There is no guess work, no wondering what is required of us, no mystery in what God has promised us. It is stated in the 5th verse, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and mutual affection, love.

And in the middle of verse 10, God says, for if you do these things, you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Wow, what a blessing! Amen.

Let's pray for the rain to slow up a bit and may we all continue to be in the presence of our Lord and Savior!
