The Link To Life
March 27, 2014

Read: Titus 3:1-11

According to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. —Titus 3:5

Bible in a Year:
Judges 1-3; Luke 4:1-30

By the time he was 16, Morris Frank (1908–1980) had lost his sight in both eyes. Several years later, he traveled to Switzerland where he met Buddy, the canine who would help to inspire Frank’s involvement with the Seeing Eye guide-dog school.

With Buddy leading the way, Frank learned to navigate busy sidewalks and intersections. Describing the freedom his guide provided, Frank said, “It was glorious: just [Buddy] and a leather strap, linking me to life.” Buddy gave Morris Frank a new kind of access to the world around him.

God’s Holy Spirit gives us access to abundant spiritual life in Christ. When we accept Christ as Lord, God washes our sins away and renews us “by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior” (Titus 3:5-6 niv). Once we know Christ, the Holy Spirit helps us experience God’s love (Rom. 5:5), understand God’s Word (John 14:26), pray (Rom. 8:26), and abound in hope (Rom. 15:13).

Today, as you think about your relationship with God, remember that the Spirit is your guide to life in Christ (Rom. 8:14).

Holy Spirit, Light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine.
Chase the shades of night away;
Turn my darkness into day. —Reed

The Holy Spirit guides us into knowledge and spiritual growth.

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Connie, and thanks for the tributes to our troops. *HUGS*

A haboob today? Those are scary!!!

Wild day today! Got checks printed, but they won’t post. And nobody can figure out why. Looking and searching. Taxes will have to wait til the problem is found.

But I won’t be here Thursday and Friday....I’m taking them off to share time with my sister.

And now I’m off for home as “they” just sent an email that “they” are taking down the internet.

Back in a bit.

Hi Kathy!

Evening, Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Arrowhead....go rest the aches. Just got home from work. I can relax this evening as I’ve taken Thursday and Friday off to spend time with my sister before she goes home Sunday night.

We are going to look at mini vans. My Mom finally acknowledged that the step up into the suburban is more than she can handle. I last car shopped 30 years ago.

In first....Connie grabs the gold!!
