Come and pray.
We Love you Lord, and we pray that your will be done. Forgive us of our sins. Thank you for our President , George W. Bush. Protect him, and continue to guide him. Thank you for our troops, and this country that has given so much to so many because of your blessings upon us. Amen.
Matthew Henshaw got his name into the Guinness Book of World Records in an unusual way. After swallowing a 15.9-inch sword, Henshaw attached a 40-pound sack of potatoes to the handle of the sword and held it for 5 seconds. (This is not recommended.)
Henshaw and others like him have gone to extraordinary lengths to have their names memorialized in the world’s most famous record book. The longing for immortality compels people to do many things—some remarkable, and some bizarre.
The immortality Jesus offers has nothing to do with anything we do. In fact, after giving His disciples the authority to do truly remarkable things (Luke 10:17-19), Jesus said, “Do not rejoice . . . that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven” (v.20).
At Golgotha, an unnamed thief believed that message just in time (Luke 23:40-42). He understood that eternal life had nothing to do with what he had done—good or bad. It had to do with what Jesus was doing—giving His own life so that even the undeserving could be welcomed into heaven by God. The important thing is being remembered not by others, but by God.

Blessed is His Name Forever and Ever. (Ps.113:2)
Amen.
Amen to your sweet prayer, wendelmyer. God bless and protect George W. Bush and all who serve our country.
Amen. Bless you all.
Thank You, Lord, for not taking this burden from my heart. We are strengthened as our burden increases.
Many have come before us
And received a heavy load
Their backs were bent with burden
As they walked a narrow road
In Jesus steps they followed
Their eyes on Him each day
Where’er His footprints led them
They knew His was The Way
Christ’s Way was not easy
The Father told Him so
We should expect no better
As along this way we go
Along it, we’ll find markers
Showing us the way
They’re also there to regain the path
If we should go astray
Thank You, Lord, for reminding me
While not easy, this path is True
As we continue to follow it
We know we are closer to You
I join in prayer for President Bush, the Administration, the election and our heroes standing in harm’s way!
I ask that we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, the City of David. I agree with your prayer, In The Name of Jesus
Christ, amen.
May you and your Loved ones have a Happy Easter!
I did not know that. Do you know what health problems he is having? I have enjoyed many of his books, and when I read his Wemmicks books to my children they still choke me up.
According to the email I received about him, it said he has atrial fibrillation. He told his board that he is not in immediate danger but it required him to slow down. He will continue writing and has 2 more books out this year. It said he had been thinking about this since September. This comes 7 months after being told about his heart problem. God bless him and his family.
