9/11

I'm proud to be an American. Are you? On 9/11 exactly nine years ago today, the Taliban crashed two planes into the twin towers and killed 2200 people. We need to pray for their family and friends. Today had to be hard for them. And if you had a family member or friend that died that day then just know that we are praying for you.

LaRue County Newspaper

Landmark News Service

A 41-year-old LaRue County man died Thursday night after being ejected from his pickup truck and thrown into a power substation in New Haven.

Johnnie L. Colvin was driving east on Ky. 52 in Nelson County around 8:30 p.m. when his vehicle dropped off the right shoulder of the road, New Haven Police Chief K.C. Holbert reported. Colvin overcorrected and ran off the left shoulder, sliding down an embankment and rolling several times.
Colvin, who police said was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle, which came to rest against the fence of a Kentucky Utilities substation. Colvin hit the substation and was shocked.

He was transported by helicopter to University Hospital in Louisville and pronounced dead at 11:18 p.m. Holbert said alcohol and a high rate of speed were contributing factors to the wreck.

The collision also caused power disruptions in the area. Holbert said New Haven residents experienced a power surge that knocked out electricity for a few seconds while homes across the county line in LaRue were without power for hours. Kentucky Utilities said 52 customers were affected..


Please pray for his family and friends as they deal with their lost. And pray that he is in heaven with God.

Jonah and The Gaint Fish


God told Jonah to, "Get up and go preach to the city of Nineveh." Because they're were being bad. Jonah didn't want to do what God was telling him to do so he got on a boat to leave. God knew what Jonah was doing. God knew what Jonah was doing. God sent a big storm to rock the boat. All the sailors were praying to they're gods but Jonah had fallen asleep. The boat's captain found Jonah and told him to pray to God. Jonah knew that the only way to stop the storm was to throw himself off the boat. Jonah told the other sailors and they threw him into the ocean. The storm stopped! But, a big fish was swimming in the ocean and it ate Jonah! Jonah was stuck inside the big fish for three days and three nights. While he was in the fish Jonah realized that he had to go preach to Nineveh. So, God told the fish to spit Jonah out. And off Jonah went to do what God had told him to do.

Guard Your Thoughts

Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God. -Matthew 5:8
__________________________________________

WHat is your focus today? Are you willing to focus your thoughts on the countless blessings that God has given you? Before you answer that question, consider this: the direction of your thoughts will derermine, to a surprising extent, the direction of your day and your life.

This day- and every day hereafter-is a chance to celebrate the life that God has given you. It's a chance to colobrate your relatioinships, your talents, and your opportunities. So focus your thoughtsupon the figt of life-and upon the blessings that surround you.

You're a beautiful creation of God, a being of infinite importance. Give thanks for your gifts and share them. Never have the needs-or the opportunities for service-been greater.

The things we think are the things that feed our souls. If we think on pure and lovely things, we shall grow pure and lovely like them; and the converse is equally true. -Hannah Whitall Smith

Your Partnership With God

Day 4

For it is God who is working among you both the willing and the working for His good purpose. -Philippians 2:13
_______________________________

Do you seek a life of purpose, abundance, and fullfillment? If so, then you must form a partnership with God.

You are God's work in progress. God wants to mold your heart and guide your path, but because he created you of a creature of free will, He will not force you to become His. That choice is yours along, and it is a choice that should be reflected in every decision you make and every step you take.

Today, as you encounter the chalenges of eveyday life, strengthen your partnership with God through prayer, through obedience, throughh praise, through thaaanksgiving, and through service. God is the ultimate partner, and He wants to be your patner in every aspect of your life. Please don't turn Him down.

---------------------------------

No matter what we are going through, no matter how long the waiting answers, of one thing we may be sure. God is faithful. He keeps His promises. What he starts, He finishes...including His perfect work un us.
