Day 22
Ahhhh, Sunday morning -- a day of praise, worship and livin' for the LORD! But then, aren't they all?
"Let everything that has breath, praise the LORD!" Psalm 150:6
Today many people from the church are going down to see Billy & Franklin Graham speak in downtown New Orleans. It is suppose to be a fantastic turnout. The normal amount of handout literature was depleted several weeks ago, and record crowds are expected. Many people want to go to see Billy as this may be his last public speaking engagement. Just to say they saw him, and for the incredible encouragement it will obviously bring. I want to see him as well, but I was prompted that perhaps the seat I was to sit in was meant for a non-believer who really NEEDED to hear God's message tonight. Praise the Lord for the God given talent of Billy & Franklin Graham.
As for me - where do I get encouragement? From the teams, watching God's hand at work, and from the "comments" section of this blog page. If you wish to encourage not only me, but the other volunteers and the rest of the teams, please type a few words of encouragement at the bottom of this post. I love passing along and sharing each encouraging word, as it is received. Thank you.
Today I plan to go down to Waveland, MS to look at another area of hurricane damage. If you want to see it too, go to http://members.tripod.com/4christe/WavelandDamage. Prepare to be awed by the power of wind and waves, and then remember that our LORD has command over all these things.
Matthew 7:27
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
Here is a before & after photo of what is over there. This home was 4 blocks from the beach, they never found the contents of their home, the rubble you see here belongs to one of their neighbors. -- Remeber, these are people's homes, just like yours and mine. Here one Sunday, gone on Monday. Please go to this website, and read the account of this family. Thiers is only one story, there are thousands just like it.
Mark 4:38-41
Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"
Amen,
