"Let's Eliminate Negative
Thinking" *
… 7let the
wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to
the Lord, that he may have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will abundantly
pardon. 8For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my
ways, says the Lord. 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your
thoughts.
Isaiah 55:1-9

For everything you have
missed,
You have gained something
else,
And for everything you
gain,
You lose something
else.
~ Ralph
Waldo Emerson
To be
yourself in a world that is constantly
trying to
make you something else
is the
greatest accomplishment.

Martin Postma was our
speaker at Rotary on Friday.
He showed one of the
Shelter Boxes that they send
out in emergencies. 15,000
of them went to Haiti along
with nine trained
volunteers like Martin who show how they
can be
used.
Here, Martin is holding up
a water filter that can effectively
be used for more than a
year.
The human voice can never
reach the distance
That is covered by the
still small voice of conscience.

lent. L.E.N.T.
I do not want you to be
unaware, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud, and
all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in
the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual
drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock
was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, and they were
struck down in the wilderness.
Now these things occurred
as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not become
idolaters as some of them did; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and
drink, and they rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual immorality as
some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not
put Christ to the test, as some of them did, and were destroyed by serpents. And
do not complain as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer. These
things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to
instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come. So if you think you are
standing, watch out that you do not fall. No testing has overtaken you that is
not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested
beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so
that you may be able to endure it.
