Happy Memorial Day 2024

 

Happy Memorial Day, Friends!  I hope you've had a happy and meaningful Memorial Day Weekend.

Friends, as you know the five-pointed star is the traditional star for our Republic's flag and nation.  However, there are cities and states throughout our country that are adopting flags with the eight pointed star, which is a prominent symbol of Islam.  I wanted to make you aware of this travesty, Friends.  

This week's lesson is entitled "kindling grace."  I will read it in Birmingham tomorrow morning, so I have no idea what it's about other than the hint from scripture.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

    and he delivered them from their distress.

He led them by a straight way

    to a city where they could settle.

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love

    and his wonderful deeds for mankind.

Psalm 107:6-8

I'm recycling this graphic of Psalm 107:8

Prayer Requests

• Rita asks for us to pray for her younger daughter's relationship struggles, and that she will listen to God's spirit within to make the right decisions.
• Pray for Kitty's son Mike to get a job. AI has taken away many jobs in his industry.  Mike might have the opportunity to redo a game with a friends.  Let's pray that this works out for him, and it will lead to more opportunities.
• Please continue to pray for our military and military families.
• Continue to pray for Carla's son Sam and the 157th!  Sam is in Louisiana training.  Let's pray that God will help him adjust to the heat and humidity.
• Please continue to pray for Shanley Belle as she meets with geneticists and physicians.  The information has been overwhelming for her and Christopher.  
• Praise to God for allowing us to live during this time in the greatest Republic the world has ever known.  

I'm off to watch the stillness of the lake without boats and drink strong dark roast coffee (it's early, y'all).

It has been a busy boating weekend!

Until next time...

Blessings!
