Pastors Pen,November 10, 2013:In honor of Veterans Day....thank you Veterans

One Nation Under God by Roger Robicheau
One Nation Under God we live
Think about all some had to give
We the people share freedom’s life
In a world of ever present strife
Be grateful to those who keep this true
Warriors of our red, white, and blue
They're trained by those of great skill
Honed to perform, so strong their will
They show what love is all about
They’ll fight for us, there is no doubt
Defending bravely what we are
No holding back each heartfelt star
Highly praise these men and women
Giving thanks time and again
Those in uniform will always be
The golden pride of this country

To all our Veterans who served in the Military, or Marched in the greatest Army of all, the Army of the Lord, thank you for your service. The solider served and died for freedom, Jesus lived and died for freedom, one for country and one for your soul. Thank you Veterans!!

Joke: Dear Editor, Today is Veterans Day, so I asked someone who had been in the Armed Service what he did in the military. He said, "I was in the Pacific Theater." I asked him if any other GIs were with him. He said "Yes, there were thousands of us in the Pacific Theater." I asked him how much time he spent in the Pacific Theater. He said that he was in the Pacific Theatre every day for five months!

I certainly believe that our fighting men need some recreation, but I think that they don't need to be in the movie theater that long. Back in 1944, for example, our boys in uniform were having a tough time on the beaches of Norway - yet there were thousands of GIs off in the movie theater who could have been helping out. And as a Concerned American, I think it is a bit excessive for a serviceman to be at the picture show every day for five months. Of course, all Veterans were not in the Pacific Theater, and we should be proud of those who fought and who made sacrifices.

A Concerned American
Not an informed American, just concerned, uneducated.......

    CONGRATS TO Charlie D for being hired at Fortis College, starts on Monday, say an extra prayer for him.
    PRAISE GOD: Sis. Grace is home from her ER visit and doing well, God is so good!!!!!

    JOKES II..Oh... Alyssa and her family goes to church with me. One day, Alyssa and Poppaw went up to the chicken house to gather eggs. Poppaw told Alyssa, "Now always turn on the light and look in the nest to make sure there is no snake in it." Alyssa replied, "Silly Poppaw! Chickens don't lay snakes...they lay eggs."

    Say What? Learning to use a voice-recognition computer program, I was excited about the prospect of finally being able to write more accurately than I type. First I read out loud to the computer for about an hour to train it to my voice, then I opened a clean page and dictated a nursery rhyme to see the magic. The computer dutifully printed out, "Murry fed a little clam, its fleas was bright and slow."

    JESUS IS COMING, IT COULD BE TODAY—R U READY!!!!!!!

LWF - Shake Off Fear—Embrace Blessing!

Shake Off Fear—Embrace Blessing!

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Did you know that fear can cause you to forget things? Now, I’m not talking about forgetting a phone number or someone’s name, though it may cause you to forget things like that. Instead, I’m referring to fear that causes you to forget the blessings, the anointing, the power of God—all these possessions you have because you are saved!

It happened to Timothy, who was mightily gifted and graced by God for the ministry that God had given him. Yet he forgot this in the midst of fear, and Paul had to remind him (see 2 Timothy 1:6). He had taken his eyes off of God and focused on fear so much that he couldn’t see anything else.

Let me tell you something friend: You are tremendously blessed! If you get your mind distracted by fear, then you will fail to see your blessings in Christ. Fear will blow out every light in your soul, take the blue out of your sky, and the joy out of your life.

ACTION POINT:
Friend, wake up and count your blessings. Rejoice, for you are in Christ!

LWF - If You Keep Your Eyes on Jesus…



If You Keep Your Eyes on Jesus…

BIBLE MEDITATION:
“And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.” John 16:22

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
When I was a boy and living on the Florida coastline, my brother and I were a little disappointed when a hurricane passed us by because of the exhilaration we experienced leaning into the wind and tasting the salty air! I can remember waves sometimes reaching fifty feet in the air. What a sight! But did you know there has never been a storm to move the ocean floor?

There will be storms that will course across the surface of our lives with raging torment, but the child of God can know a deep-down joy that nothing can take away. If you keep your eyes on Jesus, He will bring a joy that no man can take from you.

ACTION POINT:
Oh, thank God for the steadfastness of His power, love, and mercy. Is your joy full in Christ today despite the winds of adversity?

Newsletter - FULL GOSPEL MISSION




 FULL GOSPEL MISSION
 887 W. Spruce Ave., Ravenna, OH 44266
 Rev. Barbara A. Davis, Pastor

 Pastors Pen, October 27, 2013......Surprise Endings"...Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: (I Peter 5:8).

 The story is told of a sweet little girl who went into the pet store. She asked the owner, "Do you have any rabbits?" Kneeling down and looking her right in the eye, the owner asked, "Do you want a little white rabbit or a little black rabbit?"

 The sweet little girl responded, "I don't think my python will care what color it is."

 I laughed when I heard this...and I love stories with surprise endings.

 The Bible tells us that Satan the serpent (Genesis 3:1, 13 and Revelation 12:9) seeks to deceive and to destroy you. He is the devourer of the children of God. When he is coming to devour us, he doesn't care what color we are. He doesn't care if we are young or old. He doesn't care if we are fragile or rugged. He just wants to deceive and devour us.

 The sweet little girl didn't want the rabbit for a pet. She wanted it as food for her python.

 Satan doesn't show us his true colors. He presents himself as light and good (2 Corinthians 11:14). But, he is anything but that!

 Be careful. Satan seeks to deceive and devour and destroy. In his case, his ending is no surprise. I like that. What will be your ending? Eternity--it happens-U-decide where!

 THE CHURCH

 JOKE.
Cause And Effect Last October my wife bought a magnolia tree from the local nursery, but after only a few weeks the leaves shriveled. It appeared to be on its last legs. My wife took some leaf samples and marched into the nursery to demand an explanation. "I know exactly what's wrong with your magnolia," said the manager. "Good," said my wife. "What's it suffering from?" He replied, "Autumn."

 More Cause And Effect "This hotel stinks!" a guest complained when he showed up at the front desk to check out. "What's wrong?" I asked. "I got no sleep. Every 15 minutes this loud banging sound woke me up!" I apologized for the noise and checked him out. A few minutes later, a couple showed up. Again, I made the mistake of asking how their stay was. "Terrible!" they said. "The guy in the next room was snoring so loudly that we had to bang on the wall every 15 minutes to wake him up!"

 FYI THANKS: Charlie and John for getting the ac's upstairs. God bless!
