Quick Prayer Request

Quick prayer request from work....

1. Katy is going to be attending an In Service this weekend and four days after Christmas in Columbia. The in service has to do with her PACE program to get her teaching certificate. She is already teaching in Charleston County, HOWEVER these inservices require homework and lots of studying on her part. She will either get a PASS or FAIL on her work and I do not need to tell you that WE can not afford for her to fail this. No passing grade means no more teaching job. So, the prayer request is for traveling mercies for her and for peace that passes all understanding and a clear mind. I know that she is a bit anxious about all of this just as I would be.

2. I have been speaking with a recruiter for the last two days and the client they have in Columbia is very interested in me. The pay is VERY nice with full benefits. We feel as if we REALLY could use the boost in income since we are SO FAR behind on all of our bills. I would have to travel back and forth from Columbia OR stay there during the week and come home on the weekends. Anyway the prayer request would be that I would have favor in the eyes of this client and can get a face to face interview so I can sell myself. They have already shown preliminary interest in me thus far.
Merry Christmas to one and all!

Discoveries by Dwight Clough

I subscribe to the Discovery devotionals and would encourage you to do the same. Here is a sample of what Dwight sends out each and every day.



No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made Him known. John 1:18How do you squeeze the universe small enough so you can hold it in your hand? How do you put all the oceans of the world in a single bottle? If it were left up to us to find God, we would be in big trouble. How could we hope to know anything about Him in a year, in 70 years, in 6,000 years? It would be like counting the fish in the Pacific ocean, one by one, hoping we didn't miss any. That's why we learn the truth: No one has ever seen God. Our eyes aren't big enough. Our heart isn't pure enough. Our life isn't enduring enough to see God, unless God wants to be seen.But God wants to be seen. He wants to be known. He wants to fill our little hearts with the knowledge of Him. And He knows you can't pour the ocean into a teacup. So He gives us a drink instead from the Water of Life.What amazes me is how effortless, how automatic, how easy Jesus makes it seem -- every moment of His life was a miracle as He declared to us: This is who God is.God is not at the end of our quest; we are at the end of His quest. We didn't find Him; He found us. One night my son was looking for something. He was getting quite frustrated because he had no idea where it was. My wife walked in the room, and started laughing."What is it? Why are you laughing?" my son wanted to know. But then he started laughing. What he was looking for was right in front of him all the time.So it is with God. Jesus has placed the unknowable right in front of us. God means to be discovered.

Be encouraged!Dwight

Blue Ribbon - pass this on please

I read this and I was reminded of how precious our children are. Not just my children, but YOUR children too. It is so easy for us to turn a blind eye towards the social ills all around us and this is but one. How many times have I come home upset about something at work or frustrated about the bills and lack of money and taken it out on my children? No, I have not gone to these extremes and it is probably only because of Jesus in me. However, there are dads out there and moms too who allow the pressures of this life to drive them to these extremes and their children and spouses become the victims. Needless victims if there are folks that live next door that are aware of the sounds of fighting time and time again. No one wants to get involved because it means it will cause friction between you and the folks involved. God give us the courage to be attentive to the problems around us and help us to be the solution, the hope and light to these people. Please forward this to all the people you know so that they too can be aware of the problem. Thanks



Sarah

My name is Sarah I am but three,My eyes are swollenI cannot see,I must be stupid,I must be bad,What else could have madeMy daddy so mad?

I wish I were better,I wish I weren't ugly,Then maybe my Mommy would still want to hug me.I can't speak at all,I can't do a wrong Or else I'm locked up All the day long.

When I awake I'm all aloneThe house is dark My folks aren't home.When my Mommy does come I'll try and be nice, So maybe I'll get just One whipping tonight.Don't make a sound!I just heard a car My daddy is back>From Charlie's Bar.I hear him curse My name he callsI press myselfAgainst the wall.I try and hide>From his evil eyes I'm so afraid nowI'm starting to cry.He finds me weeping He shouts ugly words,He says its my faultThat he suffers at work.He slaps me and hits meAnd yells at me more,I finally get freeAnd I run for the door.
He's already locked itAnd I start to bawl,He takes me and throws meAgainst the hard wall.

I fall to the floorWith my bones nearly broken,And my daddy continues With more bad words spoken."I'm sorry!", I scream But its now much too late His face has been twisted Into unimaginable hate.The hurt and the pain Again and again Oh please God, have mercy !Oh please let it end!And he finally stops And heads for the door, While I lay there motionless Sprawled on the floor.My name is Sarah And I am but three,Tonight my daddy Murdered me.

How about those Dallas Cowboys??

The Chiefs circled the wagon, set it on fire and tried to run the Cowboys out of town but somehow they managed to turn back the onslaught and beat the Chiefs at their own game. Dallas won the game by 3 points and are STILL in second place in the NFC East. The NY Giants won tonight which means they remain in the first place in the NFC East and Dallas stays in second place. That IS good news since we are getting down to the wire with only four games remaining. Go Cowboys!!
