I heard an interesting thought on the radio the other day. The topic was how the Jewish people should know they are a blessed people simply by the fact they are still around today...they have long been a hated people and numerous attempts to wipe them out entirely. Yet, when was the last time you heard someone say they were a Roman or Persian?
I'd like to request your prayers for a few people that I am close to. My Aunt Pat has what is thought to be Pancreatic cancer. Right now she is in a lot of pain and she is scheduled for surgery on Friday. Last night the pain apparently got pretty bad and my mom is not handling seeing her baby sister suffer like this. So if you will, please lift up my Aunt, my mother and all their friends and relatives that are burdened with this situation.
Secondly, please pray for my little brother off at Boot Camp. As a Green Beret, he has many long months of training ahead before he might even see foreign soil. By then the country could have a whole new direction which doesn't make me feel any better.
Lastly, I ask for your prayers for our upcoming Adult Basketball League. There is such a need for our members to understand the purpose of the Sports Ministry and build their teams based on helping the lost not their winning percentage. These captains who have build relationships through sports but still can't force themselves to invite them to church...they need prayer and encouragement. Like most people in church, the lost need to be personally invited. I don't want to see one more season go by where opportunities and possibly souls are lost.
