Good morning everyone. We had quite the storm last night. I'm grateful that the power wasn't out for too long.
This coming Sunday thru Wednesday, I will be ministering at Trinity Assembly of God in Nicholson, Pennsylvania, where Pastor Kevin Compton leads this congregation. Please pray that the Lord will bless these services and encourage those who attend. A little bit of encouragement can go a long way in the body of Christ.
I'm presently reading through the Book of Daniel. I love the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in chapter 3. When their whole world was bowing down to a false god, they remained true to the Lord. Seems to me that we need a little bit more of that same backbone in Christianity today. Our God is the way, the truth and the life. May our hearts and knees only bow to Him.
Be blessed today and thanks for all your prayers.

Going To A Wonderful Place
Good morning everyone. It is a cloudy day. We desperately need rain and I wish the skies would open up for an all day drenching.
This coming Friday through Sunday, I will be ministering at a place that I hold very dear to my heart, Community Assembly of God in Lowville, New York. It was at this church back in the early 1990's that I served as their Youth Pastor. What wonderful memories flood my memory as I go back to minister. Pastor Keith Edick was actually a lay person in the congregation when I was on staff, but now he leads this church. Please pray that the Lord will bless these meetings with His power and love.
I turned a year older this week and I gladly welcomed that event. Wisdom comes with age but even greater wisdom comes from God. The events that transpired in my life last year while fighting breast cancer have given me a new perspective on life. Love God with all that you have. Let others know that you love them. Do the right thing no matter what. Laugh and let joy abide in your heart. Every day is a gift from God. I'd like to use the rest of my days, however many there may be for the glory of God.
Be blessed today in Jesus.

Preaching In The New Church Building
Good morning everyone. It's going to be a hot one out there today.
This Sunday, I will be ministering at Greater Valley Assembly of God in Athens, Pennsylvania. Although I've ministered at this church several times before, this will be the first time I preach in their new building that they have recently moved into. Please pray that the Lord will bless and touch lives with the power of the Gospel message. The Word of God is truth and it still changes lives today.
I want to thank the Lord for helping me through a recent scare. I couple weeks ago, I complained of pain just below my mastectomy scar. My oncologist sent me for a CAT Scan. It showed no problems near my scar but it did show that I have a goiter on my thyroid. Next, my oncologist sent me for a sonogram which showed I had nodules on my thyroid which she didn't know what to make of them. Last Friday, she sent me for a thyroid biopsy. As I waited for the news over the weekend, I tried not to let myself go to that place where it's the worst news. On Monday, Dr. Liptock called and said that everything is fine. Praise the Lord! It's not cancer and I can move forward. Trusting the Lord isn't always easy, but there is comfort and hope in it. He knows the path ahead of me and you. He charts our steps. We can trust Him.
God bless you all and thanks for your prayers.
