Serious Missions Prayer Request

This request is from Olive Asbury, the Directior of Rope Holders. Please pray for the people there, and the ones who will going down there to help the people on the island. If you want to sign up to receive the email prayer requests, send an email to ropeholders@missionhelps.net They also have a prayer newsletter once a month that you could receive in the mail. Here is the email that I received just a few minutes ago: Dear Pray-ers, A serious request is current with the Midwest Pilgrim Conference on their West Indies work in Dominica. This is an older work, and satan has been working hard the last while to divide and kill. He has made some deadly, vicious attacks on the work. There was a threat made by a former pastor that a church member's house might be burned down on his head. On Monday this member's brand new banana shed was burned down, and there is resulting fear of more repercussions. Lowell and Jean McVey, the missionaries on the field, are weary of the constant fric...

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." ~~ When Harry Met Sally This was written from the man's point of view, but it can go the other way too. Soon As You Can Written by Tony Martin, Brett Beavers and Dierks Bentley I left that sun sinkin’ west in California I was supposed to stay in LA a few more weeks But the next time that old sun and I meet up I’ll be a thousand miles east Fifty dollars and a gas card in my pocket That I’m thinkin’ might already be maxed out That’s just one of those little crazy things I really didn’t stop to think about ‘cause ‘Cause when a man wants to be with a woman There ain’t no way of gettin’ there too fast When you know who you wanna spend The rest of your life with, you wanna start The rest of your life As soon as you can That state trooper let me off with just a warnin’ And a promise that I’d try to slow her down Man, that promise was forgotten By...

Roses

When Carl picked me up for lunch today, he gave me these roses. He must have really missed me while I was in Texas. Isn't he so sweet? I think I am going to keep him around for a long time!

Weekend trip

I am leaving this evening for a little vacation. I am going down to visit my best friend Amy in Texas. She lives in Fort Worth, but I think we are going to spend the majority of our time in San Antonio. I think the plans are that we are going to go to Six Flags, the Riverwalk, and the Alamo while in San Antonio. It should be lots of fun. I have a layover in Memphis on the way down, and a layover in Minneapolis on the way back. I am going down with another friend, Gina. Amy, Gina and I went to Franklin College together. This is the first time that Gina and I will be at Amy's at the same time. I am not really sure if the big state of Texas is ready for us or not, but here we come! I am excited to go visit Amy and have fun with her and Gina, but at the same time, I am a little sad to leaving Carl here. I know it's only for the weekend, but I am going to miss him a lot! He is actually leaving work an hour early in order to pick me up from the airport when I come back on Monday. How...

Uses for Coke # 852

I don't think that I will ever drink Coke again. Here's why... My Mom's car wouldn't start one night after she got off work. That was last Wednesday. She had someone give the car battery a jumpstart so that she could drive it home. The next morning, it would not start. By the afternoon, it started, but Mom didn't want to take any chances with it not starting again that night, so I took her to work and picked her up from work. The car started just fine on Friday and Saturday morning. Mom met me at work, and I drove my car to Carl's Grandma's house. Then Carl, Mom, and I went up to Frankfort for the Missions Service at Camp Meeting. (Which was very good, BTW.) Anyway, by the time we got back to my work, Mom's car decided to not start again. We couldn't even jumpstart it. So it sat in the parking lot at Milto's all weekend. Yesterday, I was talking to a co-worker about the car and what it was doing. She went out and looked at the battery. She sugge...
