I was writing the last post when I saw this in my drafts. Call me crazy but I think it’s quite interesting.
I’ve determined that Faith and Christianity are like a “Magic Eye” picture. I know you have all heard of those. Just work with me a minute….
Believers can see this thing that is virtually invisible to those who do not believe. They can look at this “picture” and see something else that others can’t. The unbelievers can stare at the “picture” forever and never see it and eventually get discouraged because the believers can and they can’t. This then leads to bitterness and resentment towards the believers when all the unbelievers need to do is ask the believers how to see it and then once they take the step to try to see it, it will then become known to them. They too, can see the “picture” and hopefully become a believer.

I just found this article when skimming through today’s news articles. I cannot believe the things scientists will say to get their fifteen minutes of fame (so to speak). It’s so sad people feel they need to have physical/scientific proof for everything (all the answers). It’s even more sad to think we are worthy enough to have that information. Jesus is my Savior and what He tells me I believe. This thing called Faith is what God commands of us. Faith is believing what might not be seen because it is asked of us. God has never given me a reason not to believe Him. And to think that Jesus/God is any less than what He is and that He is some kind of hoax is ridiculous. God made the Heavens and the Earth. He creates every breath we take and every bat of an eyelash. Who says he can’t make someone walk on WATER. I hope this has made you just as upset as me. What is this world coming to? And even that, is predicted in the Bible by God!

Our Poor Man’s Supper was a huge success! Thank you to all who attended and donated time and money to help us out.  We were able to make close to $5000 which puts us close to the $10,000 mark (halfway).  A special thank you to Lorraine for doing all those dishes!!! We REALLY appreciated that.

Our next fundraisers include a lunch after the service on a Sunday in May and a babysitting night on May 5th from 5-10pm.  The youth is also having a car wash and the money will go to our Mission Trip fund.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers as well.

This Saturday will be our first fundraising event for our Mission trip to Moscow in October.  We are having a Poor Man’s Supper at Crestview from 5-7pm (ish).  There will be a Silent Auction starting at 5pm and the Main Auction will start at 7pm. Tickets are $5.00 for adults and $2.50 for kids (6-12).  Come on out to support us if you can.  If you don’t like the Poor Man’s Supper items we will have hot dogs, lots of hot dogs hehe.

Well, I still can’t really say much about something that is going on but God does like to throw twists into life sometimes. I guess when a person starts planning too much of their life without consulting the maker of that life, God has to throw something extra in there to show who is really in charge.  I’m interested in seeing how this one will play out.  I really wish I could share it right now but hopefully soon I will be able to.  Keep praying for me if you don’t mind. Thanks.

I’m excited because this weekend Justin and I get to watch Peyton.  We are friends with his parents from church and love Peyton to death. He is 4 years old and the sweetest thing (most of the time haha).  It should be fun.  It’s his parents’ anniversary so we are giving them the night out to enjoy.

We are also going to Polk County to speak on Sunday night about our trip to Moscow last year.  We are very excited to share it with them. It will be almost exactly a year after we went this weekend.

I hope you all have a great weekend.
