A Sad Day At Fort Hood

Posted in God Things


"The Lord will hear your crying, and He will comfort you. When He hears you, He will help you!" Isaiah 30:19
I am THANKING AND PRAISING GOD today that my baby girl is home SAFE AND SOUND as she had just left Ft. Hood shortly before the shootings began. Her husband, Tex, is out in the field so he was not on base either.

My heart goes out to the families of the 12 that have lost loved their lives, and to the 31 who have been injured in this horrible tragedy.

Please pray with with me for the families involved as well as those still on base. I pray that this will all be resolved soon and no more precious lives will be lost!

The Christian Jack-O-Lantern

Posted in God Things


The Christian
Jack-O-Lantern


I am a Jack O' Lantern
My light will shine so bright
For I am a Christian pumpkin
My symbols tell what's right.

My nose is like the cross
on which our Savior died
To set us free from sin
We need no longer hide.

My mouth is like a fish
The whole wide world to show
That Christians live in this house
And love their Savior so!

The story starts at Christmas
My eyes are like the star
That shone on Baby Jesus
And wise men saw from far

My color it is orange
Just like the big bright sun
That rose on Easter Day
Along with God's own Son.

And so on Halloween
Let's set our pumpkins out
And tell the trick or treaters
What God's love is all about!

To The Birthday Girl!

Posted in God Things


Today is a special day in our family. We are celebrating the birthday of our beautiful daughter, Bean. At 2:05 this afternoon, she will turn 21 years old. OMGosh!!! Is this possible? Where has the time gone?

How blessed we are that God has entrusted us with three amazing children to love and take care of. It is our responsibility, as parents, to raise them to love the Lord with all their heart, mind, body, and soul. We need to show our love to our children by living out our faith on a daily basis. Thank you, Father, for this awesome privilege!

WE LOVE YOU!

Please Pray With Me

Posted in God Things


Will you pray with me today for Mark Ruffner, a young man in our community, and his family. A few days ago he fell 38 feet, almost 4 stories, off the roof of a building in town. He had surgery this morning, which went well, but he still remains in critical condition. Please pray that God will heal him in a miraculous way and give his family the courage, strength, and peace they need during this difficult time.

Also, please pray for my friends, Gena, her husband, James, and their family. They have recently had their niece and her two children come to live with them and are now seeking a new home to purchase. They have an appointment with the realtor at 3:15 today to look at a house that seems very promising. Please pray that if this is the house that God has provided for them, that they will know it and everything will fall into place according to His will.

Thank you so much, my friends, for all your prayers lifted up in the name of Mark, Gena, and James. They are greatly appreciated!

Blessings~
Laura
