Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord

By Patricia A. Sherrick

There is much more to be had in knowing Christ as our Saviour. Have we given Him all of us; our time, our talents, our days. There is so much more we can do for Him. He wants our lives to be an open book before Him. Do we have an angry thought toward someone? Give it to Jesus- wipe the plate clean and start over.

AMERICA

BY THE SKIN OF YOUR TEETH

Wake up America. We are sliding downhill fast here in America. Our Government doesn’t seem to care about our great country of the United States. I fear many believers in Christ will get into Heaven, just by the skin of their teeth.

Lord, I am not eloquent in my writings; I simply put down on paper what is on my mind. I fear many are counting on their wealth, what little they have left, their friends, their jobs to get them through today’s rough spots.

We had a good Easter service yesterday; also a good breakfast at church to start with and the children in our kids ·zone met for a short time before morning church service. Lord, Cari’ s heart is soft and I believe she is ready for baptism and church membership; Alyssa is ready too. Just give them the confidence they need to go forward and meet with one of our pastors.

Father, we need teachers desperately in our Kid Zone. I just can’t trust how my Parkinsons will act or else I would be one of the teachers. What is the answer Lord? There must be some folks in the church who would be willing and able to teach.

BILLOWY SOFT CLOUDS

In the overhead sky on a clear summer day, you can view many images in the clouds. You have to have a vivid imagination. One day soon, our Lord Jesus will break through the clouds in what we as believers know as the rapture. He is coming to bring those who have died and know Him as Saviour and those of us who are alive and remaining will He bring with Him. What a glorious day that will be…

We Christians look forward to the rapture; but, things are going so drastically wrong here in America with fightings and killings within the family structure: and so many countries fighting about who is to take the leadership within their country.

It isn’t just bordering countries, but such crimes are happening within the United States. Children are fighting against parents; some parents have lost their jobs due to this president’s lack of leadership. Our president would like to see all America coming to worship at his feet, and people coming to the government for their every need. Stand up America, fight against this socialistic form of government.

A DOCTOR’S CARE

MANY YEARS OF CARING

Dr. J. Stephen Sandy, M.D.

Dear Dr. Sandy:

Our last child, Carin, is now 34 years old and I can remember you as a young doctor, there in the delivery room; I was 36 at the time of her birth. Jim and I have really been blessed to have you as our doctor over the years.

You always have had a great bedside manner in our family needs. We wish you and your wife the
