Standing Knee-Deep in a River Dying of Thirst by Kathy Mattea

Does God Love the Muslims?

My Pastor gave a very convicting and powerful talk on Sunday about the Muslims and Jews. You can listen to the talk by clicking on the MP3 player in the right-hand column.

He starts out talking about Paul and his decision to return to Jerusalem...but take the time to listen to the very end of the talk...it is worth waiting for. Pastor Mark is truly moved by the Spirit in what he says about Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac and how all that took place so long ago relates to what is happening today with the Muslims and Jews.

Please take 45-minutes and have a listen.

G3 2nd Quarter Potluck

We had a great time at the G3 Potluck this last weekend at Carrie's home. You'll see some new faces in our group photo.

Sharon brought Billie (my right) who is a member of our small group Bible study and attends Hillcrest church.

Carrie invited Mary (center) who I know through Sheila.

(Oh yes...the little munchkins: Isaiah is Carrie's boy sitting on Sharon's lap and Koren is Mary's son).

We had a great time together. We sure did laugh a lot and had a wonderful time relaxing and stepping out of the routine of our lives for three hours. A BIG thank you to Carrie for hosting us...she and Corey live in a pretty little house located on a big wooden lot in Mesquite.

Corey kept offering to grill some BBQ or "pick up" some wings for us...he was such a cutie. As we were about to leave we gathered together for prayer and Corey joined our prayer circle.
