The Missing Link!

There's a sad, missing link in bloggy world today: followers photos appear to be MIA. I have checked everything, and they're simply not there. Part of the joy of blogging is seeing the faces that make this so much fun every time I pull up my blog. SO.....I'll wait, and hopefully Blogger will get this figured out. I checked my sweetie's blog, and his follower photos are missing also. Anyone else out there having this same problem?

Our Church Family

Isaiah 56:7 "Even those I will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples."

Dearest blogging friends, I would like to tell you a bit about where my family and I fellowship each week. Our church is called Covenant of Grace Christian Fellowship. I have the privilege of leading worship for this wonderful multi-generational, multi-national group of believers each week. Better than anything (yes, better than leading worship) is the joy of rubbing elbows with people that I may not even understand 50% of what they say because they're new to America by way of Myanmar or Africa. May I tell you that they challenge ME in worship! From the platform I am able to observe their fervency in worship, their love for the Lord, their willingness to attend and serve diligently week after week after week because they're simply thankful, truly thankful. Thankful for freedom, thankful for opportunity, thankful for life itself.

During the last two weeks two of our families that are new to America have been hit by a cars, one of them as a pedestrian. They're "o.k." physically speaking, hospitalized, but they're alive and we thank the Lord for that. Please join me in praying for God's fullest purpose and destiny to be fulfilled in their lives. They have come for a reason. Their love for the Lord shines like a beacon. I am enclosing a note from one of our Pastors so that there could be names to attach to this request.

"Hi everyone, Please pray for Kee Ha (Burmese man in our church). He was hit by a car last night while riding to minister to some of our Burmese young people. He's in St. Josephs. Len and Moses are there now. I believe he is ok, will update. Also remember Awee Livingstone still recovering from broken bones in an accident."

Let us join together in faithful, fervent prayer. God is greater than the most overwhelming need any of us may be aware of!

How To Add Buttons

I'm techno-slow, but with persistance I've finally learned how to add buttons! This was my resource. Blogging Basics 101 coached me through adding my favorite buttons. You'll be seeing more of these little guys popping up all over my bloggy garment in the near future.

I have a longing to read through the Bible this year, and I finally found a plan I really like. Here it is! I am printing out a copy to keep in my Bible. I love that I can read "row by row," or column by column. Here's how it's set up:

Sunday-----Epistles
Monday-----The Law
Tuesday----History
Wednesday--Psalms
Thursday---Poetry
Friday-----Prophecy
Saturday---Gospels

I can either read through all the Epistles at one time, for example, or I can take a sampling of the 7 categories throughout the week....or even more, skip around. My friend Keelie at Red Writing is also reading through the Bible, and you might enjoy visiting her blog to read more on what she is doing this year. Blessings, and Happy New Year, Everyone!

Thanks, Kraft!

And now, for a word of appreciation from this Mother's throbbing tonsils to the makers of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese: "Thanks!" Our once menu-less evening is now complete .
