Our Texas Neighbors
There are going to be many story lines arise from this terrible weather outbreak we witnessed today. We here in Alabama know all too well just what these people are going through, and what they will soon have to endure in their recovery.
Many, many homes have been destroyed, but more than that, many cherished family pictures, heirlooms, and basic essentials have been lost forever.
Let us keep these people in our prayers, and support efforts to increase severe weather alert capabilities.
May GOD be with each of you.

A Prayer We Should All Pray
Father, I have a problem. It's weighing heavy on me. It's all I can think about,
night and day. Before I bring it to you in prayer. I suppose I should pray for
those who are less fortunate than me. Those in this world who have hardly enough
food for this day, and for those who don't have a roof over their heads at
night.
I also pray for families who have lost loved ones in sudden death, for parents whose children have leukemia, for the many people who are dying of brain tumors, for the hundreds of thousands who are laid waste with other terrible cancers, for people whose bodies have been suddenly shattered in car wrecks, for those who are lying in the hospital with agonizing burns over their bodies, whose faces have been burned beyond recognition.
I pray for people with emphysema, whose eyes fill with terror as they struggle for every breath merely to live, for those who are tormented beyond words by irrational fears, for the elderly who are wracked with the pains of aging.
I pray for people who are watching their loved ones fade before their eyes through the grief of Alzheimer's disease, for the many thousands who are suffering the agony of AIDS, for those who are in such despair they are thinking of suicide, for people who are tormented by the demons of alcoholism and drug addiction.
I pray for children who have been abandoned by their parents, for those who are sexually abused, for wives held in quiet despair, beaten and abused by cruel and drunken husbands, for people whose minds have been destroyed by mental disorders, for those who have lost everything in floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes.
I pray for the blind, who never see the faces of the ones they love, or the beauty of a sunrise, for those whose bodies are horribly deformed by painful arthritis, for the many whose lives will be taken from them today by murderers, for those wasting away on their death beds.
Most of all, I cry out for the millions who don't know the forgiveness that is in Jesus Christ... for those who in a moment of time will be swept into eternity without experincing the saving power of Jesus by the cold hand of death. Oh God, I pray for them.
Strange.... I can't seem to remember what my problem was.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen!

The Wedding Guest
There are times in the life of each person where critical decisions are made. Some are readily noticeable as really important. Others? Not so much.
Take for instance your wedding day. Many important decisions were made to get to the actual day of your marriage, the least of which was to either ask someone for their hand in matrimony, or answer the question.
What about your choice of music? Is that important?
You have carefully chosen when, where, and even what colors will be worn during the ceremony. You had to pick and choose whom you wanted as bridesmaids, and groomsmen. Even whom to invite, and not to invite were choices you may have struggled with.
Did you forget the most important guest? I certainly hope not. You won't have to plan on feeding this guest. No rooms will need to be reserved, no parking space will be needed, nor any special seating planned for their comfort.
I ask that you invite your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into your marriage plans. It's an insurance policy, and a warm comforter all in one. The best thing is, it's never too late to invite him into your marriage. I pray that each of you are blessed with the comfort that his word can bring into your lives as husband and wife.
GOD Bless....
