If you were wondering how many times the word "love" was heard in Sunday's
sermon, the answer is FIVE times.
*++++Sharing of Joys and Concerns from Sunday, September 17, 2017*
- Dama - pray for our family and for Teddy. We are going through a
difficult time.
- Mary Alexander - pray for my dad with medical problems and pain. Also,
my Florida relatives are okay after the hurricane.
- Janice - my son's mother in law passed away last week after a struggle
with lung cancer. Her death comes as our granddaughter turns two next week.
- Peggy - pray for my neighbor Amanda and her daughter who attempted
suicide.
- Dolly - I like the quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. - "I have decided
to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
