Notes From Pastor Anthony’s Desk;
This
morning as I write this piece I am just a couple of hours away from Evan and I meeting a friend of mine and going to play a round of
golf. Lord willing I will then come home and shower and shave and carry on with
another day in my life. This is a privilege that countless of other people like
myself don’t have this morning and very well may not have for a great while to
come because of the devastation caused by “Katrina”. Forget about the
golf, but just the honor of being with my boys, my friend and having a home to
come back to has taken on new meaning to me.
Have
any of you tried to explain this to your children or grandchildren yet? Have
you thought about the possibility that what we have known as “
We
never know what a day might bring to our lives. The Bible warns us of bragging
about our tomorrows before our todays are complete. And we often find ourselves
saying rather mindlessly that everything is in God’s hands. But this is a true
fact on the
It
troubles me to hear people try and make this out to be a race situation; one
said if most of the refugees had not been black help would come sooner. Some
have tried to make it political, blaming our President for how things are being
handled. This is not the time to try and push across our own personal agendas
and views. It is time that as a Nation we start giving ourselves the type of
help that we have routinely given others and pull together and see this great
land of ours through this literal storm.
What
can we do, you may be asking? Give what you can. We will take up a special
offering in the next week or two for the relief effort. Pray when you can. Keep
these people and the ones that are working to help them on praying lips, For
God is our only hope.
In
my prayers,
Pastor
Anthony
