Lazarus

Pastor Dave and Mama Gina wit their boys in Buen Pastor in 2008.

Jeremy and Amy are coming this week with a team from Oklahoma. They come often and are always a blessing. She actually came and stayed for more than a month with the younger boys.

Vanessa and her helpers did the hair of all the girls in Esperanza up. They did it comically and had everything from school supplies, ribbons, food containers, etc. in the hair. The girls loved it. I had to pick 3 winners and that was so difficult especially since I did not want to offend any of them.

Michelle went for the weekend with Tony and Lily. She loves being with them.

Larry from NC preached on Lazarus and I believe it was the best sermon I have heard on that passage of scripture.

Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me and I will hearken unto you.” God is always thinking about His children You and I are not forsaken. And that truth is what keeps us going. Can you believe th at He who created the universe and us ourselves is thinking about you.

Father God you are HOLY. Revelation 15:4 “Who will not fear, O Lord and glorify your name? For you alone are Holy.” The Bible pictures God as “The Holy One”. Pink said, “God only is independently, infinitely and immutably holy. He is absolute purity, unsullied even by the shadow of sin:”
