Thank You
I would like to thank those who organized
our class reunion for September 10.1 had
a great time seeing my classmates and
their spouses, it brought back many fond
memories. The fellowship and conversation
was worth the trip.
There is a lot of darkness in our world as
well as compassion, fortunately, my class
fell into the latter category. „
k Thank you again for such a nice time
Sincerely,
Vern Hardison (Beany)

THE POWER OF PRAYER
MATTHEW 6:6 (NRSV)
“ But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door
and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father
who sees in secret will reward you.”
One of the most neglected practices in our spiritual walk is
that of prayer. Prayer is to your spiritual life as breathing is
to your natural life. I would like to suggest to you that many
of us are fighting a losing battle simply because we don’t pray
enough. You would be amazed at the number of people who have
encountered serious adversity in relationships, marriages, issues
with their children, etc. and still choose not to take it to the Lord
in prayer. 2nd Corinthians 10:3-4 helps to shed more light on
the power of prayer, it reads as follows:
3 Indeed, we live as human beings, but we do not wage war
according to human standards; 4 for the weapons of our
warfare are not merely human, but they have divine power
to destroy strongholds. Simply put, arguing and fighting to
solve your problems have no power. Everything you need to walk
in victory has already been placed inside of you by our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. I would like to encourage you today to
embark on a new spiritual journey. First I would ask you to pray
for ALL of your opposition, enemies included! Secondly I would
ask to continue in prayer on a daily basis, not just when trouble
comes. Thirdly I would just say this: The next time trouble comes
your way, don’t say it! Pray it! Give God a chance, he hasn’t let
me down yet!
God Bless!
