An Epistle from Paul:
An Epistle from Paul:
The Product of Necessity! A farm grass fire got out of hand; so,
the farmer called the Logansport, Indiana fire department. The fire
proved to be too much for their equipment; so, reinforcements were
called in from nearby Kokomo, Indiana. The wind picked up however,
and the two big city fire departments failed to contain this out of
control grass fire.
It was under these circumstances that someone laughingly
suggested sending for the fire department from the little town,
Young America, Indiana. Well, someone did just that. Four
volunteers and a beat-up fire truck were soon on their way to this
fire. When they arrived they came roaring up to the fire and drove
right out into the middle of it. They started spraying water and
chemical every which way Guess what happened? Yes, it was this
little volunteer fire department from Young America that eventually
put this fire out.
Afterwards, the grateful farmer presented the Young America Fire
Department with a check for $1,000.00. Hoosier Tom Captain Stubby
Faust was there with his tape recorder. He asked the chief, What
are you going to do with the $1,000.00? The chief replied, Well,
the first thing were going to do is get the brakes fixed on that
truck!
In the Body of Christ, each member must function with what the
Lord has equipped them to contribute in the total work of the
Church. 1 Corinthians 12:23-24 addresses the fact that often we
give greater honor to the parts of the Body who appear more
significant/important; whereas, the Lord often uses the members of
lesser honor to accomplish His purposes. The point is clear: our
Lord uses the product of necessity to accomplish His ends rather
than focusing on the extra gifted to get the job done!!
In His Marvelous Love, Paul

Set Them Back!
Just a quick reminder that we are to set our clocks back one
hour a week from this coming Sunday. Something about Daylight
Saving Time and reverting back to Eastern Standard Time. This will
give us a little daylight in the morning and will take away a whole
lot of daylight in the evening. Honestly, does this make any sense
to any of us? Just asking!!!
Our Next Luncheon!
We invite all to join us, Wednesday, November 16th at 12 noon.
We will be gathering at the IHOP in Richmond for our monthly
luncheon together. This will be our first attempt in using this
restaurant for this gathering. We anticipate some really good food,
solid fellowship and a challenging time of devotions in the Word.
We hope you will plan now to join us at this establishment
