Thursday 7/18/2013 Get Set

Dear Father in Heaven, good morning, Lord, and thanks for waking us this day, and thanks for waking those who read the messages each day.  Thanks for taking care of families and friends, and not just our family but all families, even those who want nothing to do with You.  Dear Lord, please be with those prodigal children we had listed and so many more kids and adults who have walked away from You like I did years ago.  Thank You for taking me back.  Lord, please be with those we list for prayers, and today, Lord, I have this special request ... please watch over Martin Lehman and take care of him.  Please, dear Lord, please let me have him for a few more years.  But as always, Thy will be done.  Lord, now please help me with the message and then dispatch it for me.  In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Pastor Dan's Safety Tip:  Watch out for alligators on the highway.  This time of year you will see alligators on the highway and you do not need to be in Florida to see them!!  Alligators is the truck drivers' term for tires that come apart.  Most are retreaded tire that lose their top when they get hot.  So beware, ALLIGATORS ARE EVERYWHERE!!

Praise Report, Grand and I brought home an estimated 500 pounds of food last evening.  I estimated that as I WATCHED Grant carry the boxes.  Praise report, while I still need prayers for pain, I now have it back under control.  Thanks for all who pray each day.

Good morning, dear brothers and sisters.  I start today by asking for you to pray for our beloved K9 Martin.  Martin has been a "Gospel Dog" all of his life.  I purchased Martin when he was five weeks old, and starting right then he traveled with us to gospel concerts and has been even under the pulpit when I preached a few times in churches before I went to The Bridges to pastor ten years ago.  Martin has been a charmer at nursing homes for all of his 15 years.  Martin is now in an animal hospital in Carlisle under the care of Dr. Heather Henry.  I know you understand our love for animals, but Martin is very special to us.

Prayer requests continue for Vicki, Burt and Patsy, for Barbara X 2 right now.  Also Ruby, Curtis, and for Wade, 6 year-old we anointed at the football field last evening.  Please pray again for our food drive which goes on today yet.  And of course please keep praying for peace, and folks, please lift Reverend Al Sharpton and Reverend Jesse Jackson to God.  I have never heard these men talk about salvation, it seems they just want to push for trouble.  Pray, warriors, pray.

Now to the message of today, and remember, we are having communion tomorrow, so bring "The Body and The Blood" with you tomorrow.

Thursday July 18, 2013, Getting Set.

Luke 22:7 - Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.  8 Jesus sent Peter and John saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."

It is 9:14 A.M. and I just got a call that Martin passed away.  I must go get his body.  I will try and finish the message tonight.

Love ya, Pastor Dan
