Dear Father in Heaven: I love You! Thank You very, very much for Your loving hands of protection on both Dolores and also me, Lord. Thanks for watching over all families using this line and know that I appreciate all You do for me and for this line. Lord, please watch over Your people, and please, Lord, may we pick up the news and see good things. Praise God we have our Bibles which is full of Good News and we have You, Father, and Your Son and the Holy Ghost. Thank You for being very open with me. Pour out Your Spirit on those using this line. Please, Lord, help me with the message and to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, it was indeed a beautiful spring day here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. Please, brothers and sisters, pray for Dolores and also for me. Last night I fell again, sitting on the side of the bed, I dozed off and fell head first off the bed. (Pray after you finish laughing.) God did catch me on the way down and I did not hit solid things. Just twisted myself some. Today, Dolores fell backwards, and again all glory to God for taking her down softly. She was/is not hurt. The problem came with me lifting her back up, but again thanks to God, who just gave me a burst of strength, and up she came. Again, all honor and glory to God, however, covering us with prayers would be a help. By the way, I am going to work with my son-in-law, Jeff the plumber, and see about putting a seatbelt on the toilet. I did a header one night off the toilet also. Would that make it a header off the "head?" Now again when you are all finished laughing, please pray. Let me get to the message.

Monday: April 13, 2015: Feed 'em (Day Two)

Romans 12:17 - Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. 20 On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will  heap burning coals on his head." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (NIV)

If you ever see our ministry trailer and the truck we pull it with, you would notice a few things. One, we have crosses on both vehicles with the Status of Liberty in the distance. It is the artist's view of Neil Enloe's song, "The Cross is My Statue of Liberty." Also on the vehicles is the "Horn of Plenty" with the Bible and lettered "Feeding the Body and the Soul." So today we look at the scripture that tells us that we indeed should feed our enemies. The Word tells us "if your enemy is hungry, feed him." The best way to get to the heart of someone who does not like you is to give him food. Mamma would tell me you "catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar." So we try and fill their bellies as we talk to them about Salvation. Think about it. Let God deal with their salvation and their just punishment. I know this sounds hard, but with our Lord Jesus and the power of The Holy Spirit in our corner, we need to do this. Besides that, is love not better than hate? We are commanded by God to "Love our neighbors!" I 100% believe that our Lord wants us to feed the hungry, with food for the body and food for the soul.

Dear Father, sometimes it is hard to look at people who hate us and love them, but if we follow the lead of Your Son Jesus, who loved/loves everyone, even those who deny Him, we can do this, but we are weaker and need Your touch. Love You, Lord, and pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Now go forth and share your blessings, and please feed the body and the soul. Yes, feed some bread and the Word. Love ya. Please share my love.
