To church or not to go to church
I miss going to my last church for the fellowship and friends that I had. It was a Christian and Missionary Alliance church that I had attended in Ketchikan AK that was a very, very good church; they really got together in home groups and studied the bible, met and prayed together and ate together. I loved that church; I truly felt like that was as close as it was supposed to be. They still had the Sunday morning church but that fellowship gatherings they had was awesome. I really, really miss it.
I have been in churches down south (lower 48 to y'all) where it was more like an organization rather than believers gathering to worship God. I've been to churches where they preach about tithing and the world's troubles and turmoil and go a whole sermon without giving a msg of salvation and I always left feeling like I missing something here.
The hardest part of living in Alaska is being so far away from my old friends and family which are located down south. Especially now that my mom's been diagnosed with colon cancer, my husband's mother had a heart attack and is ailing in a nursing home, my foot has numerous fractures and I've had to wear a walking cast for over a month now with no end in sight and that's why my title is...Dear God, help me enjoy the joy.
A cool site to check out is Randy Alcorn's website: www.epm.org
I would also seriously recommend his books (I've read the fiction) - they are terrific!

What happens when God says no?
As usual I was reading the Bible and I had one of Max Lucado's "In the Grip of Grace" open. The theme of the section was "contentment" and and the verse being studied was Phil 4:6 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Mr. Lucado was telling a story about his little girl when she fell in a pool and rescued by a neighbor friend. So in Mr. Lucado's prayers, he was telling God how wonderful He was for saving… Continue

When I threw out this SC invite, I didn't know if I'ld be hearing from you because I wasn't even sure the email was still operable. I'm just delighted to see you here.
And this is an awesome place to spend time knowing the Lord "together." I just love this place. I pray you'll also be making some new friends in Him.
Talk to you later,
Your brother,
Clark

- Hey Ginny. I'm glad to see you're back! And I'm glad you were able to connect to SC up there in Alaska. I hope to see you develop your site here and would love to see some of your comments and thoughts regarding our Lord Jesus Christ and what He is doing in your life. I hope you are finding fellowship up there. If not, this might be a place to connect with others.
Great picture Ginny. Luv the hat.
