Hold Fast, Help is on the Way, Hold Fast He's come to Save the Day! 

What I've learned in my life, One thing Greater then my Strife

Is HIS Grasp, So Hold Fast

I've got a lot on my mind today.  Seems like so many around me are hurting and confused with the world.  They sang this song at church today and it always reminds me to be strong in the Lord.  We are also doing a 40 Day Thinking Fast with our church.  Today's thought (day 13) that stuck with me:  I am in the will of God when I am abiding in Love.  Everything comes together in our life when we believe the love that God has for us.  The great commandment - love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself - this is the will of God.  This all begins with believing the love God has toward us. (1 John 4:16)  We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us.  God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in Him."

Our friend, Kirk Marbut died unexpectedly this weekend.  We continue to pray for Rhonda and her kids.
