PRAYER REQUEST FOR BETTY: You would think that Betty has had enough afflictions without adding another but here is a new one. Several weeks ago she started having double vision. We took her for an eye exam and the doctor ordered a brain MRI to make sure there were no brain tumors involved, considering her other cancer problems. Thankfully no tumors were found. Apparently sets of nerves are causing the double vision. Usually after about six months or so they correct themselves. She is wearing a patch to help avoid the double vision for now. Please pray this condition will correct itself in a short time, as it is quite difficult to deal with. She doesn’t complain and takes all these things in stride.
PATTY SURPRISE: My daughter Patty gave us a pleasant surprise this month and flew in for a few days. What a joy and a delight having her help and presence from Tuesday through Sunday and returning home on Monday. Then on Thursday she & Al had to drive out to Kansas to be there for the birth of a new grandchild early on Saturday morning by “C” Section, Abigail. Lynne Lee (ALL). Pray for Laura as she heals from the surgery. She and Mark are going to have their hands full with three small children, each fourteen months apart. I think that makes my 10th great grandchild, plus two on Betty’s side.
NOTRE DAME & OBAMA: Notre Dame has schedule conferring an Honorary Doctorate on President Barack Obama in May. Many alumni and others are up in arms over this. Notre Dame is a highly esteemed Catholic University representing their faith as well as high academic standards. Obama’s early on decision to approve funding international abortions and lifting the ban on stem cell research is contrary to Catholic faith and is thus raising serious questions in the minds of faithful and church leadership. Without a question it is seen as hypocritical and many are having a problem understanding the Universities decision. I am sure cancellation of conferring this honorary doctorate is out of the question but certain should be cancelled as a rebuff of President Obama’s immoral stance.
FOREVER STAMPS; Be sure to stock up on the Forever Stamps before the postage rate goes up so you can save a couple cents on postage for a while. These rate increases hurt Christian mailers as well as others and speaks to the trouble the U. S. Postal service is in. They are laying off more people and are talking of ending Saturday delivery of the mail. Times are changing and the cost of living and ministry is going up
ONE WORLD MONEY; China, France and other countries are calling for new money for the U.S.A. and others that would destroy the dollar. Such a move would also move us closer to the One World Order setting the stage for the Anti-Christ. Hopefully our government is smarter than that but I am beginning to wonder. Obama has just left for the G20 Summit meeting in an effort to get other countries to go along with his plan to spend their way into a stronger economy. One British parliamentarian has strongly condemned Obama and Brown for their financial plans. Thankfully a few are crying out.
MORE ON TATOOS; My son Gary sent the following: “I saw an article about a youth pastor who encouraged his students to go with him to get “Christian” tattoos, like the ones he proudly displayed, covering his own body. I guess he didn’t know that his actions and his tattoos were a form of idolatry, a mimicry of satanistic practices, as well as an act strictly forbidden by God.”
“Moses wrote in Leviticus 19:28: “You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, NOR TATTOO ANY MARKS ON YOU. I AM the LORD.” (NKVJ)
“I guess he was more interested in gaining a following for himself, rather than leading his students into gaining a personal knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ.”
