Liquid Blessings Today / Busy Weekend Ahead!

Sorry we haven't updated in a couple of days. My dad took a fall during his first night home, and ended up back in the hospital less than 12 hours from being released. He is doing much better (thanks to Dr. Napier), and should come home today.

We have a VERY BUSY weekend ahead.... it's raining here all day today, so it might may our preparations a little more challenging! Please pray for these groups that will be our guests this weekend:

Mabel White Baptist Church of Macon will be having a youth retreat. Shorter College will be housing a team here that will be ministering at the NASCAR race this weekend. Solid Rock Baptist Church of Covington will be here on Saturday for a team building event. We also have a dad and son that will be tent camping this weekend.

Shondi & I will be hosting our friends David and Liz Gibson who founded and operate Deer Run Retreat near Nashville, TN. We had the privilege of visiting with them during our recent fall break from school. If you are ever in the Nashville area, they have a beautiful place. Check them out at deerrunretreat.org

Our Pumpkin Patch day has been postponed until Monday due the the liquid blessing God is proving for us to today!

Verse(s) of the day:
Psalm 104 - CEV
The LORD Takes Care of His Creation
1I praise you, LORD God, with all my heart. You are glorious and majestic, dressed in royal robes
2and surrounded by light. You spread out the sky like a tent,
3and you built your home over the mighty ocean. The clouds are your chariot with the wind as its wings.
4The winds are your messengers, and flames of fire are your servants.
5You built foundations for the earth, and it will never be shaken.
6You covered the earth with the ocean that rose above the mountains.
7Then your voice thundered! And the water flowed
8down the mountains and through the valleys to the place you prepared.
9Now you have set boundaries, so that the water will never flood the earth again.
10You provide streams of water in the hills and valleys,
11so that the donkeys and other wild animals can satisfy their thirst.
12Birds build their nests nearby and sing in the trees.
13From your home above you send rain on the hills and water the earth.
14You let the earth produce grass for cattle, plants for our food,
15wine to cheer us up, olive oil for our skin, and grain for our health.
16Our LORD, your trees always have water, and so do the cedars you planted in Lebanon.
17Birds nest in those trees, and storks make their home in the fir trees.
18Wild goats find a home in the tall mountains, and small animals can hide between the rocks.
19You created the moon to tell us the seasons. The sun knows when to set,
20and you made the darkness, so the animals in the forest could come out at night.
21Lions roar as they hunt or the food you provide.
22But when morning comes, they return to their dens,
23then we go out to work until the end of day.
24Our LORD, by your wisdom you made so many things; the whole earth is covered with your living creatures.

Whatever It Takes,
Chip Moody
