TAMMY FAYE BAKER
Saw a clip of Tammy Faye Baker (Messner) last night on the Larry King Live show and the poor thing is dying of cancer and looks horrible. I feel so bad for her. This once vibrant woman has wasted away to nothing (65 lbs) and looks it. It's a shock to see death in her face. But the miraculous thing is her Spirit is still strong. Her love for the Lord and her witness to Him is what matters. She is my sister in the Lord and I'm praying for her. Yes, she knows where she is going when she leaves this earth and that is her hope, that's what keeps her strong in her physical weakness. Her dying brings God glory.
"For we know that in the tent, which is our earthly home, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent, we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened--not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared for us this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
So we are always of good courage...." 2 Corinthians 5:1-6a

MURPHY'S LAW OR GOD'S TESTING
Why does it always happen that when I need my Canon copy machine to work, for a heavy print load, it doesn't! Mr. Murphy always puts his law into action during Easter week, Christmas week and today. I'm talking about trying to print church bulletins during a heavy print week and having the machine not cooperate. My machine is out of order due to constant jams!! For a secretary going on vacation and needing to have the next two Sunday bulletins done by tomorrow this is horrible!! I must calm myself down. .........deep breath......breath out.....
I did put my call into the service dept but when they'll come out who knows. When my machine is down it seems like all Long Beach copy machines are down!
What I've described above always happens during Holy Week before Easter as I have to do Maundy Thursday, Good Friday (noon & evening service, both different). and Easter Sunday double the number.
At Christmas Christmas Eve (morning & night) and Christmas day and Sunday if its before or after.
I shouldn't be surprised, it happens all the time, and I'm not making this up!! I should be aware of the schemes of the enemy to get me miffed and anxious or maybe God is teaching me about patience. Trusing in him to get things in order, to make it right. Every year when I go through this same scene it always works out. I have never had to go to Kinko's to have them do the job. It's always worked out fine. And it will today too. I still have tomorrow and worse case scenerio I'll have to come in Saturday and finish, BUT it will get done.
So with that off my chest, I will thank God for His presence, His peace and laugh with Him as we wave Mr. Murphy good-bye. No sad faces here and anxiety. The Master of the Universe is my spiritual repairman.
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want,
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul." Ps. 23:1-3a
