Standing outside the church door

4 years ago By News Staff
Last Sunday when I arrived at church I took the side door into the dining area. There he stood quietly not moving just watching me. You could see he had a tough life by the numerous scars. I thought as I looked at him, he came here to get help. I went to the refrigerator and found some biscuits. I took one to the door and reached down to give it to him. He very carefully took it from my hand and went over and laid down and slowly ate the biscuit. I went back inside several times and got him more to eat. Seeing that old dog reminds me of something in life and the Bible. Today there are many people all around us in bad shape but they do not want God in their life. Oh, they want a better life or one morecomfortable, just not God. We do see a few people showing up at church wanting help. The Bible says if we will draw near to Him He will draw unto us, (James 4:6- 10, 1 Peter 5:6-8). Sadly many will never find that help that is available to all, (Hebrews 3:7-19). Oh, but to repent/confess our sins and call upon Jesus to be our Lord and Savior. It is there we find peace with God and that wonderful joy and contentment, (John 3:16, Romans 1:16, 2 Timothy 1:12)

Update from the State Capitol

4 years ago By Guest Column Dist. 57 Rep. Trent Ashby
As our nation observes the twentieth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, join me in remembering the nearly 3,000 Americans that lost their lives to this senseless act of violence. I remember the sorrow of that morning like it was yesterday, but also the feeling of unity that overtook our country in the following months. Communities gathered to comfort those who lost friends and relatives, but also to reflect on the dedication and strength shown by those who responded so fearlessly. God bless the everlasting memory and sacrifice of the Americans we lost that day.
