A matter of prayer

Body
Recently I went to get my knee examined, which has been bothering me for a good while. After the x-rays, I went in to see the doctor he suggested. I needed a total knee replacement. They have me scheduled for knee replacement soon. Before I became a Christian my prayer might be, “God help me!” usually out of the situation I was in. But after I accepted Jesus as my Lord and personal Savior, my prayers changed drastically, (2Corinthisans 5:17, Isaiah 41:10, Philippians 4:13). I believe I learned a lot about prayer from my mother when I was little. She would come in almost every night and tuck me in bed and then she would say a prayer or had me say a little prayer.

‘ROUND TOWN

No doubt about it. Our town has some up-and-coming rough and tumbling talent. Madisonville youngsters Darren Grimm and Brody Pipes competed last weekend in Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo competitions and showed the Houston folks what kind of kiddos we raise here in Madisonville.
