Greetings to all of you on this cool spring day. I trust that you experienced a great Mother's Day yesterday. What a fine celebration. I know that I especially enjoyed yesterday as I had the opportunity to offer some gifts that I had created. That always feels good. I hope that all of you mothers reading this had a wonderful time all day long. We appreciate you.
I want to thank everyone who assisted in distributing token gifts to the Mothers yesterday. I also want to thank Sue Warner and the King's Kids for sharing their song with us. Good job! I also thank the men and women who prepared and delivered communion yesterday. THANKS!

YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In the Book of Romans chapter 12 and verse 2, the will of God is revealed in the words, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." The command is double barreled... don't do that... do this. The will of God is that we are not to be controlled by ungodly influences, but rather by godly influences. The battlefield is the mind! Concentrate on being transformed (changed) for the better.
