Other News:
Why is it so hard to take action when God gives us direction? Maybe I'm the only one, but it certainly is hard for me. Worse yet, sometimes I (like Jonah) not only refuse to act but actually run the other direction! How sad! This week, if God has laid something on your heart - whether it be praying more, going to the mission field, making a charitable donation, talking to a lost soul, writing a note of kindness, confronting something in yourself or another person, or even telling a loved one that you love them - just pick one thing and determine to get it done within the next week. I trust it will be a blessing. If you're like me, the challenge will just be narrowing down my list :)

Thanks to ALL OF YOU for praying!! God bless you richly!!
