LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!!!
Well, two ways I have been enlightened, one the simple solution, I bought a ladder and replaced some bulbs in the sanctuary here and it really made a difference in the members ability to read the scripture during our bible study,-I felt so bad that we had only 2 bulbs remaining when I changed the rest, and now we have 8 bulbs cascading down with light and warmth, and 300 watts of light. (they are old fixtures) But we are blessed because last night at pizza church we had 24 members there, and 10 of them read for us from the bible as we studied about Ruth and her love, and support for Naomi, and being faithful no matter what. Giving us an example of how we can be faithful and how God is there for us. I think this is a miracle because frankly, 2 or 3 usually read. and yesterday, we seemed to whip right through the reading, and the folks understood, and were moved. We are also relating scriptures week to week with our theme "Ways Jesus would want us to be Faithful." I give bonus points (leftover halloween candy) for the people who can remember back to scriptures in previous weeks and remember why we talked about those people and what the lesson was. IT WORKS PRETTY WELL!

Oh I said two ways I have been enlightened. I appreciate all of the concern, for members that I have been writing about. People have been posting comments however difficult, and emailing me, but the most regular response has been that names should be protected. I will be sure to use more pronouns and false names to protect those who I am talking about. Unless permission is provided. I am new at this web based publishing, and I understand now that the world does need to hear the witness of Jesus working here, the world is still enriched by not name dropping. Thank you all those out there for your guidance and direction, and don't be afraid to email if you want to leave comments, I know this blogspot situation is hard to respond to.

Here is my email again for those of you that may want to write to us here.

Thank you for being supportive, and if you notice, the names in the testimonies have been changed for protective purposes.
