Two brothers helping paint the church in Leogone last year.

Good morning. .  Up before the alarm - did not sleep well.  Wet and cool this morning. It is a beautiful morning, well almost.

Day 1711 - Living "MNTY" one day at a time.  Today, I will remember that "He who abides in Him has the power to walk like him; not in himself or his own efforts but in Jesus, who prefects His strength in our weakness." ("Like Christ" by Andrew Murray)

Today is MMM and work at the FS.  It is Wednesday - dollar day - it will be busy.  Jeff was 'sick' yesterday.  I had to run the register for him.  It is Gorki's day off - if Jeff is still "sick" it will be a tough day.  A & E this morning and  Bible Study at Church tonight.  Not sure what Doris and our company is doing today - sure they will try to get to the beach sometime.

Thought I had a doctor's appointment today but no one called.  I will drop by the office after MMM and check with them.

Snake Road did not pick up the Expo yet - hope they get to it today.  I want to get it out of sight and out of mind.

Yesterday was a good day.  Well not all that good, but good enough - made it through.  Went to the gym and felt better physically but still am thinking that nothing matters and no body cares!  I think that I would feel better if I realized that nothing matters and no body cares. 

Tomorrow is Thursday - off Friday!  Maybe do something with Jean and Marv - I would like to go back to St. Augustine but neither Marv or Doris can do much walking.   But have a lot of things I need to do so maybe we will just go out to eat and to see "American Sniper."

MY RUDDER AND ANCHOR

Psalm 66:5 - Come an see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.

Proverbs 14:26 - In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge.

The Word is Alive in 1 - 5  (Reading Genesis 40-42)  Adverse circumstances do not deter ultimate conquest.

From "Knowing God" by J. I. Packer:  Knowing vs Knowing About - The question is, can we say that we have known God, and that because we have known God, being Christian is more important that being called a Christian.

A & E @ McD - Complained about everything, then talked about John Wayne and Clint Eastwood's best movies.  And decided that the happier we are with what we have the less unhappy we are with what we do not have.  The kids in Haiti have taught us that.

Saved by Grace . . . Living by Faith,
Mike

The Gladness of Jesus Christ; 

 Salvation is not mainly the forgiveness of sins,

but mainly the fellowship of Jesus (I Corinthians 1:9).  Forgiveness gets everything out of the way so this can happen.

(John Piper in "Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ)
