The Southern Tour

Once a month I try to get down to our good friends in Franklin. I go down to the Methodist Community to see Myrna Beck, Frances Kissel, and Doris Vandine. After the Monday prayer breakfast, I saw Myrna as she was doing her physical therapy. She looked great, had a great attitude, and was doing remarkably well with her "rehab." She was on her feet, using a walker, and the therapist challenged her to go faster and faster. God is good and he looks after His own!
I prayed with her and headed down the hall to find Frances getting her laundry ready to do. She is an amazing lady. She is very "together." She told me what all her kids were doing and what her grandkids were doing. Then she corrected me about who was related to who among New Palestine families. We then tried to call Doris and invite her to lunch but couldn't get her on the phone. So I went down to her house. She seemed to be doing great! We are blessed to have these fabulous servants for Christ in our church family.

OMG

Oh my goodness, Oh my gosh, or even Oh my God...
My Sunday School class discussed OMG Sunday. IS the saying blasphemous? Or is it just calling on the majesty of our Lord? I prefer to look at is as a positive thing. Most of the time when it is used it is reflecting the awesomeness of our God. If we see or hear an OMG it gives us the opportunity to talk about God. Perhaps to even say to the speaker...oh I am glad to hear you're a Christian.

This past weekend the tragedy that happened at the Fairgrounds brought lots of OMGs. Some people suffered great loss there, but it also gave thousands of people a chance to show their Christlike behaviors helping others. As much as we need to pray and support those who suffered or are still in pain, we also must praise God for His sending many "angels" of care who stepped up to help in many ways.

May God bless those who helped save lives and even put themselves in harms way in order to serve others. OMG...they can be proud!
