Okay , so let me tell you a crude, but poignant story. I once knew a man who was older and began to have problems using the bathroom. He ate all sorts of fiber, took medicine and nothing really helped. Eventually they had to remove part of his intestine and attach a bag for him to deficate. [Notice my choice use of words to describe 'poop']

So, when I have a great bowel movement. I praise God. Sounds funny? Well, it is, but none the less, when I use the bathroom I thankGod. Whether big or small I praise Him because he is good and always provides (sometimes twice a day).   

I know my Mom praises God for good parking spots at the grocery store.  

What about you? What are some funny or odd things you find yourself praising God for?

Thanks to all of you who were praying over yesterday’s banquet. It was an amazingly encouraging event.

When all was said and done we raised over $33,000! Praise God for his goodness.

I’m not just excited about the funds (which go towards scholarships, operating budgets, getting a van and more), I was also so impressed with the people that attended. It was great to fellowship with such fine folks.

And that’s not all. Many people that attended are still interested in giving, it just takes time to pray and think it over, so our goal of raising$36,000 is very much attainable over the next few weeks.

I am very thankful for all those who helped, attended, and prayed over this event. Thank you all!
