Prayer Request

Please continue to keep Joy Albea in your prayers. As most of you know, she had heart surgery in January. Since then they have had to remove fluid from her lungs 4 times.

She has undergone surgery again, this time to close off the area where the fluid has been collecting. It has an 89% chance of being successful. According to her daughter, Woodlyn, she came through the surgery very well and looks better now than she has all year.

She is in Birmingham, and if all goes well, should be able to come home in a few days.

BEST POEM IN THE WORLD

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money! …twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.

'And why's everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

JUDGE NOT…lest you be judged.

Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

Every saint has a PAST....
Every sinner has a FUTURE
