I see on tv all these products on anti-aging; that magic anti-wrinkle cream that will give you younger-looking skin; that cream that's going to get rid of the bags under your eyes. To me all that stuff is prolonging the inevitable: we're going to get older, let's face that right now. There's is no fountain of youth to turn back the hands of time. God is giving us certain points in our life to mature. If we don't get older, we'll never reach those points of maturity and we'll never grow up to understand what He has for us in that time. "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me." 1 Corinthians 13:11.

Just watched the movie - Soul Surfer, currently a Red Box Movie Rental. Great family movie. Highly recommend this based on a true story.
Tanya Yes Tanya that was a great movie! So inspirational! A friend's husband is in need of prayers. He has a very serious case of malaria and isn't doing well. They were missionaries in Africa many times and do great things for the Lord. Please pray!
Recently a former teacher of mine had gotten in trouble for some things he did. This had really shocked me; I wondered why he could do such things. I had always liked him as a teacher and couldn't quite imagine it. It made me realize that everybody is tempted, that the devil does prey on the weak so that would be all of us. "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." Peter 5:8. Be aware. That means be aware of ourselves and our own temptations but also to be aware of our neighbors as well. We must pray for our friends and loved ones so that they are kept alert as well. I found myself praying for my former teacher that God may watch over him and help restore him. A prayer is one more shield
