- The study in the book of James has been pretty amazing. It's taken us to so many different places that I believe God wants us to go. Lots of practical teaching there, but also lots of opportunities to simply respond to God's Spirit.
- Tonight's service was just awesome! I believe God truly ministered to people who really needed a touch from Him. I just enjoyed being in His presence and receiving His grace and power. It was just awesome!

- Last Wednesday at InterMission, I laid out some of the plans for our fall campaign, Nothing's Too Hard for God. All I can say is "Get ready!" Get ready to pray, to work hard, and to see God do some amazing things.
- This coming Sunday, we will have an anointing service for all the students and teachers who will be returning to school. Don't miss it!
- Have a great week!

My sister-in-law, Sandy, and her six-year-old daughter, Araceli, were in a room across the hall. I hardly slept that night. I would doze off and suddenly wake up to my father crying and calling out my brother’s name. My brother was dead. Osiel had collapsed that morning while his h...
