South Park Baptist Church

If you read the Bible, you know that it speaks often about Christians going through trials! In fact, we followers of Christ should not expect a carefree ride! That was never promised to us. But sometimes it seems the trials pile up. We have a precious family in our church family who is going through a lot.

Last evening I really enjoyed having our annual Thanksgiving meal with our church family! Good fellowship and a lot of great food! Also, we played a “Thanksgiving Trivia” game and one of the questions asked was, “Which ‘Founding Father’ wanted our national bird to be the turkey?” Answer:

Last Sunday we took time in our morning worship service to honor all veterans and their families! We do not always marry the national calendar to our church calendar, but this year I felt led to do so. Maybe because I have been reading “Last Stand at Khe Sanh: The U. S. Marines’ Finest Hour in Vietnam.”  This is my generation’s war, and although I did not have to go, I had many friends and men I knew who did. Yes, sometimes I feel a little guilty because these men and women never received their due respect and honor. Upon their return they were ridiculed, scorned and treated down right awful by people for whom they sacrificed so much to protect.
