We hear today, "This is my beloved Son.
Listen to him." After hearing Jesus speak of himself as the Bread of Life, "Many of Jesus' disciples who were listening said, 'This saying is hard; who can accept Simon Peter told Jesus, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God." (John Jesus stands at the doors of our hearts and minds, ready to enter into our lives, ready feed us with Himself. The glimpse of His glory found in the transfixed Jesus reminds us of the glory that awaits us, the glory which will finally and definitely satisfy all the spiritual deeper longings of our true life. Please join us as we listen to Jesus in the Word of God. Please join us as we feed on his true presence.

Skeet shoot set Pine Prairie's annual Ava Arden Roberie July 29, 2000 July 29, 2000 When God calls little children to dwell with him above, we mortals sometime question the wisdom of his love. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold.
So he picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them, and so he takes but few to make the land of heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try, the saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye." So when a little child departs, we who are left behind must realize God loves children, angels are hard to find.
