The Family That Prays Together!

February 9, 2026

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15

Families today are often busy and pulled in many different directions, but one thing that keeps a home strong is time spent together with the Lord. Prayer doesn’t have to be long—just a few moments each day can bring peace, unity, and encouragement.

When a family prays together, children learn faith by example, hearts stay softer toward one another, and challenges are faced as a team. A home centered on God becomes a place of love, support, and strength.

Strong families are not perfect families—they are families who choose to stay connected and serve the Lord together. Even simple times of prayer at the table or before bed can build lasting bonds that carry through generations.

Worship!

February 8, 2026

This verse reminds me that it is good to worship the LORD together.

When we have others to worship with us and pray together it is a great blessing.

That is why our church family is so important. We gather together to pray and worship.

Opportunity To Speak!

February 7, 2026

This week I had an opportunity to give my testimony and present SOS Events ministry at the senior luncheon at Scott Lake Baptist Church in lakeland, Florida.

It was a great event where I saw several of SOS Events volunteers and Leaders. We also had some volunteers sign up for strawberry festival, which will be coming up in just a couple of weeks.

It is such a blessing to have the opportunity to proclaim God‘s word. Next week, I will be traveling to Panama City to speak twice. I would appreciate prayers for safe travel, and also for Holy Spirit power as unsaved people will be at these events.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16

A Cure For Shot Nerves!

February 6, 2026

Thinking of something to encourage those who read this, I chose a book on hymns, “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert J. Morgan.
He wrote a forward “The Cure For Shot Nerves”. Thinking that is a catchy title, I read what he wrote about how the old hymns can calm the spirit and help bring peace to the soul.

It is rare in some churches to even hear the old hymns anymore and that is sad.
“In the Garden” He walks with me/ and He talks with me/ and tells me I am His own.
“Jesus Loves Me”, “Amazing Grace”, “I Need Thee Every Hour” and many more that encourage the heart.

Today, if you are stressed, feeling overwhelmed, or just plan discouraged, think of your favorite hymn and sing it, hum it or just let it flood your mind with how good God is, and soon you will find the comfort you need

Hope In God’s Word!

February 5, 2026

Life can place heavy burdens on our hearts. Worry, fear, discouragement, and sorrow can cause us to feel weighed down and overwhelmed. God understands this heaviness, and His Word acknowledges it plainly.

Yet this verse also gives us hope. A kind word, a word of encouragement, or a word spoken in love can lift a heavy heart. God often uses His Word — and His people — to bring comfort and joy to those who are hurting.

When our hearts feel heavy, we can turn to the promises of Scripture and allow God’s truth to strengthen us. And as believers, we are reminded to speak good words to others, knowing that even a small act of encouragement can bring gladness to a weary soul.

God Is At Work!

February 4, 2026

A new day is another opportunity to place everything in God’s hands. January often brings plans, goals, and uncertainties, but the Lord asks us to commit our way to Him first. Commitment means surrender — trusting that God sees what we cannot and knows the best path forward.

When we truly trust the Lord, we can rest, knowing He is already at work behind the scenes. He will bring to pass what is according to His will and for His glory. Our responsibility is faithfulness; God’s responsibility is the outcome.

Begin today by committing your plans, concerns, and hopes to the Lord. Walk forward in trust, and let God handle the results.

SOS Events Training

February 2, 2026

On Saturday 6 people came to Bloomingdale Baptist Church to be trained to witness at events with SOS Events.

Brenda(standing) and her husband were the Trainers and did a wonderful job.

Training is important. It helps people overcome doubts and fear of witnessing.

There is opportunity for anyone who would like to have this boldness by requesting training with SOS.

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Ephesians 3:12

This psalm reminds us that worship is not a duty to endure, but a joy to embrace.

There is gladness in gathering with God’s people, lifting our hearts together, and entering His presence with expectation.

Our church is a place of encouragement, teaching, prayer, and praise—where burdens are shared and faith is strengthened. On this Lord’s Day, may our hearts echo that same glad response, rejoicing in the privilege of worshiping God together and honoring Him with our presence.

The Answer!

January 31, 2026

There is an answer. It is found in the Bible. 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
