Freedom is never free, it comes with a price.
Today, think of our freedom in America. Brave men and women died so we can have freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom to do what we want to do in life, freedom to choose.
True freedom is through Jesus Christ who died so we can have peace, joy and eternal life in Heaven. All we have to do is choose to accept Him as our Savior, then follow Him.
This week as we approach the 4th of July, take a little time out to pray for our service men and women who are serving in the Armed forces, also, the wounded warriors and families.
Then thank The Lord we live in a country where we still have our freedom.

Freedom
June 30, 2013Montgomery, Alabama
June 26, 2013What a blessing to have been in Montgomery. Eastmont Baptist Church is a loving caring group of Christians. 38 came out for SOS training and the enthusiasm was catching. The Pastor made the comment that he really saw the heart of his people.
They are having a celebration for Independence Day on Wednesday July 3rd, 6pm.
4505 Atlanta Hwy, Montgomery, AL
(334) 277-6300
If anyone is in the Montgomery area, you would have a good time with the people at Eastmont.
We are praying many will come to see the 3 Things God Can Not Do.
Tom and I were so blessed with the love and care shown to us, and we want to publicly thank you all for the blessing you were to us while in Alabama. Special thanks to Pastor Mike and Dale and Dorothy Brown for their hospitality. May God bless you all.
Traveling Blessings
June 23, 2013Sunday in Montgomery, Alabama. Lovely day to serve The Lord. He gave us, Tom and Carolyn, a beautiful restful trip after our car problems.
Now it is time to get busy and serve Him. 2 church services this morning and training for SOS this afternoon and evening. Tomorrow another training. Tom needs prayer for strength and good health.
Pray for the Christians who desire to learn to witness and win souls.
This area can use some full time workers to go to the many events in Alabama. Great opportunities.
Also, in Florida today, SOS has a team witnessing at a flea market after they go to an early church service. Pray for souls.
Traveling trials
June 21, 2013First road trip in awhile and then the trials come. Tom and I are on the way to Alabama for a 3 day training at a large church. We got as far as Ocala, Fl, about a 90 mile distance, when our car started to give us problems. It would not shift, could not get up to the speed we needed to go. Not knowing the area we prayed, got on the web and found A-1 Automatic Transmissions in Ocala.
Praise The Lord He sent us there. The owner, Paul, took us right in, told us it was not the transmission, replaced the catalytic converter, the air filter and the sensor. He had us on the road in about 3 hours.
We had the opportunity to witness to 4 people about The Lord while waiting.
Then the rains came, torrential. Could not see so we finally stopped at a motel.
On the road again today and a tire on a truck in front of us blew out but we were able to avoid the rubber that flew at us. One more thing, another truck threw a stone which came at the passenger side and missed the windshield by 2 inches. Left 3 small dents in the roof.
We are Praising The Lord for His protection and safety. Please pray for our journey as we travel on tomorrow.
Obedience
June 19, 2013Obedience is what He says, when he says, for whatever reason He says, and where He says.
Partial obedience is disobedience. God sometimes speaks in a still small voice.
Are you an obedient Christian?
How to live a Godly life
June 12, 2013You can not live a Godly life without the Word of God. Read The Word daily for a Christ centered life.
Psalms 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart,
that I might not sin against thee.
Do you know the 3 things God can not do?
June 9, 2013“Do you know the 3 things God can not do?” is a sign on the back of our car along with my cell phone number. Coming out of a grocery store a few days ago the phone rang and a woman said,”I am following you and need to know the 3 things God can not do.”
1. God can not lie. 2. God can not change 3. God cannot let anyone into Heaven unless you are born again.
After explaining these 3 things, I asked her, “Are you 50, 75 or 100% sure if you died today you would go to Heaven?”
She answered that she did not know.
When the plan of salvation was explained, this lady trusted The Lord as her Savior.
She said “I did not know if i was going to be talking to some “nut”, but I had to know.” She then ask if she could give the phone number to her friends so they could find out how to go to Heaven also.
These simple signs on the back of the car has resulted in several salvations, plus at least 2 or 3 calls a week from Christians who are curious.
If anyone would like a sign for their back car window, email SOS at sosevents.org.
We are brought with a price
June 8, 20131 Corinthians 6:20
“For ye are bought with a price:therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
We belong to God because He bought us with His precious blood. What a price He paid so we can go to Heaven. Today and everyday glorify Him by giving thanks for so great a salvation.
Life is Short
June 4, 2013My husband brought me a beautiful magnolia tree for my birthday. The blooms are beautiful and so lovely to see, but it saddens me that the next morning they are all brown and wilted. It reminds me that our life is short and we need to see the beauty God has given us while we have opportunity. Take time to witness for The Lord, take time to enjoy family and friends. Look around at God’s creation and Praise Him for all he has given us.
James 4:14
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Heavenly or Earthly
May 28, 2013How many people do you know that are so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly good and how many are so earthly minded they are of no heavenly good?
