Opinion

OPINION: Skeletons In Missouri Tabbi Ireland and Sheri Wade were looking for a space, a building, that the local cheerleading squad they coached could use as a practice facility. The building needn't be fancy or, for that matter, even uncluttered. They were willing to give the space a hard cleaning when the right place in Houston was found. by Stan Fine
OPINION: Our Suffering Is Nothing Compared For those of you who read my column, you most likely noticed that I didn't have one last week. If you don't read it, then you missed a great one (haha). For one of the very few times in the last nearly 20 years, I did not write a weekly column.

Religion

RELIGION: Put On Bowels Of Mercy "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." Colossians 3:12-13 by Randy Moll
RELIGION: Do You Have The Courage To Resist? Pastor gave us a lot to think about this week. Pastor began with the 5th chapter of Isaiah, verses 11-12. This speaks of the bad things that a person might get involved in. God said, "Woe to them that rise up in the morning and drink strong drink until night comes and wine inflames them." It tells of the music of harps and other instruments that are pleasing to the ear. How they listen to them but they regard not the work of the Lord.
RELIGION: If Faith Is Worth Anything, It Should Be Worth Everything We were greeted by Shelley Hall, who opened our worship service with prayer Sunday morning at Mill Creek Baptist Church. Special prayers were requested for Laney, Rachel and husband, Becky, Jimmy Easter, Skip's brother and Mariah. Frankie Garvin thanked the congregation for the prayers.

Colossians 3:12-13 by Randy Moll
RELIGION: Christian Life Is A Life Of Struggle "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: for which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: in the which ye also walked sometime, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him: where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all." Colossians 3:5-11 by Randy Moll
RELIGION: Praying For Healing We began our Sunday morning service at Mill Creek Baptist Church Sunday by singing happy birthday to Jerry Abercrombie. Sunflowers and the colors of fall adorned our sanctuary as summer winds down and fall approaches. Doug Cory greeted the congregation and opened our service with prayer. Special prayers were requested for Dot Harner, Jimmy Easter, Skip, Alesia, Barbara, David Anthony, Bently, McKayla, the Jim Boston family, Tony Herrin family, Barbara, Joe and travel prayers. Linda shared a couple of praises and announced the Memorial Poker Run in memory of Jeremy Abercrombie this weekend.
