Don't Walk Alone The following article is from an email that was sent to me once by a dear friend (who, coincidentally, was diagnosed with breast cancer just a short time later)... My cousin, Donnie, lost his beautiful sweet wife to pancreatic cancer earlier this month. Jeannine was a precious person. She touched the lives of many people, family, and friends. Jeannine and I were not as close as we had been in the past due to raising children and busy lives, but there are some things that will always be with me because of her. When our grandmother was in a nursing home in Chatom, Jeannine and I would travel, with her little one, Kimberly, to visit Nanny every Friday.

A Great Book if Applied While studying in the Holy Lands, a seminary professor heard about a man who claimed to have memorized the entire Old Testament , and in Hebrew!

Room for More in the Family of God In Luke 19:10 , Jesus said, “The Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.” Similarly, Paul told Timothy, “ This is a faithful/trustworthy saying, and it deserves full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15). It was 2000 years ago that our Lord came to give His life to save sinners, but there are still so many remaining who need salvation. In Christ’s parable of the great supper, the servant went into the streets of the city and brought back many people. But then he reported back to his master, “Lord, what y ou commanded has been done , and yet still there is room for more” (Luke 14:22). God is still a God of abundant love and amazing grace , and t here is still room for more in the f amily of God! And certainly we know there is still plenty of room in this our Pontotoc C hurch F amily for many more to come to Christ! The Great Commission is recorded for us in Matthew 28
