Dear First Baptist Family,
We just wanted to say thank
you for the tremendous outpouring of love, concern,
prayers and well wishes you
have been sending us after
Joe's stroke. Also, the phone calls and visits
have meant so much. We continue on our
journey to see where this path leads but it is
more helpful than you will ever know to have
you all making the trip with us. God is so
Good! Thank you for the birthday wishes for
me as well. God bless you ALL!

JUST THINK
Years ago, signs along the roadways of the state were posted in an effort to
prevent accidents that could not only be devastating to motorists and
passengers, but also to the many friends and family members of crash victims.
These signs carried only one word – THINK. There is no telling how many
accidents were avoided by these one-word signs. When driving, it is always
good to be aware of your surroundings and to watch out for other cars. Your life
and the emotional well being of those close to you depend on it.
Just imagine the disasters that could be avoided if we would just think before
we speak. When words flow from the mouth, it is impossible to retrieve them.
When certain words are spoken, they are like out-of-control automobiles that
devastate lives. The Bible instructs us to be slow to speak; the writers of
Scripture understood that darting words can mutilate and kill. February is
known as the month of love. Loving words lift souls and build up the Lord’s
Church.
