“And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-39‬ ‭

A typical summer sunrise at our house this past week. It has been hot but sunny and peaceful for quite a few days now. Normal for early September. 

 
The first sunrise after Hurricane Dorian departed Man-O-War Cay, Abaco, Bahamas. Beautiful but things are far from normal. This photo was taken by dear friends of ours, Buddy and Kerri Mullins, who were doing mission work with New Life Bible Church when Dorian made a direct hit. We are grateful they are safe and are now stateside. Buddy and Kerri serve with Hope For The World Foundation, a wonderful organization that ministers and supports missionaries in many parts of the world. I (Butch) had the privilege of being a part of the Hope For The World Board for a time.READ MORE

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.””
‭‭John‬ ‭13:34-35‬ ‭

When Katy gets some “lake time” we can always count on her capturing a beautiful sunrise (and sunsets too)!

Do you recall the incredible pic of the 3 white crosses standing in water after the flood earlier this year? Hard to imagine water covering this landscape but folks around Weiss Lake remember all too well!READ MORE

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭

The summer sunrise appears further south as it is about one third of the way from its northern extreme. Autumn is headed our way!

We love churches in country settings and Katy has a way of spotting them!READ MORE
