Church flooded, Peter, story.
Hello! How is everyone?!
Well, as some of you know, our Church, Rock Creek Baptist Church, flooded. The pipes had frozen and then they busted. And the water was just filling up the Church. And it was running for 48 hours. And then after that 48 hours, the decons at our Chirch had a decoys meeting to go to that day. And when they opened the door, out came the water...it was up to their knees before it all flowed out. They ended up having to take up the carpet. It was all soaked. So Lord willing the insurance will cover it. We are praying that there will be no mold either. And we might even have to rebuild part of the Church. Please pray. we are having our Church services at a church close by called Seventh Day Advenist. And since they have their service on Saturday, we get to have our service on Sunday as usual. Pray it will all be back to normal soon.
Peter was there at the Church this last Sunday! He was in his wheelchair. And he was able to every once in a while hold up his head on his own. And he was moving his hand a good bit too. He was pretty tired, or course, but he was still pretty good. He is making great progress! Still continue to pray for him and his family, and that he will be able to come to Church often! :)
Also yesterday I remembered a story that a very strong Christian man at our Church, Mr. Hughes, told us a story when we were having a church campout. Here it is--
Once there was a man standing on a bridge above a frozen lake with a waterfall. He accidentally fell on the ice, and it broke and in he went. He was able to grab onto a log and hold on tight. He was heard from some police officers nearby. They quickly came with a rope. They lowered down he rope to the man so they could pull him back up out of the icy cold water. The police men said, "Quick! Grab onto the rope!" the man in the water yelled back, "Can't...hands..frozen...to..log" and the man fell off of the waterfall, and died.
The officers sighed as one of them said, "We should have lowered one of our men to get the man...then he would have lived."
Just like God sent His Son, a man, to save us of our sins. The man that had fallen into the lake is us, and the log is the world. Our hands are stuck on the world. We don't want to give up our worldly possessions. God Bless!
