G od is forever able
H old on to Jesus .

Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything...
Love and peace be with you  always forever, Amen.

THE USEFUL SERMON

A man once spent days looking for his new hat. Finally, he decided that he would go to church       on Sunday and sit at the back and during the service; he would sneak out and grab a hat from the rack at the front door.

On Sunday, he went to church and sat at the back, the sermon was about Ten Commandments. He sat throughout the whole sermon and instead of sneaking out; he waited until the sermon was over and went to talk to the minister. Father, I come here today to steal a hat to replace the one I lost but after hearing your sermon on Ten Commandments, I changed my mind.

The minister said, bless you my son, was it when I started to preach about thou shall not steal that you changed your mind? The man responded, NO! It was the one on adultery, when you started to preach on that, I remember where I forgot my hat.
