From the Pastor's
Pen...
a Water Mystery - Recently on a Saturday
evening our fellowship area in the basement was flooded with water.
The following men - Carter Beck, Larry Gulley, Danny Lane, Doug
Opdycke, Rick Stricker and Darrell Zimmerman, spent several hours
using their wet vacs to take care of the water. Fans,
especially a large industrial fan brought by Mike Bosworth, took
care of the drying process and no damage was sustained to the
carpet. The mystery however is, where did the water come from?
The men could not find the cause, neither could Darrell Zimmerman on
further inspection, nor could the city water department. We
even had a plumber come and look for the cause but he could not find
where the water had come from. It still remains a mystery! We
can only hope it does not happen again.
I share this with you because it reminds
me of a mysterious truth. Just as those men could not explain
the presence of the water in the basement, they knew it was there.
Likewise we cannot explain the presence of God in our lives,
however, we can know beyond a doubt that He is present. If you
are not sure of His presence in your life and the assurance of
salvation which He gives, then read the short letter of I John in
the New Testament.
May God Bless you with His presence,
Richard
