[Faith-talk] Good Night Message for Friday, July 20 2012

[Tony Sohl]

Prayer request    Hi all I know you have probably heard today several lives 
were lost at a person's hand that could have been avoided. An individual 
went on a shooting rampage at a movie theater and shot several people and 
even went so far as using gas. Children and innocent and children and adults 
lost lives and were injured.

My request is that we pray for the families who have lost ones and the 
individuals whoare recovering from this terrible event. We neeet o look to 
the future and pray for forgiveness but I feel god will come back to haunt 
him later on in life.

> Our poetic words of inspiration today come from the pen of Patricia Ann

>
> O Lord Jesus,
> May there be less of me
> And more of Thee.
>
> May I keep my eyes
> On Thy holy face,
> And talk less of my goodness
> And more of Thy grace.
>
> Instead of complaining and murmuring
> The whole day through,
> Help me to glorify Thee
> In all I say and do.
>
> Instead of going about
> Doing just as I please,
> May I seek Thy guidance
> Upon my knees.
>
> May I find the center
> Of Thy perfect will there,
> And ever live for Christ
> Is my earnest prayer.

> And there you have it for today.  I hope and trust that, even if you

> with a new generation of blind and partially sighted folks.
>
> And now may the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob just keep you safe 
> throughout the night and especially in these last days in which we live. 
> And hey, how about each other symbolically tuck one another under the
