[Faith-talk] 8/15/16 Quotes and a Prayer Request

[Paul Smith]

Hello and greetings to you all on this third Monday of August.  I hope 
that your day is going well, and that you who are suffering from 
oppressive heat and humidity, have working AC units.

Here are today's two quotes for your consideration, pondering and reflection.

You got to look on the bright side, even if there ain't one.  Dashiell 
Hammatt, 1894-1961

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are for.  John A. Shedd

And there yuo have the quotes, but stay tuned to the prayer request.

This has been weighing heavy on my heart for the past several days, and 
that is the situation with our fellow compatriots in Louisiana 
regarding the flood waters.  Just heard on today's news that more than 
25 inches of rain fell on parts of this state since Friday.  Let's all 
pull together and pray for the welfare and safety of blind persons 
there, whether or not they're members of ACB, NFB or unaffiliated ones. 
After all, if we were in a similar situation we would want people to 
pray for us, so it is with this premonition that we ought to pray for 
those affected.  On behalf of these temporary or permanent 
unfortunates, thanks for your prayers, as I know they will be appreciated.

And that will do it for today.  Until either tomorrow when more quotes 
will be posted or until later today when the latest Baffling Bible 
Questions answered will be sent, Lord willing, I am your obedient 
servant of the One who lived an earthly existence, died to pay for your 
sins and mine, and now lives forever to bring us His salvation and 
peace, Oil of Gladness.
