This play reminds me on 2ND Corintinthians 12:12-27, where Paul talks about the importance of every part of the body. He's referring to the church, but it is also true of any team. The success of this play hinged on 2 teammates that weren't even in the game. They were warming in the bullpen area.

Details regarding this Sunday's retirement luncheon for Bruce Wooley. Please make plans to attend.

"If there was ever a time we needed a breakthrough, it's now. If ever there was a time that we need a word from the Lord, now is that time. There is no secret we are living in difficult times. Brethren, we are living in a land that is full of dry bones that desperately need a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. There are situations which appear to be totally and absolutely hopeless..."

This is not our Cooke family, but an aritcle from the Christian Chronicle about missionaries in Peru with a very sick two-year-old.

Status Update By Tim Cooke Prayer Request: My dad is a fearless warrior for God. His lifetime passion has been to share the Gospel message. Dad was diagnosed with NPH over 3 1/2 yrs ago. One of the three symptoms of NPH is dementia. Dad had a shunt installed in December of 2008 which drains the spinal fluid that the tissue around his brain can't absorb. He showed modest improvement after the surgery for about 12 months, then stayed steady for 2 more years. Six months ago the deteriation of his short term memory began to accelerate. We are working with neurologists and neurosurgeons, but the only thing that could possibly heal dad at this point is miraculous intervention. To complicate the situation, mom broke her fibula and fractured her heal 12 days ago. She can't put weight on her foot for at least two months. Dad counts on mom for everything. If you believe that God still answers prayers in a sometimes miraculous way, I ask you to please pray for my mom and dad..

The heavens declare the glory of God.
