National Day of Prayer

Yesterday was the National Day of Prayer. I had the privilege of being asked to join with others at the flagpole of our local hospital and pray. There were two different times - for the employees' sake. Then we had the formal National Day of Prayer Service at the Methodist Church, followed by a luncheon. The rain inhibited some from coming, as we were planning on having the service on the courthouse lawn. It was encouraging to lift up a variety of topics to God that concern us locally and nationally.

Through it I was grateful to God for this community. It is a "religiously" minded community. Though it is far from being free of the influences of the Evil One. I am very thankful that we have the opportunities and freedom to hold services like this in a public place (though the rain kept us from it this year). May we never forget our freedoms - in America, and most importantly, in Christ!

I hope you have a great Friday!
