Worry does not empty tomorrow of sorrows,
It empties today of it strength – Corrie Ten Boom
Philippians 4:6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
BOOK REVIEW FROM REV. PATTI MARIANO OF PARKWAY ASSEMBLY, NORWALK CT.
Do you have a desire to build a closer relationship with God but it’s just not happening?
Do you long to hear His Voice speak to you but it doesn’t?
Do you try to seek His Face in that quiet “secret place” but the cares of this world keep interrupting?
Perhaps there is a small part of your heart where weeds have disrupted the roots. It happens to all of us, and until we discover just what is keeping us from our Father, we face frustrations.
Maggie Bass has found a direct road to the throne room and she shares this in her book “DEVELOPING A SECRET HISTORY WITH GOD”.
It is a rich and inspiring journey to an intimate relationship with the Savior. A “great read” to get you started on deepening and strengthening your own roots. While reading of Maggie’s incredible journey, you will want to take an honest look into your own life and determine how you can start your own “SECRET HISTORY”!

While in San Diego we visited the historic Midway, aircraft carrier from World War 2. It reminded us of the sacrifice of the British, American and allied troops who gave their lives that we might be free.
In the park there is also the huge iconic statue of the “kiss” made famous from the Times Square celebration of the end of the war.
We couldn’t resist mimicking the “kiss”.

After sharing at the Assemblies of God International Fellowship on Thursday morning I spend some time chatting with Shlomo Hizak Founder and President of AMI, the Israel Society of the Jerusalem Center for Biblical Studies and Research. We look forward to accepting his invitation to visit the Center later this year.
Since the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord’s Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore a student in Arizona wrote the following New School Prayer back in 2000 and I believe it’s worth repeating to wake us up!!!
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That’s no offense; it’s a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God’s name is prohibited by the state.
We’re allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They’ve outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the ‘unwed daddy,’ our Senior King.
It’s “inappropriate” to teach right from wrong,
We’re taught that such “judgments” do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It’s scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school’s a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot; My soul please take!
Amen
