My thanks to Laurie Kasuboski for writing the bulletin, last week. 

Thought for today:  God – each of us has a saturation point and we need a safety valve when we feel we may lose control.  A good safety valve is prayer.  Teach me to rely on prayer for my safety valve.  Amen. 

95 percent devotion to God is about five percent short.
