[Judy Taylor]

I appreciate your letting me know Terry and I am blessed every time you share tidbits about your life in Florida. God is so faithful and He must be giving you a lot of grace and patience to do what you are doing in that kind of heat and humidity - Let me share what I read this morning about a Preacher who never failed to give thanks.  I thought of you :)   "John Gray, a circuit-riding preacher, never failed to thank God for something, no matter how bad the times or how severe the trial....  One day when Gray had had to battle through wind and sleet to his preaching appointment at a distant village chapel, the small congregation waiting for him wondered what he could be thankful for in such weather....  When it came time for prayer, John prayed, "This is a wretched day, dear Lord, no doubt about it; but we thank Thee, Lord, that every day isn't as bad as this one!"       From: Terry Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks for the research Judy.  You have given me much to consider.

Scripture teaches us that "God is a Spirit" John 4:24 - so how was Adam made in His Image aside from being created a spiritual being? In Job we learn "There is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding" (Job 32:8) David believed the same when under great duress he wrote  "Into thine hand I commit my Spirit" (Psalm 31:5) Jesus on the cross right before giving up the ghost cried "Father into thy hands I commend my spirit" (Luke 23:46) Stephen while being stoned cried "Lord Jesus receive my spirit" (Acts 7:59)
