BLACKOUT

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:1 

Our position in Christ is a justified one by faith in His work for us,

When we opened our lives and invited Him in to give us His perfect peace.

Oh how wonderful it is have such delights and the assurance of eternal life,

And a Savior who cares so deeply for us and that surely will never cease.(RP)

Yesterday the storm did a lot of damage. We escaped, thankfully, but many have it rough. Even today some are still in darkness without electricity. Margie and I were all ready to go to church and Sunday School when we received the word that our church is without electricity.  It was to be a special day with our pastor just returned from Asia, and Catherine Russell from Thailand, jointly giving reports of their ministries. Then a planned luncheon after church was how the morning was to end.  That is all cancelled now. At our house we have not had a power outage like many other places. We do have a generator and our son called me to run through the routine of how to hook it up to the house wiring system which his neighbor did for us several years ago. Fortunately we have not had to do it all, even though today they promise another high wind and rainy day. At this point all is calm. Thanks for praying.
