That's weird.  I didn't know you were Catholic, Pat.  We had quite a
few Catholics hanging around here.  I'm active in my Catholic Student
Union.

Last night I talked to Mary Ellen Gabias to see how her dad was doing and hospice services may no longer be required.  He's by no means out of the woods but he's eating again and apparently her brother is going to move in with him so he won't be alone.

Message-ID: <422F0E04890A4B15B8B8E25BB3AD4C14@your4dacd0ea75>

When I first started playing for the church I now play for, they said they didn't have enough money to pay me on a regular basis, so I knew what I was going into going in.  I have my book and CD and thought that those would cover me, hopefully sufficiently.

Two Sundays ago, I was riding home with the pastor and he said they had a token for me.  I asked what kind of token, and he said it was a check.  I asked the amount and he said $50.  I had my seat belt on over my pocket, so didn't get to put it in my coat as deep as I would have liked.  When I left the car, I pulled my keys out of that same pocket.  It was when I went upstairs and took stuff out of my pockets that I discovered I no longer had the check.  I went to people's doors who I knew had some sharp sight, but they were not at home.  The assisted living people, Senior Friends, were still cleaning up downstairs from lunch, so I explained the dilemma to them.  One of them went out to see and came back, saying, "Here it is.  It was on the side of the road."

When we had had our prayer time, I prayed about a romance gone awry and asked God to help me earn enough money to buy some transportation tickets for travel to where I play on Saturdays, and for a church I go to Wednesday nights.  I sent the money to the bank right away and thanked God it hadn't been a windy day.

The joy you send out never leaves you. Instead, it carries you along. 

Be generous with the joy you express to others. For the more of it you give, the more of it you'll have. 

There is no end to the joy that is within you. To know and experience the value of that joy in your life, set it free and let it flow into your world. 

You have everything you need to make a joyful day today. For all you need is to let the joy be. 

Spread joy, and you rise to a more enlightened perspective. Spread joy, and you build a more positive world. 

When you find yourself longing for more joy in life, remind yourself to let it be. Spread joy, and you will surely know it.

Today's Bible reading for March 25, 2009

Psalm 84 
For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

84:1 How lovely are your dwellings,
    Yahweh of Armies! 
84:2 My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh.
    My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. 
84:3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, 
    near your altars, Yahweh of Armies, my King, and my God. 
84:4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house.
    They are always praising you. 
Selah.
84:5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you;
    who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage. 
84:6 Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs.
    Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings. 
84:7 They go from strength to strength.
    Everyone of them appears before God in Zion. 
84:8 Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer.
    Listen, God of Jacob. 
Selah.
84:9 Behold, God our shield,
    look at the face of your anointed. 
84:10 For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.
    I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, 
    than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 
84:11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield.
    Yahweh will give grace and glory. 
    He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 
84:12 Yahweh of Armies,
    blessed is the man who trusts in you.

March 25

Psalm 31:18
Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

Lisa couldn't quite believe everything the preacher was saying. He went on and on about how members of other Christian denominations were misguided and on the road to destruction. That didn't make sense. How could the pastor know that he was right and everyone else was wrong? He said that God had told him, but surely God talked to others, too. It was awfully confusing.
One day, everyone who speaks in order to hurt others will have to pay for what they say. So many things are said and done in the name of Christianity that are in no way Christian. Our law is the law of love and forgiveness, not judgment and narrow-mindedness. Ask the Lord to open your heart to those you disagree with and wonderful things will begin to happen.

Prayer: 

I know so little and I say so much, Father. Help me to reach out to people that I don't understand or agree wit h. Make me an instrument of unity and fellowship. Amen.

Hi all,

I want to take this time to introduce myself:

I'm totally blind, a recent highschool graduate, and a Christian. I'm pretty open, so feel free to ask me anything in an effort to get to know me. Oh, one more thing:  I'm from Missouri.

I look forward to getting to know you all!

Thanks,

Cory

Hello to all,
I have a change of topic.  I would like to pray for churches 
being affected by the economy.  Our people are giving as much as 
they can, and we still have to lose sta! etc.  We have a 
medium-sized church, not a mega church.
I ask for prayers for our Michigan affilliate as we work to host 
a great national convention.  Fred, my husband, is our state 
president.  Alot needs to be done, and we are doing well, but 
prayers are always great!!

Hi Cory,

Welcome.  I hope you enjoy this list.

I'm a music teacher in a Baptist Christian school in Columbus, 
Nebraska, and the list moderator.

The purpose of this list is for discussion and prayer, so please 
don't send a forward unless it's really something that speaks to you, 
and explain yourself.  May it will start some discussion.  We all get 
plenty of daily devotionals in our in boxes, and some of us get the 
same ones you do.

Blessings,

  Hello to all,
  I have a change of topic.  I would like to pray for churches 
  being affected by the economy.  Our people are giving as much as 
  they can, and we still have to lose sta! etc.  We have a 
  medium-sized church, not a mega church.
  I ask for prayers for our Michigan affilliate as we work to host 
  a great national convention.  Fred, my husband, is our state 
  president.  Alot needs to be done, and we are doing well, but 
  prayers are always great!!
  Mary Wurtzel

I'm guessing no particular faith, as all churches will struggle 
because of the economy, as their members struggle to make ends meet 
and tithe--or not tithe, as they are wont to do.

Blessings,

Linda

National Federation of the Blind Celebrates
Release of the 2009 Louis Braille Bicentennial Silver Dollar
NFB Jernigan Institute Releases
Report to the Nation on Braille Literacy Crisis

Baltimore, Maryland (March 26, 2009): The 
National Federation of the Blind (NFB), the 
nation?s oldest and largest organization of blind people and the leading
advocate for Braille literacy, today celebrates 
the release of the 2009 Louis Braille 
Bicentennial Silver Dollar.  This historic commemorative coin, the
first-ever U.S. coin to contain tactile, readable 
Braille, will be launched at a special ceremony 
at the headquarters of the National Federation of the
Blind in Baltimore beginning at 10:00 a.m. on March 26, 2009.

The NFB Jernigan Institute, the research and 
training arm of the National Federation of the 
Blind, will also release a report to the nation on the literacy
crisis facing the blind in America.  ?The Braille 
Literacy Crisis in America: Facing the Truth, 
Reversing the Trend, Empowering the Blind? describes the
factors that have contributed to the shocking 
illiteracy rate of 90 percent among blind 
children and outlines steps to reverse this trend.

A portion of the money from sales of the 2009 
Louis Braille Bicentennial Silver Dollar, which 
was authorized by a law signed by President George W. Bush
in 2006, will be used to support the NFB?s 
?Braille Readers are Leaders? campaign.  The 
campaign is a national initiative created to double the number
of blind children learning Braille by 2015.

Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National 
Federation of the Blind, said: ?If the blind can 
read, the blind can achieve.  The Louis Braille Bicentennial
Silver Dollar celebrates the man who gave 
literacy to the blind and is a unique and 
beautiful keepsake, but it is also a coin with a mission: to make sure
that every blind child and every adult losing 
vision in our nation has the opportunity to learn Braille.?

Dr. Fredric K. Schroeder, first vice president of 
the National Federation of the Blind and 
coordinator of the NFB?s national Braille Readers are Leaders
campaign, said:  ?Braille is not being taught to 
many blind children and adults because there are 
myths and misconceptions surrounding the code.  Braille
is said to be slow and inefficient, difficult to 
learn, unnecessary in light of new technology, 
and something that isolates blind students from their sighted
peers.  But the blind know these myths to be 
false, and studies have shown that Braille leads 
to employment opportunities, independence, and self-confidence
for blind people.?

The program celebrating the launch of the Louis 
Braille Bicentennial Silver Dollar will feature:

?        The presentation of the report

?        Remarks by Dr. Marc Maurer, President of 
the National Federation of the Blind

?        Remarks by Dr. Abraham Nemeth, who 
invented the Braille code used for mathematics 
and scientific notation in the United States

?        Demonstrations by proficient Braille readers, including blind children

?        A message from United States Senator 
Christopher J. Dodd, chairman of the Committee on 
Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs and the sponsor of the
legislation authorizing the Louis Braille Bicentennial Silver Dollar

?        Ed Moy, director of the United States 
Mint, who will give remarks and sign certificates of authenticity

?        A ?Braille Fair? featuring fun 
activities for children and adults who want to learn about Braille

The National Federation of the Blind is asking 
the American public, through purchasing this 
stunning silver dollar, to join its campaign to bring literacy,
education, opportunity, and success to the blind 
of America.  The Louis Braille Bicentennial 
Silver Dollar goes on sale to the general public at noon today.
  Those interested in ordering a coin should visit
www.usmint.gov
  or call 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468).  For more 
information about the National Federation of the 
Blind and the Braille Readers are Leaders campaign, visit

Message-ID: <001601c9af06$cf5d90d0$210110ac@yourfsyly0jtwn>

Good afternoon everyone,

    Here is a prayer request for members of our North Dakota Affiliate. I 
received an urgent message from Jenelle Bichlor the Affiliate's President 
concerning the flooding in that state. The situation in Fargo is critical. 
Most members should not need to evacuate. Jenelle told me that she and her 
family are month in immediate danger, but could loose utilities if 
conditions continue to worsen. The Red River is expected to crest tomorrow 
and another storm is due to move in to that area on Monday.

    Jenelle will keep me updated on the situation in North Dakota. 
Information for blind persons effected by the flooding will also be posted 
to the NFB of North Dakota Web Site:
http://www.nfbnd.org

    Our blind brothers and sisters in North Dakota need to be kept in our 
prayers and thoughts. Let's all say a special prayer for them, that the Lord 
will watch over them and bring them along with others in the flood-effected 
areas safely through and will provide the assistance they need to rebuild 
their lives and property when the storm is over. They will appreciate that 
very much.

Peter Donahue

"Given a chance to dream it can be done.
The promise of tomorrow is real.
Children of Spaceship Earth the future belongs to us all."
Flying for Me,
John Denver

David Andrews



Hello all




I regret to inform you all that our State 
convention must be rescheduled due to the 
flooding we are having here in North Dakota.  Our 
State convention was scheduled for April 4th at 
the Prairie Rose Inn in Fargo from 9 am to 
5pm.  It has been rescheduled for May 16th at the 
Prairie Rose Inn in Fargo from 9am to 5pm.



  We are truly sorry about the inconvenience that 
this may cause everyone however, for the safety 
and the flooding concern we must rescheduled.



  We are looking forward to having a great 
convention and the biggest convention that the 
NFB of North Dakota has seen.  So please do not 
let this delay discourage you.  Thank you so much 
for your patience and understanding and we look 
forward to seeing you all in May for our state 
Convention.  If you have any questions please 
feel free to contact me at the contact 
information below.  Thank you and God Bless.



Sincerely,



Jennelle Bichler

Peter, up here in Duluth, Minnesota, we have been getting nothing but scary 
reports and it does sound very bad.  I put Fargo and nearby territories on 
every prayer list I could find where I know people really pray from where I 
live to Houston, Texas.  I am praying also.  There are some who feel Fargo 
could be another New Orleans.  Cedar Rapids, Iowa hasn't built back up from 
the floods they had last summer.

This the perfect time of the year to remember and to reflect.

John 3:16 

A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, the people were in and
out of the cold. The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell
many papers. 

He walked up to a policeman and said,  "Mister, you wouldn't happen to know
where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you?  You
see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and it's
awful cold in there for tonight. 
Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay."   

The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, "You go down the
street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out
the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in."   

So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady
answered. 

He looked up and said, "John 3:16." 

The lady said, "Come on in, Son." She took him in and she sat him down in a
split bottom rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, and she went off.
The boy sat there for a while and thought to himself: John 3:16 ..I don't
understand it, but it sure makes a cold boy warm.   

Later she came back and asked him," Are you hungry?" 

He said, "Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of days, and I
guess I could stand a little bit of food."   

The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table full of
wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldn't eat any more. Then he
thought to himself:  "John 3:16 ..Boy, I sure don't understand it but it
sure makes a hungry boy full"   

She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub filled with warm
water, and he sat there and soaked for a while. As he soaked, he thought to
himself:  "John 3:16 ... I sure don't understand it, but it sure makes a
dirty boy clean. You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my whole
life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in front of that big old
fire hydrant as they flushed it out." 

The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room,  tucked him into a big
old feather bed, pulled the covers up around his neck, kissed him goodnight
and turned out the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the
window at the snow coming down on that cold night, he thought to himself:
"John 3:16...I don't understand it but it sure makes a tired boy rested." 

The next morning the lady came back up and took him down again to that same
big table full of food.  After he ate, she took him back to that same big
old split bottom rocker in front of the fireplace and picked up a big old
Bible. 

She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face.. "Do you
understand John 3:16 ? " she asked gently.   

He replied, "No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it was last
night when the policeman told me to use it." 

She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain to him about Jesus .
Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, he gave his heart and life
to Jesus. He sat there and thought: "John 3:16 -- don't understand it, but
it sure makes a lost boy feel safe."   

You know, I have to confess I don't understand it either, how God was
willing to send His Son to die for me, and how Jesus would agree to do such
a thing. I don't understand the agony of the Father and every angel in
heaven as they  watched Jesus suffer and die. I don't understand the intense
love for ME that kept Jesus on the cross till the end. 

I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living. 

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life..
