10 Things to Learn from Noah's Ark

I found this poem while surfing on the web today. I should be working on ministry stuff but I was practicing number 8 and 9. Well, sort of. I think the advise here is worthy of note.


Everything I need to know,
I learned from Noah's Ark...

ONE: Don't miss the boat.

TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

THREE: Plan ahead.
It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old,
someone may ask you to do something really big.

FIVE: Don't listen to critics;
just get on with the job that needs to be done.

SIX: Build your future on high ground.

SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

EIGHT: Speed isn't always an advantage.
The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

NINE: When you're stressed, float awhile.

TEN: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs;
the Titanic by professionals.

ELEVEN: No matter the storm,
have faith ... there's always a rainbow waiting.

Working on CEF Materials

Momma and I have been busy working on tools for our children's ministry. Making flannel boards, games, song visual aids and witnessing accessories. Aunt Joy and Margie is a big help in making the gospel bracelets. Jackie and I have been getting things ready for the upcoming SBC convention in Alexandria in November. I want to display the CEF materials and he wants to show pictures of the work we've been doing and try to get financial support as well as new volunteers to go and do the work.

Mom and I have also asked a couple to consider being our CEF directors for Central Louisiana. They are praying about it and hopefully God will give them that assignment. We really do need them for this work. I think they are a perfect team for the job but it's really up to God. He will have to make that assignment, not me or mom. I will let you know who it is if they decide that is what God wants them to do.

I don't know what our leader is up to but God has kept him busy, busy, busy. We need to be ready to go on the field at all times. I am NOT ready but am trying to get that way. I am such a procrastinator that I like to wait til the crunch time. Mom and Jackie are encouraging me to get stuff in order so we will be ready to go at a moment's notice. Pray for me that I can get it all done. I am just about there.
I've lots of sewing projects that I want to do also. So much to do. Got to stop lollygagging and get busy.
