Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Birthday Celebrations

One of the ladies of the church will be 70 on Monday, Jan. 18th. Her daughters had a surprise birthday celebration today. They have been sneaking and coniving with their dad for several weeks to get everything together. They did a good job, even though she tried to be nosey at times! She was totally surprised when she walked into the fellowship hall this afternoon! We were all lined up along the wall with roses to present to her and sang happy birthday to her. There were lots of family, friends present.

How sweet! I'm sure the young lady enjoyed it. :)

(You must admit that 70 sounds a whole lot younger than it used to!)
