SelfStudy - SS Class

Hey Team!

Hope you are well.

Gene McIntosh

As you may already know, Gene McIntosh had a stroke or perhaps several mini-strokes in recent days. Dr. Gardner reported at prayer meeting last night that Dr. Covington said Gene is doing well under the circumstances. Please pray for Gene, Sandra, Karen, Kim and their entire family. Gene is such a dedicated, faithful follower of our Lord, and a great husband, father and friend. He has been and continues to be a great example for all of us.

Women's Bible Study

After much deliberation, the Bible Study Eva is going to lead this summer will be held on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. during the month of July. While many expressed a preference to do something during the day, available childcare was apparently going to be an issue. Hopefully, this will provide an opportunity for many who are interested to attend. The study is on the book of Jonah and Eva is excited about it.

Thought for the Day

"For He Himself said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' So we may confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'"

Press on.

God is BUSY

Subject: FW: God is BUSY


If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!! A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'm still waiting.' It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?'

The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting America 's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'
