Summer Games

It won't be long before all eyes will be on China watching the Summer Olympics. The athletes have been preparing for this event-each wanting their chance to earn the gold. The crowds cheering them on. While all this is happening...Christians in China are being placed in prison, Bibles and Christian materials are being taken from them, some are being taken from their homes, some are suffering torture and beatings....for specific information check out sites such as Voice of The Martyrs and Open Doors. Remember those who are in bonds! Remember to keep them in our prayers. Thank God for faithful people who give all and will not deny the name of Jesus even at the cost of family, home and life. Pray that the Lord will strengthen, encourage, protect and embolden those who have not denied His Name. Let our prayers cheer them on to finish the race that the Lord has called them to. Let us pray that many will come to salvation through these precious saints.

I had a someone do a teaching on being a bold Christian and said we should ask ourselves if they were arresting Christians would there be enough evidence to put us in prison. We can so freely (or more so) show our beliefs and don't always as much as we should.
Good post. Very good!
Blessings

Well it is in an unusual place but you got it. I clicked on your older posts and it plays on that page also. I don't know how you did it but as long as it works that's great. To add more songs you go back to where you created it and when you get a list of songs and find one you like just click on the + sign and the computer will put it in your playlist. This is the neatest thing. Good job.

I found a slideshow on someone else's blog that I really like and got mine created but can't figure out how to get it on my sidebar. Her's in on her sidebar. She is supposed to ask her son-in-law why I can't get mine to work.
Have a blessed day,
