March 1, 2018

     "I think there is something here, something more than all you see and feel...it's in the wind.... But you do not know what music is until you have heard the wind in the cedars, or the far-off wind in the pines."

          --Louis L'Amour (Conagher)

     "For the Lord is the one who shaped the mountains, stirs up the winds, and reveals his thoughts to mankind. He turns the light of dawn into darkness and treads on the heights…

"When you are up to your nose in trouble,keep your mouth shut."

"One does not surrender his conscience, his soul, when he accepts a job. Each of us is still a man, and individually accountable for his sins."

--Elmer Kelton (The Day the Cowboys Quit)

“If righteous people turn away from their righteous behavior and ignore the obstacles I put in their way, they will die. And if you do not warn them, they will die in their sins. None of their righteous acts will be remembered, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths."

--Ezekiel 3:20…

--2 Corinthians 6:14 (NLT)

"Reality does not play mind games. What is more, if the mind is…

"The storm might last for several days. He leaned back and stretched his legs under the table. The coffee was strong, black, and hot."

"But the way must be long, and as there were the thorns and rocks for his feet, so must there be bruises to his spirit."

--Zane Grey (Wanderer of the Wasteland)

From Mike & Barbara and all of us at Mike Vaughn Ministries I want to Wish all our ICCAN friends and family a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving holiday!!!

JUST THINKING..."Due Season"...David writes in the Bible.."I trust in You, O Lord; I say, 'You are my God.' My times are in Your hand." I interpret that to mean to me that I must enjoy every day and trust Him for tomorrow. blessings, jan

Our greatest progress comes from our greatest pain; so the Lord doesn't save us from it but strengthens us in it. It's when we pass God's test that He fills us with His joy. Remember pain is inevitable....misery is optional! Blessings! jan

The 5 remaining members decided to still meet in the parsonage with me as the pastor and last week I talked them into not selling the church or parsonage to an outsider but to…

A tourist taking pictures asked the cowboy, "How come your dog has such a short nose ?"The cowboy replied, "He chases parked cars!"

In Luke 5:4 Jesus said to Peter, “Launch out into the deep [water] and let down your nets for a catch.” This is a message for us today as we look toward the year of 2017. If you plan to travel the path of the Status Quo then you likely will never break any new barriers or reach new goals in 2017. Just to live your life following the crowd and never be willing to leave your Safety Zone will translate into failure. Sometimes, we are like Peter who fished throughout the night, but caught no…
