Blessed with RAIN!

Good Evening Everyone! How are you doing?

Sarah is home from NASA in Houston with her physics class yesterday, and turned around with the band heading for San Antonio's Sea World today. She is home earlier than expected because of the downpours. We have had more than three inches of rain so far since mid-night. It has mostly been regular rain with little rain and thunder. What a relief! The crepe myrtles on the north side of the house are enjoying the rain. The middle one put out leaves the last couple of days. The others still look green. We will need to mow soon, but after drying.

Monday, May 18, 2009; night is the spring band concert in the Baird High School Auditorium at 6 PM. We would love to see you there if possible.

Tuesday is the deadline for Campaign 11 Avon orders and AdvoCare Building Champions orders. I will be visiting customers for orders on Monday and Tuesday after school.

Wednesday, the senior start their final examinations to be finished by Friday so there is plenty of time to make sure the seniors can graduate. We have ten days of school left. Whoohoo!

Thursday is Robert's 18th birthday. It goes so fast. Thursday is also my next Ignite, Inc. opportunity meeting at 7 PM sharp at the Hilton Garden Inn in Abilene, TX. Please pass this information along to anyone who might be interested in a home business opportunity. Just have them call me.

Friday is Emily, my neices, 12th birthday and we are a week closer to being out of school. I know that Robert and Emily can't wait for the end of school ;-).

Hopefully Saturday we can breath, deliver orders, and clean a little house. We also need to do some more work in Breckenridge and bring another load down to Putnam.

Sunday is Gary, my brother-in-law's, birthday. He should be 29 by now.

May is always so busy. June has to be a little slower so we can catch up ;-).

Have a Great Weekend!
Brad

Coronation Day

Tonight is coronation at Baird High School. Robert has been voted one of the favorites-type honors. Thankfully, his tuxedo from two years ago still fits. He is working today. Robert is also running track. His first trackmeet is in Gorman next Thursday.

Sarah was not getting scheduled consistent numbers of hours at Dairy Queen, so she quit and is working "contract" for some of the family members here in Putnam. Once one-act play will be over, she will be actively looking for a job with more consistent hours.

I am going through Herbalife's Wellness Coach training over the new materials and organization recently coming out. I am interested in going through anyone who is interested in completing a wellness profile interview and recommendations. I am also continuing to enroll electricity customers. I am still looking for some people who would like to improve their income position by becoming an Independent Associate who I can help duplicate what I've been able to do for electric customers and associates. Feel free to send anyone my information that would be interested in these items.

Kerry has been extremely busy this week with a state auditor in town. She is glad that is over, but she is 'on-call' next week. At school, we are a week and a half away from the English/language arts TAKS test. The school year is just zooming. Spring break will be here before we know it. Our's is the third week in March.

Well, I'd better get back to the training.

Have a Great Week!

Nickels for Bibles

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Below is a reprint of a program to buy Bibles, postage, envelops, and supplies for students of World Bible School and for missionaries around the world called "Nickels for Bibles."

The letter reads:

"Thanks to all who have brough in their "Nickels for Bibles" in the past few weeks. Our expence for Bibles for World Bible School (WBS) students in October was $150.00. If you are not already saving nickels (and pennies, dimes, and quarters) for Bibles, please pick up one of the Nickels for Bibles collection cans and start helping with this need. Hundres of thousands of young people in Africa need Bibles and ate too poor to buy one. When starting the WBS work, we were told that many students who enrooled would not be able to continue because they could not afford postage stams and in some countries, an envelope cost more that a stamp!

"Jesus said "wide is the gate and broad is the way, that leads to destruction," Matthew 7:13. In John 12:48, He said, "the word that I have spoken will be his judge on the last day."

"In a recent telecomunications with Chester Woodhall, he made the comment, we tell people that itis not what we say, but rather what the Bible says that matters. An yet the problem persists that most people who are receptive to our teaching and preaching do not have have the Book!

"In the early 70's, a surge of interest in Bible distruibution developed by many members of Churches of Christ throughout North America. To promote faithful Bible translation a good member of Churches of Christ preachers teamed up to develop some of the Bibles needed to fill the lack of Bibles in 3000 languages as reported by the American Bible Society. Some of our Nickels for Bibles funds were spent to support several projects including the English Version for the Deaf Bible. Jesus said, "Lift up your eyes, and look to the fields, for they are white for harvest." John 4:34-35

"And such was the insistence of American service men-faithful Christians- returning from te battlefields following World War II. Many devoted themselves to preparing for mission work and as they settled in mission fields around the world, they used Bible coreespondence courses to make contacts for prospective converts.

"Some year's later as studies of methods and effectiveness of mission work was publicized, one glaring problem cameinto focus in 1970. Bible correspondence students did not have Bibles! And as the fact was reported by more than a hundred of Church of Christ missionaries, our Nickels for Bibles program was strted in October, 1970 to help meet needs."

--Chal Burgess

Our preacher, Mark Burgess, has approached the Putnam congregation to help this program to begin a regular ministry for our congregation. If you or your congregation would like to participate, let me know by email. If you have funds to send to the program, please send it to "Nickels for Bibles"; c/o Brad Loveland; PO Box 1106; Putnam, TX 76469 and the Putnam congregation will get it to the program. All help is appreciated.

God Bless You,
Brad
