Life Quote – July 8
When you realize all that is attainable by marrying and unattainable by living together without marrying, you have to wonder why anyone would voluntarily choose not to marry the person he or she wishes to live with forever.” Dennis Prager, author, talk show host, and syndicated columnist. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life / www.lutheransforlife.org

“Orders is Orders”
Some orders are doable, but Jesus gives instructions for living that are beyond our ability to follow. (Luke 10:25-28)

A Note from Vivian Mock
Thank you all so much for the many birthday cards I received for my 100th birthday. With each card came fond memories of all of you! The Lord has been very good to me and I keep looking forward to singing praises when He takes me home to be with Him.
Thank you again,
Vivian Mock
[Vivian went home to be with her Lord on July 1, 2007.]
