RE: 13tH NEWSLETTER
This week's promise: God forgives all sins, no matter how big
A two-way street
""Come now, let us argue this out," says the Lord. "No matter how deep the stain of your sins, I can remove it. I can make you as clean as freshly fallen snow. Even if you are stained as red as crimson, I can make you as white as wool."
Isaiah 1:18 NLT
"Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT
"
About this week's promise:
"The situation referred to in these verses is what we call a "two-way street." We move in humility and repentance toward God, against whom we have sinned. In turn, God moves toward us with forgiveness and restoration. When we obey God, he will send blessing. And when we disobey God, we have the option of humble repentance. Blessings can flow again if our repentance is genuine and not merely a ploy to get "back on God's good side."
This two-way principle is also at work in all our human relationships. When sin has damaged a relationship, we can be restored through honest repentance, met with forgiveness. Sometimes, both parties must repent and forgive, because the fault is shared.

A co-bus rider always asks me about my pools, which pools, how many people are playing and how much the pot is.
Well I was stopping by the Post Office to mail off Beth her letter with $10.00 of $13.00 wins, so she could buy us more Power Ball tickets.
I explained to him that I was getting Power Ball tickets from
He said “Wait, you can’t have Missouri Power Ball tickets in a Louisiana Game.”
He went on to explain to me why, which told me that he doesn’t play in many Lottery Drawings, and participate in any Lottery Pools.
I missed my stop for my Post Office, so I had to stop at the Post Office downtown
I replied something like this: “First off none of this is your concern. You do not play in any of my pools, so why you are so concerned about what I’m doing battles me.
Now 1st off the Name of the Game only helps members in know which game they are playing. 2nd, all my members know what I’m doing, because I send out weekly newsletters. 3, I have 8 members in this pool. Each member paid $20.00 for 1 share so they could play for 20 draws in Power Ball, which were purchased in
We won $13 in wins in
Now the $3.00, I plan to spend in Cash Five.”
He didn’t have time to respond because I had to get off and go to the Post Office.
Now I got the tickets today (they probably came yesterday, but I didn’t stop at the Post Office yesterday). And Beth did a good job, she bought our ticket on Wednesday, January 16th, 2008 – When the Jack Pot was $95.00 Million.
But you already know what happened, don’t you?
