I woke up yesterday to find our beautiful Bradford tree had been struck by lightning. Now from the trunk to the top, it was laying down in our yard and driveway. This tree is really not ours , it is part of our condo subdivision's, however it shaded our front living space , birds played in it and I liked it. It was a shelter for our bird bath , where the robins bathed. By the way, the bird bath was unshakable and had not been moved one bit.

My first words to my husband were "oh no and WHY my tree". Then I begin to think how silly to ask WHY about a tree, thank the Lord it didn't fall inside our home. But as I was reminded from Pastor's sermon Sunday night, there are times in our lives when the question WHY is very real. The loss of a job, loved one, relationship problems and unexpected illness are WHY's. There no real answers to the WHYS. We as Christians can only believe that God is God and He can help us through the WHY's with His word.

And then there was the bird bath, it was unshakable. Standing firm right in the middle of the storm. I want to stand firm in life's storm and I know I can only do that with God's help.

This Sunday , Pastor will be sharing from 1 Timothy 2. Being July 4th weekend, Pastor will be sharing some patriotic quotes in his sermon. Pastor loves history and sometimes incorporates history quotes in his sermons.

I love these:

In 1777, the Continental Congress voted to spend $300,000 to purchase Bibles for distribution in the nation.

President Ronald Regan states: "If we ever forget that we are "One Nation, under God",. then we will be on a nation gone under."

Come join us Sunday to be a part of something good and exciting!

Wow, what a great Father's Day at Eastpoint Family church last week.

This week pastor is speaking on "Peace in the Storm" Hasn't there been alot of storms all over the US? After a tornado hits, there becomes a calmness and sometimes sunshine appears How can that be after such destruction?

How can you have peace IN THE storm of life? Like divorce, death, unemployment, loneliness, sickness, and not enough money. There has to be an answer. Come Sunday to hear THE ANSWER from God's Word.

In our Children's Sunday School Class, Tai, Alex, and Daiza are earning $1dollar bills. The only requirement is to know your memory verse and bring back the Sunday School paper they learned it from. We feel this confirms the Word of God in their heart and also responsibility. Come bring your children for a Godly experience and fun at Eastpoint.

See you Sunday!

Last Friday, it looked like one of my tires was going flat. Thank goodness it did no
t have a nail in it.It only needed some air in it and rest of the tires needed additional air too. Wow, did it make a difference in the ride.

I begin to think , it is just like when I get low spiritually. The earthly ride gets kind of bumpy.
But when I recharge with God's Word , prayer and being in God's house , I get energized again.

Yesterday at Eastpoint was an energizing day. Pastor proclaimed the word and two people came to find Christ as their Savior. One was a young woman who had just lost her 3 year old son to a tragic accident. She wants to live for Jesus now and one day see her son in heaven

Please come join us on Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm for Bible study, prayer, and fun Bible teaching for the children. And Always on Sundays for spirital renewal.

Are you spiritually low? Check your spiritual air gauge.

Life has changes. Birth to death and the inbetween can be uncertain. Some seasons we can be prepared for and others not so prepared. I know that in my own persanal life , without God's word and God's direction I could not make it through all the seasons and changes of life.

That is what you receive at Eastpoint is the God inspired Word teaching.

This Wednesday, pastor is preaching on Mark 14:6 and Sunday looking at Mark 1, continuing speaking on miracles.

We have several people at Eastpoint that need a healing miracle from cancer. We are believing.
Jesus has the power to cure not only physical disease but spiritual affliction was well.

Please come join us to experience they love we have for people and the God's Word.
