GOD SHOWS UP EVERYWHERE

It is amazing where God shows up.
Today after visiting Lois Garrett between her physical therapist and nurse visit, where she looks ready to go to a party with her hair fixed and her lipstick on, I went to Kiwanis where I heard how God has worked in the community.
As you know the person who is responsible for Cross Plains is Debbie Gosnell who was the program brought by James Alexander. She started her talk telling how on December 27 she told herself that she couldn't handle another disaster in Cross Plains and was ready to quit. Her brother, Rick Potter, (who contributes comments to this blog) told her that with God's help she could do it. God told her she couldn't do it but He could. With that assurance and the prayers of her pastor, Ron White, she was able to work with the other hard-working city employees and the citizens to have the city cleaned up in 3 months.
I was sitting next to Jim Senkel and he said they had just used the fork lift elevator system at the Presbyterian church to install a brand new big organ on loan for a year from an organ dealer who had also provided one for the Kokomo Baptist Church that burned. Jim said our organist, Betty Lewis, loved it. I saw her at Higginbothams and she confirmed the feeling. She said she couldn't wait to get off work and go practice on it.
God continues to bless Cross Plains and FUMC.
Charles
