PRAYER REQUEST:
My Friend, Susan, of NC, a frequent contributor to our Newsletters, is quite ill. On 02/10/14 she was on her third day of "feeling sick." Things quickly escalated, and she found herself in the ICU with dangerously high blood pressure (on the second day of hospitalization "down" to 183/90), dangerously low potassium, and critically low sodium levels. Your prayers will be appreciated. |

THIS DAY IN WWII:

THIS DAY IN 1965:
Friday, February 12, 1965 - It was Lincoln's birthday then, too (his 156th). Otherwise, nothing much seems to have happened... |
“It isn't as bad as
you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to
myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will
all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and
confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not
forsake us....If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him,
if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.”
