Night of Comfort and Service

Last night, the Women's Ministry at our church put on a Night of Comfort and Service.  It began with a potluck dinner with lots of good food and conversation. 

After dinner, everyone adjourned to the gym where there were several serving stations set up.  Kyleigh helped make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and later helped make sack lunches for a local food bank and a homeless shelter for families.

Janice helped pack snacks, also for the food bank and the homeless shelter and also helped pack lunches.

I helped cut out waterproof linings for sanitary pads that go to girls/women in underdeveloped countries.  They use these instead of disposable pads which are hard to come by.

There were also stations for rolling bandages using strips from old sheets and crocheting plastic bags into mats for the homeless.

Afterward, there was a short worship service focusing on prayer led by three students from Concordia University.   They'd also set up prayer stations so that you could write a prayer request on a 3x5 card and leave it in a bowl.  At the same time you were able to take someone else's prayer request and pray for it later.

What a good idea as a group and a very worthwhile thing to do.

You should see how my buddy Wesley Virgin's biography launches with this SHOCKING and controversial video.

You see, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" tactics that the CIA and others used to obtain whatever they want.

THESE are the EXACT same secrets many celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.

You probably know that you use only 10% of your brain.

That's really because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

Perhaps that expression has even occurred IN YOUR very own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain around 7 years back, while riding an unregistered, trash bucket of a vehicle without a driver's license and $3.20 in his pocket.

"I'm very frustrated with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I get my big break?"

You've been a part of those those questions, isn't it so?

Your success story is waiting to be written. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.

What a great way to spend an evening. The youth group does something like this for the homeless in Baltimore, making bag lunches and delivering them. It is certainly eye opening for the kids helping.
