Good Morning,
Another beautiful day! Some of you out there must be living right to warrant this wonderful spring-like weather. Please keep it up. I need your help this morning - a lady in our neighborhood needs a ride to the Wayside clinic in East Houston to pick up her prescription. Anyway somebody can help her out? If so, please call me @ 281-831-6044.
The funeral services for Timothy Morrow will be Saturday at 6pm at Fellowship of the Nations (Woodforest Baptist). The visitation on Friday will be for family members only. Please lift up this hurting family.
Again, if you would like to ride with me to the services for Loretta please call the church office between 10am and 2pm today.
If you would like to minister with us at Cenikor tonight please either meet us there at 6:30 or be here at the church at 6pm to ride with us. If you are making cakes and pies for tonight please drop them by the church before 3:30 today or bring them with you tonight.
Next Thursday is Spirit Night at Chick-Fil-A. Just wanted to remind you a week ahead. We are adding cars to the mix. Not just any cars but classic street rods. Expanding the ministry is the goal. Reaching out to more people with different interests. Know anybody that runs, restores, likes, owns -classics, street rods - cars, trucks? Send them our way to Dean Chasnoff, Rick Crawford, or myself.
I've got to run, love, Ken

Good Evening,
The funeral and viewing for Loretta Porterfield will be at Liberty Community Church 4856 FM 3242 Cameron, TX 76556
i informed you incorrectly of times earlier today. Viewing will be 10am-1pm and Funeral services will be at 2pm. The address says Cameron but it is right off Hwy. 79 just outside Milano.
If you would like to go please let the church office know and I will drive the church van. Please understand that I will need to be there from the beginning of the viewing to the closing prayer at the cemetery. That means we will leave the church parking lot at 7:30am and most likely not arrive back until 7:30 pm. The arrival time could be much later - I have no control over that. Please let the church office know between 10am and 2pm tomorrow if you desire to go. Please pray for the family. Nighty night, Ken

Good Morning,
Wow what a beautiful day. A great day for lunch under a tree somewhere, don't you think? Give it a try. Speaking of food, tonight is Family Meal night with meat loaf, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, new potatoes w/butter, greens, black-eye peas, salad, etc. That's at 6pm and then Bible Study and prayer and praise at 7pm. Why not join us? The meal is just $4 and everything else is free. What a deal, Lucille.
With economic times as they are and the state of the union as it is, I still haven't heard any of our leaders in Washington, including Numero Uno, volunteer to take a pay cut or work a year without pay. I know, with 14 trillion dollar debt load their salaries would not make much difference, but it would set an example, show some serious concern about our situation and may awaken some other business leaders. Maybe this is too simple of a starting spot from a simple mind. Trickle down usually doesn't work in economics but in example it may, but what do I know?
The funeral services for Loretta Porterfield will be Friday at Liberty Baptist Church outside Milano at 1pm with visitation that same day and place from 10am-noon. I will try to have a map available tomorrow. Mark Morrow's nephew, Timothy Morrow as found dead in Beaumont yesterday morning. Please lift up this family as so many things have hit them lately. Betty Moore is getting much stronger as she was sitting up in a chair yesterday when I went to see her. She is in room 2007 at Triumph if you would like to go see her.
You missed a great blessing at Premier Restaurant last night. Thanks to all who were involved there and all who attended. We had a great time. There have been some menu items added and the inside has been painted a different scheme and pictures added - it looks good and from what I heard the new menu items are very good. We will be back there on the 4th Tuesday next month.
Tomorrow night is Cenikor night as we lead in worship annd Bible Study at their facility in Deer prk. We will also serve pie and cake at the end so we need your help. Please bring pies and cakes and brownies and cookies tonight or tomorrow. If you have questions please see a Juncture class member as this ministry at Cenikor is one of their out reach ministries. We will leave the churhc at 6:00pm in the van if you would like to go with us tomorrow night. We would love to have you and you wil be blessed.
I must go, love, Ken.
Tuesday, January 25, 2011 Good Morning,
Rain, rain go away. Looks like you guys had much more of the wet stuff yesterday than we did in Louisiana. Now it's time to get dried off. Thanks for all you have done for our family, especially over the last few days. Terry, Roxie and I will do our best to thank each of you personally very soon.
Mark Morrow called early this morning to let me know that Loretta Porterfield passed away last night in Temple. Mark and I told Kay and Herman Hairston the news this morning. Please pray for this family. In the Hairston's living room we all agreed that Loretta is in a much better place, dancing, singing, pain free and in God's presence. My dad would have called Loretta a firecracker - a little package with a lot of power. She will be missed. Dance on, little one.
The family will be making arrangements this afternoon. As soon as I hear the details I will send them your way.
Tonight is Cornbread's Cafe Gospel Night, 6-8 pm. Cornbread's has changed names to Premier Restaurant and we will ease into that name change next month on all of our listings and such. If you would like to ride the church van tonight please call the church office today. The van will leave here at 5:15pm. There are hundreds of restaurants that COULD open their doors to Christian music, but they don't. Cornbread's / Premier has and does. We must support and value this opportunity as so many others have been taken away from us in the public sector areas of schools, courtrooms, city halls, etc., etc., etc. Please go, not I want to go. Be there... tell a friend...bring a friend. Take time...make time.
Jamie Polk just stopped in and wanted me to let all of you know that he is available for any type of small jobs around your home and/or business. If you have a need for yard work, light carpentry, painting, etc. Please email him jamespptl@aol.com . Many thanks.
We began a series on Sunday morning, entitled, "What If..." The first was "What if I had pure thoughts and pure attitude." This si the first of about six studies we will do on Sunday mornings throught the end of February. Each week there will be questions asked. concerning the topic. Some have asked that I send out the questions that were asked this last Sunday, so here goes. In regard to my thoughts and attitudes: 1.) Do I tend to think more about worldly things than spiritual? 2.) Does the focus of my thoughtsoften indicate a lack of first love passion for Jesus? 3.) Do I spend more time on hobbies, sports or recreation than God's Word and prayer? 4.) Do I have any patterns of unclean or lustful thoughts? 5.) Have I opened the door to impurity by anything I view on-line or in other media? 6.) Do I frequently have thoughts that are envious or jealous? 7.) Am I overly competitive or self-exalting? 8.) Am I interested in serving God only if I can have a preeminent role? 9.) Am I determined to get my way? 10.) Am I overly interested in being noticed? 11.) Do I often have thoughts that are angry or resetful? 12.) Am I frequently dominated by thoughtsof doubt instead of trust? 13.) Do I frequently brood about harsh thingsI would like to say to certain people or groups? 14.) Have I just lied to myself about the reality of my thoughts and attitude as I answered these questions?
The solution for change if some of your answers were upsetting or unpleasing is the following: 1.) Confess and FORSAKE whatever God has revelaed. 2.) Surrender your thoughts and yield them to Jesus. 3.) Believe Christ to live through you by the Holy Spirit. 4.) Resolve now to put off all sinful thoughts and put on Christ by faith. 5.) Trust God for the fulness of the Holy Spirit. 6.) Replace thoughts and attitudes that don't match Jesus' with righteous ones. 7.) Make a list of what you want to change, then get busy in prayer and renewed effort.
See you later, love, Ken
