September 25th at 2pm will be our 3rd annual Christ Over Cancer Day of Hope presented at Woodlawn Church of Christ in Florence, Alabama. Each year this event has grown and we are excited and expecting 2011 to be our most encouraging day yet. This year's event will again feature inspiring stories of hope told by Christian cancer survivors. Also Dr. Robert Mann, a well known Christian physician in Florence, AL, will be speaking on the role of medicine and spirituality. We will have uplifting and encouraging songs performed by CORNERSTONE singing group from Faulkner University. Finally, the 3rd edition of the Christ Over Cancer book will be available for the first time. The newest edition has more stories and devotional thoughts meant to give hope to those dealing with cancer.
We will have a great reception following the event where survivors, caregivers and others will have a chance to encourage and fellowship with one another. We hope you will be able to attend and, "Be prepared to be INSPIRED!" If you have any questions, please call us at 256.767.3170.

Its Great To See You Again
Last year when my family moved, we inherited a little black dog named Jake. Little Jake probably has more breeds in his DNA than Donald Trump has houses. Jake is a mutt if there ever was a mutt. He's never going to win a dog show and no one can accuse him of being the smartest tool in the shed. However, Jake packs more love in his 20 lb frame than most people could muster up in a lifetime.
Whether its raining, sleeting, snowing or sunny, when I pull in my driveway at home, Jake launches himself off the porch and runs to meet my car. He runs beside the car all the way to the garage with his tail wagging back and forth faster than a duck jumping on a june bug. Every single time I leave and come back, it is the same reception. He sits down in front of me with the most hopeful eyes when I get out of the car, just begging for me to spend time with him, to relax and love him. He gives me his utmost attention and there is no place he would rather be than sitting beside me on the steps giving me all the love that he has.
Wouldn't it be nice to have someone each day that is so happy to see you, talk to you , love you and spend time with you? Someone that doesn't carry grudges and only begs for our attention? God is that someone. He never gets tired of hearing you talk, He has endless amounts love and He is ALWAYS happy to see you and spend time with you. Whether you need a shoulder to cry on because of a health issue or someone to talk to when the kids have all gone off to college. He meets you every day, so happy to see you again and is begging for you to spend time with HIM! Matthew 6:33 - "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
So, spend some time today with God, you'll be happy you did.
