Today was the chili cook off and the winners are:

thanks to all who entered

..I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly.” – John 10:10b

“Two teenagers fatally shot last night.”

“A police officer shot and killed.”

“A meth house discovered in an upper middle class neighborhood.”

“Hundreds massacred by militant terrorist group.”

We’re constantly bombarded with bad news on newscast after newscast. It’s depressing. The harsh reality of the daily news challenges those who believe that man is inherently good and the world is getting better.

The Bible tells us the truth. Human beings are not innately good and kind, and society is not progressing toward universal peace and harmony. Why, just the opposite is true! Man’s sin is a constant reality and if we don’t want to believe it, we can just ignore the news and refuse to lock our doors at night.

There is good news, however. God is in control of history and anyone who acknowledges his need for God in Christ holds the key to inner peace and security. For in Christ, whether we live or die, we can’t lose. Christ gives us the key to eternal life and living this life victoriously.

There’s an increasing number of people/employees with flu-like symptoms.

 

Here are prevention measures:

• Employees with influenza-like illness (fever with a cough or sore throat) should stay home and not attend work.
• If you are sick, stay home until you have been fever-free and symptom-free for 24 hours. This is to keep from infecting others and spreading the virus further.
• Employees who appear to have an influenza-like illness at arrival or become ill during the day should be sent home immediately.

 

In addition, please take these everyday steps to protect your health:

• If your are experiencing chills, achiness, nausea or any of these symptoms at all, please do not come to work. During the early stages is when they are the most contagious!
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” – 1 John 4:8

February is the month when you hear about love. Valentines, candies, and flowers are everywhere you turn. Today, February 14, is the day we’ve chosen to celebrate the ones we love.

But what is real love? It’s not lust or an emotion, or merely a sentimental state of mind. There is romantic love, and the love of family and friends. But, the Bible tells us the highest love is not based on feelings, but a commitment of our will. This love is patient and kind. It’s not envious or arrogant or rude. It’s not selfish or easily angered. It doesn’t keep a record of how others have wronged us. It puts up with a lot and endures with hope. It doesn’t run away when the going gets tough.

Real love never stops loving. God IS love – real love. He shows us this love through the life and sacrificial death of Jesus Christ. Have faith in Him and you can experience true love. His love will empower you to show real love to others.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
