Hi everyone,
I have a prayer request. Our next door neighbor Dianne Nabors (Larry is her husband) had the EMT out last night, her heart was fluttering. Withing the last 1 1/2 years she went through treatment for lung cancer and she seems to be doing ok and now last night she had this. The last year and a half has been really tough on them, please keep them in your prayers, thanks.

have a few things... We missed church tonight because Jonathan is a bit under the weather. There's something going around on his swim team and maybe we got it. I've been dragging him all over the place doing Army stuff, today, so he might have just been tired...
Prayer request: My brother Ron and his wife Angie meet with Peyton's lawyer tomorrow. (Angie's daughter form previous marriage, who's father is trying to take her from Angie.) Please pray that the lawyer is discerning and will see what is best for Peyton.
Also, Eric's soldiers are leaving town a week from Monday for their final training before leaving for Iraq in the fall. I am just so heartbroken after being around all these precious families this weekend. Please pray for them as they go through this emotional and stressful week. I heard one wife talking about how tomorrow morning will be their last day to go to church as a family for the next year or so... Thing like that are just so gut wrenching...
The Soldiers will be boarding buses on Monday July 28 around 8:00 am to leave the Armory at Red Bird. (South Dallas) They would love to have a group there to send them off with cheers and signs if anyone is interested.

Update to Praises & Praises July 12th
Hi ABF family
We want to first thank you all for your prayers. They we're truely felt.
The test results did in fact show that Mike does have Relapsing Polychondritis. It also showed that he has mild Sero- negative Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The doctor added another medicine to help him deal with that. But because one of Mike's blood test showed his liver count to be high he was not given the best medicine that is available to him.
When he goes back on August 13th he will get his blood tested & maybe then his liver count will be down. The doctor changed his pain medication so maybe he won't have to take so many. One of the side affects of the new medication is that it can lower his white blood cells (the cells that fight against infections) and cause some big problems.
With all that said we ask that you continue to pray for the following: Mike to be able to work and not have to take off 1-2 days afterwards to regain his strength, for his immune system to get stronger then ever before, for COBRA to get worked out (we are paying for everything and getting reimbursed right now), for his bike and/or trailer to sell, and finally for our family to draw closer to the Lord and each other. Thanks again for your prayers & support. You all are a blessing to our family. Mike & Shana

Yesterday's social
| Hi everyone, I hope you all are having a great start to the week. How fun was yesterday? There was a beach towel left at the pavilion. If you are missing one please contact Shana Murphy (469-338-8533) to see if it is yours. Also the turn out was great yesterday. It was so wonderful to get together and spend time with this great class. In all, we had about 71 people in attendance and 20 families were represented. This included Ms. Farmer and her granddaughter, the sweet family our men have been helping by mowing her grass. What a treat to meet them and share in their joy. We have an amazing group and I am so glad to be a part of it. Thanks for everyone's help with the food and for coming. Have a blessed week. Jenn Tolbert |
Good Shepherd
ABF Family,
What a wonderful weekend. As mentioned in class for the Young's Saturday was great. We finally found some time to just relax as a family. Yes there was a project list as always but we chose to just let it sit for a day. I hope each of you can find time to just relax this summer. As for Sunday, wow. In spite of the extreme heat, a lot of our abf family showed up to eat and have fellowship. Thank you to those that made this special time a reality.
We discussed Jesus as both the Lamb and the Lion on Saturday. I appreciate everyone cracking open their Bibles and reading the descriptions of Jesus. How amazing to have a Savior that is both of these normally apposing characteristics. As we read, he truly fulfills both. Take comfort that regardless of your situation, He will both comfort you and fight your battles when He is called upon.
For this week, we will look at Jesus The Good Shepherd. I look forward to how God speaks to you as you spend time with Him this week.
Be Blessed,
Brian

Church Ministry opportunity
| Good Morning, There is a new ministry that is starting up at Lakpointe - HIV/AIDS ministry. There is an informational meeting this Sunday after church (around 12:10 pm) in room A122. I will be there, as I am so excited that Lakepointe is starting this ministry. I have been waiting for this for awhile. I know that it conflicts with our ABF social, but I just wanted everyone to be aware in case you are interested. Pam |

RE: Would you like to lower your Energy bill? Not an MLM thing... It's free....
| I had the following email forwarded to me from one of Eric's coworkers this afternoon. I called immediately upon receiving it. They will be at my house as soon as we get back from vacation. The state of Texas pays for this, you will only need to pay a $10 gas surcharge for the people to drive to your house. Also it is true that you get a $15 check for every person you refer. Cool! The lady I spoke to on the phone said it was done on her house and her most recent electric bill was 10% lower than the month before. My most recent bill was double that of the previous month... -Cindy ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ Subject: Need help with your electric bill?? READ!!!! HI Everyone, Hope you are having a great summer!! Thought I would share a free service to you: I got a ENERGY ASSESSMENT this morning. It should help in our electric bill. The Public Utility Commission of Texas has mandated that energy usage be reduced. This statewide energy conservation program is available to qualified Electric Customers. So..... what that means is IT'S FREE!!! If your house is 5 Years old or older, you can have this company come out and they will caulk doors, windows, air vents, anything that needs it. They put a fan in the doorway and suck out the air in your house and go around checking for air leaks EVERYWHERE!!!! They put weather stripping on all doors that need it. Your A/C air duct work computer tested and repaired. Carbon Monoxide test, if you have gas appliances. Air infiltration test and draft control improvement, etc. This is provided by the Government to help you "Go Green". So, if you would like to do this, and I do not know why you wouldn't want to. Remember it's FREE, if your house is 5 yrs. or older. Call Jack @ 214-215-3037. Leave a message and they will call you back. Tell them that Marla Coy sent you. For everyone you refer, you get a $15.00 check. So, it's good for you too. :) Have a Blessed Day! Marla Coy |
ABF Family:
It was good to see each other Saturday night. Those who were not there, know that you were missed and we hope to see you in class soon. I hope everyone enjoyed the rest of their weekend.
Speaking for the guys in the class, Sunday was an awesome day of service and fun. We started the morning with mowing at Ms. Farmer's house. Once again, we had nine guys show up and we were done in under twenty minutes. Joe Cruz had even come by earlier in the week and picked up Ms. Farmer's broken mower. He was able to get it running again and used it on the yard this week. What this shows me is that our class has a heart to not just do the bare minimum in ministry for one another and others. Instead, our class looks for opportunities to meet needs that go beyond the surface, doing more and more to show the love of God. In the afternoon, a group of ten guys from the class gathered for our men's laser tag/whirlyball event. It was a great time of friendly competition and fellowship. Who knows, we may have to start a Young ABF whirlyball team. If you weren't able to make it this time, don't worry. We will definitely plan another whirlyball event in the future.
***Note from Blog Editor...See "Favorite Website Section" for the Word of the Week.*** Brian will continue to lead us in our study of the names of Jesus. I guess it is fitting that the week following "Bread of Life" would be "Living Water." Please take time this week to prepare for the discussion in class. Above all else, take time each day to pick up your daily amount of manna from heaven in the form of Jesus. Spend time with Him and let His manna sustain you.

Missions
Good Morning,
We had such a great time last weekend at the ALife church. They were so hospitable. The joy and love of the Lord just exuded from them. Their worship was wonderful. They were so free and expressive. We also enjoyed the delicious African food. Thanks to those who came out to support this. I believe I speak for everyone who went that we were definitely blessed.Here is a pic of our group after eating. A few had to leave early.

Mike Murphy Update
Just a quick update on the tests Mike has undergone the past couple of days - some of the tests have apparently shown some results not previously detected in the tests run by the other doctors, specifically with the issue affecting Mike's ribs. Please continue to pray for wisdom and knowledge for the doctors and medical technicians as they decipher the results of the test and try to diagnose Mike.
Please also continue to pray for the Murphys in the following areas: 1) Mike is giving up smoking and will need strength and prayers as he battles through the withdrawal and cravings, and 2) Mike is currently trying to sell his motorcycle, trailer and truck to help alleviate some of their financial obligations during this time that he is out of work. Please pray that God will bring buyers to the Murphys.

Also I want to say congratulations to Brian Young, Barry Brooks and Tim Glasson for going for their goal at the Ironman in Idaho last weekend. I'm not sure how it turned out for you guys, but to train the way y'all did and attempt it, is awesome. I would tend to believe that you would have to be Inspired by Him.

RE: ABF Announcements 06-21-08
Good evening All,
I have to confess, I visit and watch Joel Osteen regulaly and I am making my monthly visit to Lakewood Church in Houston this evening. Yes, this is the Joel Osteen chuch. God chose to use him the night I hit rock bottom in October 2003. He had a message on at 1:00 AM when I came in from the bar for the last time. I have never seen or heard of Joel being on at 1:00 AM since that night.
With God all thing are possible...I frequently remind myself how true that is.
Be blessed!

Jennifer Update
Hello everyone,
Sorry for the late email!
I emailed about two weeks ago to let everyone know that the first work night went so well. I had two ladies and 3 teenage girls that were such a blessing and really got a lot accomplished.
Last week, we didn't go for two reason. One, no one else was had expressed an interest in going. And I didn't keep trying to find someone to go, because Jennifer thought she was probably going to have to work late...
This week, I didn't email earlier, because I was sure if Jennifer had a conflict...
But she doesn't and needs some help... We could do it tonight or tomorrow night which ever night I can get a little help... If I could just find 2 or 3 people.
The dinning room still has several boxes that need to be unpacked. She still needs work on her closet and we need to buy/install braces for the rod in there. And honestly the whole garage pretty much needs to be emptied out, sorted, and repacked... She's certain there is a box of dirty clothes in there, but we can't find it. Very exhausted people just put boxes and things in the garage as the house filled up and there was no where for things to go...
If you could please let me know if you could help tonight or tomorrow that would be great. please call my cell. 972-898-2540.
Thursday is Jennifer's birthday, so I'll probably pick up a cake on the way, maybe a little snack..
If you can't help, but would like to send your helpful teenager, I would be happy to drive them!

Mike Murphy update
Mike has an appointment tomorrow AM with a specialist that will hopefully shed some light on the medical issues he is experiencing. The appointment is very early in the morning. The appointment itself is an answer to prayer. As of yesterday, they were not going to be able to get an appointment until July 11th. The doctor's office called today and said they had an opening for tomorrow. Mike's insurance currently only goes through the end of this month, so you can see how the moved up appointment is both a blessing financially and mentally. Please pray for Mike and the doctors that God will give them wisdom and knowledge to address Mike's medical needs.
Also, Mike is currently trying to sell some of his items. Someone is supposed to come look at his motorcycle today. Please pray that God will bring buyers so Mike and Shana will have sufficient funds to meet their obligations while Mike is out of work.

Praises & Prayers 6/21/08 More Updates
Hello ABF Family,
I have another prayer request. As many of you know I have been baby sitting since January for a single mother of two. Her name is Shelly Warren and she lost her job last week. She receives no help from the father of the kids who lives in Mississippi. As with anyone who losses a job there is always fear, but Shelly is the only provider these kids have and she is unable to collect unemployment. Her last employer gave her a company car which was a blessing when her husband left two years ago as he took the car they owned. Her ex employer told her that he would sign over the car to her if she would sign a statement saying she quit. She was between a rock and a hard spot, she was going to loose her job either way, but felt having a car would be the better of the two. If you could keep her in prayer as she looks for a job that I know she would appreciate it. Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
Theresa Cruz

RE: Thoughts on Healing
Mike:
Thanks for the question. Since you've been studying Mark, I'm sure you already know that there is some question as to the authenticity of Mark 16.9-20 since other earlier copies of the gospel do not include those passages. In the discussions on this passage of which I am familiar, most people focus on the snake-handling and poison-drinking statements. I don't think I've heard many arguments disputing the driving out of demons, speaking in tongues or healing through the laying on of hands. As we discussed in class Saturday night, when faith is evident and present, Jesus/God can heal all physical, emotional, relational and spiritual wounds because he has been given supremacy over everything (Col. 1.15-20). I do not believe this passage is a command to the believers to start picking up snakes or drinking poison as a test of their faith, although there are bodies of believers that seemingly base their entire doctrine and worship on those two statements.
Is there a Biblical example of snake handling? Yes. When Moses was uncertain about confronting Pharaoh, God told Moses to throw his staff down and it turned into a snake. When Moses picked it up by the tail, it became a staff again. Aaron and Moses did this in front of Pharaoh, but there was a reason. Exodus 4.5 says: "This," said the LORD, "is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you." (NIV) You see, the attention/glory for handling the serpent was to be turned to God, not the handler. As for the drinking of poison, I cannot recall any specific example, but I do recall a passage during the exodus from Egypt where bitter water was miraculously turned into sweet, drinkable water for the Israelites. Again, this was performed for the glory of God and not for an individual.
Even if we accept these passages as authentic and the Spirit-breathed Word to us, I do not see them as a command to engage in those activities as a test of one's faith which is how they are used most commonly today. I believe the intent by the author is to show that no attempt to squash the spread of the gospel message would work. Remember, that the early Christians were often persecuted. Both the leaders of Judaism who did not accept Christ and the civilian government wanted to put a stop to the spread of Christ's message because it was seen as a threat to their own "power" and "authority". Could it be that attempts may have been made to poison the leaders of this new radical movement? Possibly, but that may just be the conspiracy theorist in me coming out. The real point is this, I think: God's Son Jesus Christ came to bring reconciliation between God and mankind and, for those that live in faith and seek to share that good news, God will do mighty and wonderful things (yes, even supernatural) in their lives as a result of their obedience so that glory will be brought to His name. Does that mean that I should go out and pick up venomous snakes and drink poison as a test of my faith and a test of God's honoring of my faith? I don't believe so. However, if God so chooses to bring glory to His name in that manner when I am faced with that circumstance, then He will do so in His divine judgment and discretion.
That is just my thoughts on it. I guess you have to be careful what you ask for...;o)

Word for the Week: "Bread of Life"
ABF family:
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Congratulations to Barry Brooks, Tim Glasson and Brian Young on their accomplishments with the Ironman triathlon in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. We should also give a big thank you to Pam Gatton for coordinating the class mission experience with our sister church in Arlington and to Chad Sledge and Bobby Hale for coordinating the men's service opportunity at Ms. Farmer's house in Rockwall. Our class is extending out beyond the walls of room W214 making an impact for Christ in our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. With that said, please be in prayer for the Prda's as they make final preparations to represent our class, our church and, most importantly, our Saviour in Russia during the month of July.
It was an honor for me to be before you on Saturday night leading the discussion on Jesus as Healer. Brian will be back this Saturday. ***Note fom Blog Editor...See "Our Favorite Websites" for the Word for the Week***. This week, we will look at Jesus as "Bread of Life".
May you live in God's blessings this week.

How many guys will be able to mow Mrs. Farmer's yard this Sunday 8am? This conflicts with those attending the Arlington Church but if we have enough guys that are not going to Arlington and will be able to mow then we will not change the time.
Thanks.

ABF Men's Whirlyball Event
Men,
Our Whirlyball/Laser tag event is scheduled for Sunday June, 29th. We need to be at the location in Plano (NW corner of Independence & Parker) by 1:45pm. We will meet on the west side of the Church under the parking garage at 12:45pm to carpool. The parking lot should be cleared enough by then from those Sunday churchgoers. The cost per person will depend on how many guys attend. The whirlyball will be $150 for the group and lasertag is $5/person. So, for 15 guys the cost would be $15 total. We should be done by 4:00pm at the latest then we can go get something to eat or whatever. If you have never done this before, it is a lot of fun and does not require any athletic ability which is great for me! Come on. Bumper cars and a wiffle ball. Genius combination!Please reply to me if you are planning on attending so we can get a headcount and know who is in the carpool so we don't leave before you get there. Also, feel free to contact me with any questions. I have included the website for the whirlyball place and a google map link to the location.
