A couple of years ago, the national media carried the story of a winner in the American Family Publishers' Sweepstakes. A notice arrived at the Bushnell Assembly of God Church in Sumter County, Florida, announcing that God was a finalist for the $11 million top prize!In the letter, the publishers wrote: "God, we've been looking for you." It went on to suggest how surprised God's neighbors would be to hear that God had won!Many people were surprised to discover that God's mailing address was in Sumter County, Florida! Others wondered about those neighbors who might be impressed with God's good luck. Finally, some of us might be thinking that since God is now so rich, God no longer needs our financial contributions, not to speak of our time and talents, that we have to offer. Not so! The "mite" we have to offer, if it comes from our hearts, is still "mighty," for it speaks to the heart of God.

I’m going to be out-of-pocket for a couple of weeks this month due to some minor surgery. All of the terrific programs of this church will continue without pause, of course!
