I hope all is well with everyone. We all know that all the bills may not be paid on time, repairs on homes or vehicles may be needed and/or our health may be failing but nevertheless, all can still be well. The book of Philippians 4:6-7 speaks of a “Peace that surpasses all understanding” that comes from Jesus Christ. I choose to accept this Peace and you can too. This Peace makes everything well…just try it and see.

*Relationships: Our relationship with Jesus Christ is by far the most important of all others. Our relationship with others is vital to our spiritual and physical well being.
I would like to share with you that I participated in a relationship-building activity this past weekend that spawned a number of friendships almost instantly. I joined a group of travelers on a day trip to NOLA for brunch and a show at the Saenger Theater.
A series of things happened as follows: First, the group leader and I had the same first name which made way for mutual fun interaction, she then proceeded to introduce me to a nice lady named Joan. Joan and I chatted briefly on the bus and as a result,she saved a seat for me at the Cafe. This led to me being introduced to Joan’s friends, Michelle and Marsha and the rest is history. We four enjoyed our meal and had pleasant conversation together…nice huh? We four further sat together in the theater to enjoy the stage play, It’s A Wonderful World; Louis Armstrong.
All I’m trying to say is that God works through people if we participate in the fellowship. By the way, did I mention that this was the first time that I had met any of these ladies?
