Ephesians 4:14

Pastor Ken asked me to remind you of our theme for this year -- Ephesians 4:14

Stop and think about this year 2008 and what a difference it will make in the rest of your life and the rest of history.

Life is full of 4’s… Four Seasons – Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter; Four Part of a Day – Morning, Noon, Evening, Night; Four Quarters in Sports – 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th; and Life – Childhood, Youth, Adult and Senior Adult. Each brings it’s special gifts and challenges.

Life is all about 1– One God who created everything … One Lord who is Savior of all who will believe … One Faith, One Baptism, One Church which is His body and One Life to decide eternity!

Life is short but Eternity is 4-ever! Let us grow up!

Pray for Revival.

My name is Deacon….some call me Little Deacon or Booger. I am about 2 ½ to 3 years old. I showed up at First Baptist Church in August of 2006…lost, hungry, and scrawny. While watching me picking at and trying to eat a half-eaten doughnut out on the church grounds, my best bud T found some lunch meat and cheese in the church workroom kitchen. After gobbling it up, he put me on a steady of cat food, and I quickly moved from scrawny to hefty. So now I am on Hills Prescription Diet. I was in therapy for a while suffering from identity crisis, when fellow church member Doc, retired veterinarian, declared that I was a female. We even changed my name briefly to Deaconess. But that was short lived when T took me to Dr. J at the Veterinarian Clinic to be spayed. Imagine everyone’s surprise when it was discovered that I was indeed a male…albeit a neutered one. Anyway I got a free weekend stay at the clinic out of the ordeal. My testimony is: “ I was once lost, but was miraculously found, and am now Deacon, the official mascot of First Baptist Church, Decatur." By the way, the rodent and other varmint population is almost non-existent at the church…so I do earn my keep and very prestigious position. Let me hear from you. Email me at deaconthecat@gmail.com.
