'Worry looks around... Sorry looks back... Faith looks up!!!'
"God loves us enough to laugh at the limits we place on Him."

Life is a journey.
It's NOT a guided tour.
So don't miss the ride.
You don't get a second shot at it!
May your troubles be less,
Your blessings be more,
And nothing but happiness come through your door.
May God Bless You

A LOOK BACK AT JUNE... includes the Youth trip to DOOR in Chicago, Bible School,
Cookie Social, Devotions at Pleasant View Home, many boys and girls going to camp,
Communion, beautiful worship music in our services, and our annual church weekend with
Sunday morning worship at camp. This year Joanna Pinkerton and her crew from Hope
Mennonite Church led the worship service using readings, poems, story telling, chalk drawings
and congregational hymns with Joanna acting out some of the stories and prayers.
BOOKS OF THE BIBLE WORD FIND What a challenge! There are 30 books of the Bible in this paragraph. Can you find them?
This is a most remarkable puzzle. It was found by a gentleman in an airplane seat pocket on a
flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu keeping him occupied for hours. He enjoyed it so much
he passed it on to some friends. One friend from Illinois worked on this while fishing from his
john boat. Another friend studied it while playing the banjo. Elaine Taylor, a columnist friend,
was so intrigued by it she mentioned it in her weekly newspaper column. Another friend
judges the job of solving the puzzle so involving, she brews a cup of tea to help her nerves.
There will be some names that are really easy to spot. That's a fact. Some people, however,
will soon find themselves in a jam, especially since the book names are not necessarily
capitalized. Truthfully, from answers we get, we are forced to admit it usually takes a minister
or scholar to see some of them at the worst. Research has shown that something in our genes is
responsible for the difficulty we have in seeing the books in this paragraph. During a recent
fund raising event, which featured this puzzle, the Alpha Delta Phi lemonade booth set a new
sales record. The local paper, The Chronicle, surveyed over 200 patrons who reported that this
puzzle was one of the most difficult they had ever seen. As Daniel Hummana humbly puts it,
"the books are all right there in plain view hidden from sight." Those able to find all of them
will hear great lamentations from those who have to be shown. One revelation that may help is
that books like Timothy and Samuel may occur without their numbers. Also, keep in mind,
that punctuation and spaces in the middle are normal. A chipper attitude will help you compete
really well against those who claim to know the answers. Remember, there is no need for a
mad exodus, there really are 30 books of the Bible lurking somewhere in this paragraph
waiting to be found.
