Coupons for baby formula

Yes, it’s the mama writing this time to all our readers who are moms or know moms using baby formula.  As many of you know, we have needed to feed all three of our sons on baby formula and all three have done fantastic on the Parent’s Choice (Walmart) formula. It is sooooo much less expensive than the other brands and exactly the same as the name brands.  A large can is $12.88 versus the $23 Enfamil.  To make this deal even sweeter, I just found the following information on coupons to help slash the price even more!   Pass on to your friends and family as well!   

Call PMB Nutritionals at 800-272-5095 to request your $3 coupon. You can request this every thirty days.  It may take up to six weeks to receive your coupons, but you can still call every 30 days to request more coupons.  They rely on word-of-mouth recommendations as they do not advertize so as to keep the costs low.

The Lordsmen II???

Pawpaw, Dad, Aunt Jan, & Uncle Rick

Seemingly many moons ago, back in the 1970’s a singing group came on the scene, no not the Jackson 5, but the Lordsmen.  My grandfather thought it wise to enlist the singing services of his college age twin boys.  Thus the Lordsmen were born.  No longer touring, Southern gospel enthusiasts await the next great family sound to emerge (fitting word for Durands).  Rumor has it that one such group might make quite a splash.  Could this young trio of boys surpass the legacy of the original???  Stay Tuned…

Durand General Hospital

Room 103 at Durand General

This morning we awoke to two little boys who had an unfortunate case of the Stomach bug.  Thus, we converted our living room into Durand General Hospital.  The boyz are not real excited having been admitted!  Pray they recover soon!

Worldliness

I am enjoying a new book I picked up entitled Worldliness.  That doesn’t sound good when a pastor confesses he is enjoying a book with such a ”worldlytitle.”   However, I want to assure you that the aim of the book is to help believers combat the seductive allure of the world.

  A dear brother and I are reading and discussing a chapter each week.  Consider this little gem in chapter 1 about an enormous problem facing American believers, “Today the greatest challenge facing American evangelicals is not persecution from the world, but seduction by the world.”  I think he is right on.  This book is a meditation and application of 1 John 2:15.  One helpful part of chapter 1 is the author’s ability to describe some of the symptoms of worldliness.  Consider the following of one teetering on disaster, “He sits in church but is not excited to be there.  She sings songs without affection.  He listens to preaching without conviction.  She hears but does not apply.” 

Finally, the author reminds us of why worldliness can be so dangerous.  Mahaney writes, “We must fight worldliness because it dulls our affection for Christ and distracts our attention from Christ.  Worldliness is so serious because Christ is so glorious.”

King’s Club: Week 3

Kids singing "The River of Life"

Another great day at NRBC.  There were 17 children present for King’s Club today.  At least 8 of these children visited for the first time.  We are so thankful that God is bringing these children to our club.  It is a real joy to share the Gospel with them in word, in craft, and in song.  They seem to be having a good time.  Thanks to all of you who are praying and assisting with this great work!

Church Discipline

All across the SBC there is a call for a recovery of church discipline.  In an effort to be a good example to sister churches, we wish to be faithful to that task.  We didn’t realize however, that  practicing church discipline would take on a whole new meaning this morning.

The church secretary discovered a little brown snake slivering across the hall this morning.  Fortunately, myself  and brother Drew were present.  I confronted the snake first, then I took Drew with me, finally having exhorted the little fellow to exit the building, we had to put the snake out of the church with a broom.   Do you think we should have waited until our next church conference to decide the little fellow’s fate?

“Study Buddies”

Cecil & Jermaine

Although our church is not in a major metropolitan area, we are in the heart of Roxboro, surrounded by the people.  Two of my little buddies are Jermaine and Cecil.  These two stop by at least once a week, often once an hour.  Sometimes I am tempted to think of them as interruptions rather than opportunities.  Pray that young boys like this will be reached with the Gospel of Christ!!!

Pool Side with the PK’s

How do you pick out 2 Pastor’s kids among a throng of children?

A.J. & Jon Jon the Baptist

They will be the ones baptizing their dad. 

Saturday I was pool side again with James and Jon.  While washing the car, I had to laugh out loud as the two boys`pretended to walk on the water.  A.J. took his role playing a little two far when I attempted to correct him.  A.J. responded, “Dad, I am Jesus, the Son of God, and I can do what I want!”  I think tonight’s Bible story will be based on Mark 10:45“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,..”
