Happy Valentine's Day!

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.



I Corinthians 13: 4-8 & 13

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command


John 15:12-14

Those are such beautiful scriptures. Paul tells us what love is by the Holy Ghost and Jesus tells us this is what we should do for each other because he has done it for us. The bible tells us that God showed his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Love is a choice, but we are commanded to do it.


There hasn't really been a lot going on in the last few days. We did go over to the Hood River news and talked with them about some ads and they are going to take our photo on Wed for an article they are going to do in the paper. We will bring a couple with us when we come. Has anyone remembered to pray about the billboards? We are still in prayer about it, but I feel like it would be beneficial to the church, so unless we get a "NO" from the Lord we will probably do it.

This is funny, we went to lunch today at the China Gorge Restaurant with pastor's sister and her husband and at the end of the meal they brought the fortune cookies out. Pastor's brother in law, Shane, doesn't really think he needs church but his fortune cookie said, "A long lost relative will soon be beneficial in your life." So he looks at pastor and says, "hey gimme 5 bucks" and pastor goes "Yeah, I don't think that's what it means" then Shane kinda got this weird, scared smile. It was sooooooo funny. Guess you had to be there. I told pastor he should have kept the fortune and gave it to Shane after we baptize him in Jesus name!

Well, we will be watching in the morning and praying for the church. We love and appreciate all of you.
