Sunday Sanity 8/31/25

 Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday. Thank you for stopping by for a moment of your day! We are still in Prattville, Alabama, for the meeting at Summit Holiness Church. 

Today’s sanity comes from Pastor Philip Deane’s message on Wednesday night. He was preaching on having faith for right now.  

It is easy to rejoice in things God has done in the past. We can believe He will move in the future.  Amid the battle, I can struggle to believe for right now. 

Bro. Philip made this statement that jumped out at me! His whole message really encouraged me that night, and the current need I am facing.

“Don't let the devil cause you to procrastinate on what God wants to do for you now!”

Pastor Philip Deane-

Beams of Light Cantonment, Florida 

Keep believing for NOW!

Summit Holiness Church Friday Pics

 Hey Friends,

Last night was the start of this year's fellowship meeting at Summit Holiness Church in Prattville, Alabama.

It was great to see so many friends! We even had family there, too. Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen came from Thomasville, Alabama.

Pastor Philip Deane preached so good. The service was a great way to start fellowship meeting. 

I will close with some pics from night 1.

Word For The Weary 8/28/25

 Hey Friends, 

Thank you for joining me today. Yesterday I was having a rough day. I have been dealing with an ongoing health issue.

We have been working with my doctor to get it resolved. We have changed medications multiple times. Every time I feel hopeful and seem to be making progress. Then the same issue comes back! I have been dealing with it again lately. 

Yesterday, I had a pre-scheduled check-in phone call with the doctor. She wanted me to change up the way I take the medicine, but keep trying the current medication for a couple more months. Hopefully, that will resolve my issue.

Please pray with me! This is a small thing compared to so many other pressing needs of our family and friends. This is my need, and nothing is to hard for God!

I want to avoid another surgery, but that may be our next step if this current plan does not work. I am exhausted! This week, I have been physically and emotionally drained! My close circle of family and friends has been helping me shoulder this load. I am so thankful for them!

When I opened my Bible app yesterday, the verse of the day was just for me! Often, the verse of the day is right on target for my current life. 

I thought this verse might be a Word For The Weary today. I found comfort in the reminder of this message. 

Yes, I know this truth, and believe it with all my heart! But I needed to read it again! I am glad God’s word is still alive and real for today. 

Thank you for reading. See you tomorrow!

DRPC Indoor 2025 Preaching Notes

 Hey Friends,

Last week was our annual Indoor Campmeeting at DRPC. The entire meeting was incredible. Check last week’s posts, Wednesday-Saturday, for pictures from each day. 

God was there to save, set free, encourage, heal and bless people with the Holy Ghost! I can not describe the awesome power of God with my words!

Here are my notes from the preaching we heard during the meeting. Pastor Michael Switzer from Bristol, Virginia preached the 7PM service nightly. Pastor Dwain Galiher from West Plains, Missouri was the 10AM speaker, along with visiting ministers. The 6PM vesper service was also visiting ministers.
