Taking the cover off of the pool reveals murky water, algae and debris that has collected. When we relate this to our spiritual life, we realize that sometimes our water becomes polluted. Satan has many tricks up his sleeve to pollute our water! But in Jesus, all things become new and old things pass away. Just like a pool needs maintenance to keep the water clear and sparkling, so does our spiritual water! Let's take the time to maintain our walk with the Lord so we do not become stagnant, stale and polluted. Jesus will make us fresh, beautiful and sparkling in our spirit so we can be more like Him.

"Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God" (Romans 8:17). Do not picture God sitting in the audience with a judge's tablet watching you on stage, ready to mark you down at your slightest mistake in falling short of the command. Rather, picture yourself as a hand puppet with God's hand inside you, helping you live his command. God sets the standard, then helps you reach it. Free Community dinner from 5:30-7:30 p.m., Thursday, May 23, in the fellowship hall. Tacos will be served. On May 26, Lay participation service. Claude Williams will share a devotional about prayer.

Young, Reporter This week PAWS is featuring a little guy named Sneakers, who will steal your heart with his courage and fun-loving ways. To adopt Sneakers, call PAWS at 354-9894. PAWS pet of the week "Right now I'm doing your typical puppy jobs, but what I really want is to direct." This week PAWS is featuring a vivacious little dog named Sneakers. Sneakers is a compact little guy that will steal your heart with his courage and fun-loving ways. He is the most unusual looking little fellow and it appears he has traits of a Cairn Terrier. He has a natural shaggy look and is attractively marked with shades of black and tan. He has a distinct black nose. This little dog appears to want to please and tilts his head and lifts his ears as if he doesn't want to miss a word that is spoken to him. Cairn Terriers are known for their lively and friendly temperaments and are generally considered to be mellower than most Terriers and some describe it as catlike. You must meet this precious little canine to understand his daunting character. To adopt Sneakers, call 354-9894. The Shelter is full to the brim with great dogs, cats puppies and kittens. If you could give an animal a great home, consider adopting one of our terrific pets.
