Dogs find a direct path to your heart without saying a word"— Steve Rider. This week PAWS is fea- turing a playful young fellow named Frisbee. It doesn't matter what kind of toy one presents to this awesome boy; he is all about play. Frisbee loves other dogs and cats and would fit in just about anywhere. He is house- broken, walks well on a leash, has some Span- iel/Setter heritage and a white base with beau- tiful red patches of soft, short fur. Frisbee is approxi- mately one-year-old, neu- tered and has his shots. He would be especial- ly thankful to find a lov- ing home for Thanksgiv- ing. To adopt Frisbee, call 812-354-9894.

"Thanks to God for my Redeemer. Thanks for all Thou dost provide. Thanks for times now but a memo- ry. Thanks for Jesus by my side. Thanks for prayers that Thou hast answered. Thanks for what Thou dost deny. Thanks for storms that I have weathered. Thanks for all Thou dost supply. Thanks for joy and thanks for sorrow. Thanks for heavenly peace with Thee. Thanks for hope in the tomorrow. Thanks through all eternity" ( J. A. Hultman). Chad Searls, Pastor Him and hearing His word preached. The address is 1415 N. Vincennes Ave., Pe- tersburg." "So be subject to God. Re- sist the devil, and he will flee from you" ( James 4:7). Starting at verse one, we see that conflicts ( jealou- sy, coveting, envy, anger, etc.) arise from our sensu- al desires. We ask God with wrong motives, therefore, we don't receive. "Be subject to" or "submit to" is surrender, yield, give in, obey. So obey God, sur- render to God and then we can resist the devil and he will flee from us. Denny Wiscaver, Pastor Pam Nutter, Reporter are given by Jesus doing so. No matter what problems we have or what trials may come our way, these are things that we need to thank God for in everything we see and do. Happy Thanksgiving. God bless you and keep you.
