This week, PAWS is fea- turing a lively young Bea- gle named EJ, who was ex- cited to have the attention of shelter volunteer Chloe Williams, who came in to walk dogs this past Sun- day. EJ is very people-ori- ented, but does have some difficulty getting along with certain other dogs. He seems to do well with cats. Beagles are natu- ral investigators and EJ is no exception to this. He is tri-colored black, brown and white, and is approx- imately one year old, has all his shots, is neutered and heartworm negative. To adopt this dog of great dash, call 812-354-9894.

Sometimes when I sit down to write these, I have no idea what I am going to write. These aren't pro- found and planned, they are a weekly prayer, Lord, give me the words to write. It so happens this morning, as I'm drinking coffee, prepar- ing for the day, I read these words; "God is already at work ahead of where He has called you." How many of you needed to read that as well as I did? Some of you might be like me, hesitant to strike conversation, offer to lend a hand, or would simply rather wait for the big sign. I believe often times, before we have a chance to expe- rience that sure sign, God has already been at work in those people. God calls us VINCENT CHRISTIAN CHURCH 8264 E.

Dr. Robert Asa, Minister to people before he calls us to things. Who is God call- ing you to reach out to? Is it the far off or a wandered off prodigal? Is it just some- one in need on hard times? Chances are, God has al- ready began a work in their lives and hearts. Reflect on this story in Acts 16:6 -10 : God was already working in Macedonia, it was on Paul to answer. Go in grace and peace this week friends.

But what wonder- ful spiritual cures it brings. Because He lives. John Manges, Minister Church of Christ BRENTON CHAPEL CHURCH OF CHRIST 1194 E. CR 400 N.

Psalm 27:13 says, "I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." People are prone to giv- ing up when things seem difficult. Some don't even try looking for the Lord or His goodness. We are here to represent the goodness of Jesus in this time so others can see hope and want it for themselves. Be on the look- out for those who need your help. And thank the Lord for keeping you from despair.

"Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (II Corinthi- ans 7:1). "Holiness in the Bible breathes in the prophecy, thunders in the law, mur- murs in the narrative, whis- pers in the promises, suppli- cates in the prayers, spar- kles in the poetry, resounds in the songs, speaks in the types, glows in the imagery, and burns in the spirit of the whole Bible scheme. Holi- ness needed. Holiness re- quired. Holiness offered. Ho- liness attainable. Holiness is a present duty, a present privilege, a present enjoy- ment. It is the truth glowing all over. The wonder is that all do not see, that any rise up to question a truth so con- spicuous, so glorious, so full of comfort" —Bishop Foster.
