EVERY TUESDAY Continued in next column Continued from page 1 "God...sat down for a moment when the dog was finished in order to watch it... and to know that it was good, that nothing was lacking, that it could not have been made better"—Rainer Maria Rilke. This week, PAWS is featuring an adorably, sweet pup named Echo, who is an all-American black Lab and is quite vo- cal when she wants to be noticed. Labs are noted for their reliability, obedience, easy trainability, friendli- ness and excellence with children. They crave hu- man attention and need to feel a part of the family. Echo has one brother and one sister, and all are available for adoption at PAWS. They are approx- imately three months old and can be adopted by calling 812-354-9894.

He built the oyster a house, his shell, to shel- ter and protect him from his enemies. When hungry, the oyster simply opens his shell and food rushes in for him. He has freedom from want." "When God made the ea- gle he declared: 'The blue sky is the limit—build your own house.' So the eagle built on the highest moun- tain. Storms threaten him every day. For food he flies through miles of rain and snow and wind." "The eagle, not the oyster, is the emblem of America." Because He lives.

Seek God "Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face al- ways." (1 Chronicles 16:11, NIV ). This verse is one of those that as Christians we need to remember and keep in our hearts and minds. Seeking God and his will for our lives is one of those things that we should do on more than a dai- ly basis, whether we have a need or not. We should seek him not only for our lives but also for the lives of our fam- ily members and the lives of those around us. We should seek him and his guidance on how to reach them, and how to show them that God is re- al and in our lives. We are all living examples of God's love and mercy. Seek him and help others to do the same. God bless you and keep you. See our Facebook page Glezen Revival Center. Web- site: grcenter.net – E-mail ad- dress: glezenrevivalcenter@ yahoo.com.

"He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might, He increases power. Though youths grow wea- ry and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary" (Isaiah 40 :29 -31). This is what the Lord can do for His people. Mo- ses sends 12 spies to spy out the land, only two come back with a good report. On- ly because they were look- ing at the Lord's ability, not the ability of people.
