An old man lived on a hill that overlooked the ocean. At the bottom of the hill was a public campground where people come to pitch their tents, hike along the beach, and play in the surf. One day the old man was looking out at the ocean from his window when he noticed a huge tidal wave bearing down on the campground. He knew that the people who occupied the campground below were doomed. He had no phone or any other way to warn them from his hillside perch. And he knew that if he attempted to run down to the campground, by the time he got there, he would be wiped out, too.
The summer is winding down and school is starting a few weeks. All of our students will begin school back in August and we have several students in college as well. I would like to challenge you during the month of August to pray for our students, teachers, and administrations of our area schools and colleges. On August 7th we will have a special time in our AM worship to pray for our students, administrators, teachers, etc. Come out and take part in that service.
