Dear %PERS_NAME%,

Many years ago the RSPCA visited a friend of ours who was not yet a believer and took his horse and put it down because they had health concerns.  My friend was very dissapointed and saw the situation differently.  That horse was called Blaze.

This last few weeks however that same man had an opporunity to pray for another friends horse - a horse called Spike.  In that man's opinion, Spike was in worse condition than Blaze was all those years earlier.  So that man prayed for Spike. 

And as he prayed he heard a large "clunk" come from the knee.  And amazingly the horse has started walking properly again. 

Yesterday the RSPCA came for their visit, and instead of taking the horse away and putting it down, the horse got their tick of approval. 

The point of this short true story is that if God cares about prayers for animals which don't matter that much, how much more does he care for things which do matter.  If God answers prayers and gives miracles for horses - what about you. 

What is your need today?  Stop and tell God all about it. 

Hope You Are Having Fun

Do you have friends who would be interested in this newsletter.  Please forward it onto your address book.

Dear %PERS_NAME%,

In the last 20 years the world has changed a lot... A LOT.  I remember doing school projects where I would go to the library and research on Egypt or whatever the topic was.  It was an expedition and required planning.  Now Google gives me what I want in just 20 seconds.

Newsletter - Mar 18th 2010 - Peacemakers

Dear Friends

In the book of Matthew – chapter 5 – there is a whole discussion about things that will make a person happy (blessed), and these are called the beattitudes. This is because these are the “attitudes we should be like.”

One of them says “Blessed are the peacemakers because they shall be called Sons of God.”

Newsletter - Feb 18 2010 - Hitch Hiking to God

Dear Friends,

Last Wednesday I picked up a hitch-hiker. He was an elderly man who needed to go from Rockhampton to Mt Morgan and his car wasn’t working. Usually I don’t offer lifts to strangers because of the dangerous nature of that kind of thing – but I felt on this occasion that I should. Also, he was elderly and looked in terrible need of help.

Newsletter - Feb 4th 2010 - God Needs Permission

Dear Friend. I read a book a number of years back called "Where Was God on September 11?" It's a good question because God seems to be "absent" from humanity at times and it raises doubt in the minds of many people.

Newsletter - Jan 22nd 2010 - Lies

Dear Friends,

A few years ago I took up scuba diving and became certified - and since then I've been trying to get my friends underwater too.  I hear many "reasons" why they don't want to go diving.  One friends is convinced that there are numerous large creatures waiting to eat him down there.  Another friend believes he will drown. 

Newsletter - Jan 14th 2010 - Step One

Dear Friends,

It's been many years since this newsletter has gone out - so it's a delight to write again. I plan to use this newsletter to encourage readers to be drawn closer to Christ.

On my shelf at home I have a book called "12 Steps for Christians" which is based upon the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Most people despise these groups because they know so little about them. If the truth was known, most people would admire these people and could learn a lot from them. There is sometimes more spirituality and genuine faith in these groups than in some chuches.
