Tuesday, August 6

Well, the Winston Salem Aglow blog has existed for 24 hours now. If you are just answering the invitation to join please feel free to post your thoughts and insight. This coming Thursday nite, August 9, at 7 pm you are invited to come to my house in Winston to pray and seek the Lords face for our lighthouse. Jana Comer and some other Area Team members will be there as well. My address is:
2700 Reynolda Rd
Apt 1415
Winston-Salem 27106
The name of the apartment complex is "The Corners" and is about 1.5 miles north of Wake Forest University. Please do a MapQuest search to get turn by turn directions.
My phone is 336-210-2239 if you get lost.

Today I received a box of emergency preparedness supplies that I ordered online as these items can't be found locally. The water packets are coming in a second box, but today I received 3 different brands of 2400 calorie food bars, Mainstay, Mayday, and Datrex. I also got 3 (they sent an extra) Sierra cups that can serve to heat up small amounts of water or food over candles. And some "hot hands" hand and body warmers (extra large size). I will be including more information in the future on the Aglow emergency response and disaster relief ministry here on this blog. For tonight, suffice it to say that we are called for such a time as this. When we hear of disasters, natural and man-made we are not to be paranoid, but we are to conquer fear through faith and being prepared. This is not to stock our basements full of food and ammunition, but to understand that we live in a fallen world that is rapidly falling apart and if we can help ourselves and others in the midst of the storm by comforting them with some food, water and the Word of the Lord, then we can take heart, knowing that Christ has overcome the world and our redemption is drawing nigh.
I will be sharing more at a later time, may the Lord bless you until then.
