Good Morning, Mt. Zion,

I normally open my Pastor's Pen by saying how good it is to see all of you.  But this morning, I'm not there.  Please keep me in your prayers as we minister the Word of God to the members of the New Vine Baptist Church, Lexington, KY.

I hope and pray that your week was blessed and regardless of whatever type week you had, it was a blessed one because God, once again, has brought you through.  Remember, sometimes God intends for your trials and troubles to linger around for a little while.

As much as this may get on our last nerve, hang in there because He's going to work all this out for your good.  That's what's so amazing about God.  He takes the crooked and makes it straight.

Again, Mt. Zion, the Lord is constantly working on your behalf.  He has your best interest in His Divine Plan.

May God bless your real good this week and continue to trust God in your matters.

See you in Bible Class!

Love you much,

Pastor
