Father in Heaven please have mercy and allow the bone marrow to attach and take effect immediately and please take away the pain. In Jesus name we pray Amen -- I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is IN GOD WE TRUST Karen Carter '74 -KC- Ministries -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Rhonda Partain <[log in to unmask]> > Here is a message I got about Christian today!

But the way the book design looks is ironic. When we > as christians face trials and tribulations or in my words are having a day, > doesn't our life sometimes look that way? Our "issue" way big and the great > "I AM" fades to small gray. > > So today/tonight I sit and pray.... > > "Not some of Thee, and some of me; > > But all of Thee, and none of me!" > > Arise great I AM.
