YOU:
Hey Sis. I was glad to see someone from Rusk. Just this last year
friends
that I met thrue my husbands moved there and we haven't had much
contact
with them since. Do you know a Brother Lewis that is an officer?
Only been
married about four years.Has a very sweet wife and teenage daughter?
both
blonde? and all three are fairly short? He is quite a character. For
the
life of me I can't think of their last names. How many UPCS does
Rusk have?
Because the last we knew they were still going.

First of all...it is BROTHER Josh Allen of Rusk UPC! :-> AND YES! I
know Brother Lewis! (Lewis Garrat, I think?) When you said officer I
thought, sunday school officer? what? :-) Then I thought about our
correction officers! Then I thought of his daughter...I think it is
kathy sweet? He is VERY funny. He likes to make fun of me dancin--I
go around in circles and fling my arms like a ballerina in fast
forward! (I think this is a thread in itself...hint, hint...Brother T,
How do you dance in the spirit? :->). Right now, he is housing a
german foreign exchange student. She has received the Holy Ghost
with the evidence of speaking in tounges...It took us a while to
figure out it wasn't German :) They are still goin, but it's been a
while since they've been. I think they work and may be sick. We
only have ONE UPC in rusk. We just built a new sanctuary (it was
prophecied about--15 years ago! We are VERY excited) and our crowd
went up from 130 to 300 after our 5th sunday singin...our choir is
awesome! I should send a tape! => We WERE 1st UPC but since almost
the whole town of Rusk is coming, we changed it to 1st Church on the
Hill UPC. BTW:Speaking of the whole town, I have to prayer requests--
1) Rusk schools are overcrowded with Apostolics, but I live in
Jacksonville (Side by side with rusk, almost) and I am the ONLY
Apostolic there. Pray for me...and that brings up the next issue:
2) My mom; laura allen, is baptist. I told her a couple years
ago that I was UPC and she didn't let me go till this year. (I'm
only 15) Now, she doesn't know I'm still Apostolic and I'm having a
hard time insinuating (without lying) that I'm just a VISITOR.
Please pray, and send advice if possible! She still hasn't let me be
baptized in Jesus' name. :-( And my pastor won't baptize me until
she says OK. Should I ask another church to baptize me? Well...n-e-
way...PRAY!
And Sister Kathy: You can go ahead and email me at my personal
address (don't want to rile up the Head Huffapaloozas! =>) Love
always in Christ!

I affirm the biblical foundation for a relationship with God: We are
to turn away from doing wrong, be baptized in the name of Jesus in
accordance with scriptural examples, receive the marvelous gift of
the Holy Spirit, and embrace a daily walk with Him. (See Acts 2:38)

God bless you and keep you in His prodigious grace!
