Hi, My name is Jeff Baxter. In 2008 , my wife Michell and I stared a small business call Peone Soap Barn. We are located in Mead Washington. and currently make goat's milk soap, lotions, paraffin wax candles and lip balm. Our desire is to dontate a portion of our proceeds to Water for Life. Water for Life International is a charitable organization dedicated to providing clean water to those in need. Their organization started in 2005 when they drilled 4 wells on the International Children's Care (ICC) campus which serves approximately 700 students and staff. This work was accomplished using a donated cable tool drill rip and volunteers. Water for Life exists because of donations and volunteers. Peone Soap Barn is dedicated to see that children around the world will receive fresh water from these wells. Help us support Water for Life. Every time you purchase something, your proceeds are donated to the drilling in Guatemala. Children will benefit from the clean water, decreasing the death rate, and increasing the number of happy, healthy children. Help us help them. Thank you.

Praying for Aunt Muriel - Car Accident

Rescue personnel tend to the driver of a Mini Cooper that crashed head-on into a cement truck on Deschutes Road in the Bella Vista area Wednesday morning. The driver, Muriel Elliott, 63, of Redding, suffered major injuries and was in critical condition Wednesday night at Mercy Medical Center in Redding. Cement truck driver William Hiller, 48, of Redding suffered minor injuries in the 9:15 a.m. collision, California Highway Patrol officer Kurt Heuer said. Elliott reportedly crossed the double line and hit the cement truck about a half-mile south of Highway 299, Heuer said. The force of the collision ripped off the front axle of the cement truck and threw the Mini Cooper down a ditch. The truck was one of two traveling to the wind-farm project in Burney to deliver cement, said John Ledford, who was driving another cement truck and was two vehicles behind Hiller. “We were coming down this stretch, and she pulled dead in front of him,” Ledford said. “She tried to pull out of the way, but there was nowhere to go.” The wreck remains under investigation.

Is it Well With Your Soul?

One of my favorite Hymn..... playing it again!

What is Heaven like?

Heaven is a real place described in the Bible. The word “heaven” is found 276 times in the New Testament alone. Scripture refers to three heavens. The apostle Paul was “caught up to the third heaven,” but he was prohibited from revealing what he experienced there (2 Corinthians 12:1-9).
-
If a third heaven exists, there must also be two other heavens. The first is most frequently referred to in the Old Testament as the “sky” or the “firmament.” This is the heaven that contains clouds, the area that birds fly through. The second heaven is interstellar/outer space, which is the abode of the stars, planets, and other celestial objects (Genesis 1:14-18).
-
The third heaven, the location of which is not revealed, is the dwelling place of God. Jesus promised to prepare a place for true Christians in heaven (John 14:2). Heaven is also the destination of Old Testament saints who died trusting God's promise of the Redeemer (Ephesians 4:8). Whoever believes in Christ shall never perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).
-
The apostle John was privileged to see and report on the heavenly city (Revelation 21:10-27). John witnessed that heaven (the new earth) possesses the “glory of God” (Revelation 21:11), the very presence of God. Because heaven has no night and the Lord Himself is the light, the sun and moon are no longer needed (Revelation 22:5).
-
The city is filled with the brilliance of costly stones and crystal clear jasper. Heaven has twelve gates (Revelation 21:12) and twelve foundations (Revelation 21:14). The paradise of the Garden of Eden is restored: the river of the water of life flows freely and the tree of life is available once again, yielding fruit monthly with leaves that “heal the nations” (Revelation 22:1-2). However eloquent John was in his description of heaven, the reality of heaven is beyond the ability of finite man to describe (1 Corinthians 2:9).
-
Heaven is a place of “no mores.” There will be no more tears, no more pain, and no more sorrow (Revelation 21:4). There will be no more separation, because death will be conquered (Revelation 20:6). The best thing about heaven is the presence of our Lord and Savior (1 John 3:2). We will be face to face with the Lamb of God who loved us and sacrificed Himself so that we can enjoy His presence in heaven for eternity.

Happy Birthday Rinny!

Evening Praise
Giver of all, another day is ended and I take my place beneath my great redeemer's cross, where healing streams continually descend, where balm is poured into every wound, where I wash anew in the all-cleansing blood, assured that Thou seest in me no spots of sin. Yet a little while and I shall go to Thy home and be no more seen; help me to gird up the loins of my mind, to quicken my step, to speed as if each moment were my last, that my life be joy, my death glory.
I thank Thee for the temporal blessings of this world—the refreshing air, the light of the sun, the food that renews strength, the raiment that clothes, the dwelling that shelters, the sleep that gives rest, the starry canopy of night, the summer breeze, the flowers' sweetness, the music of flowing streams, the happy endearments of family, kindred, friends. Things animate, things inanimate, minister to my comfort. My cup runs over. Suffer me not to be insensible to these daily mercies. Thy hand bestows blessings: Thy power averts evil. I bring my tribute of thanks for spiritual graces, the full warmth of faith, the cheering presence of Thy Spirit, the strength of Thy restraining will, Thy spiking of hell's artillery. Blessed be my sovereign Lord!
