Dear Friends,
Make every day a treasure hunt! So often we’re unaware of the treasures that are all around us. Treasure each moment, even if it is a treasure disguised as a trial. As I was watching the news this morning, a couple who had lost their 9 year old daughter in the devastation caused by the tornado in Oklahoma, were recalling the last time they saw their little girl. On Monday, they took lunch to their daughter at school. Little did they know that that would be the last time they saw her. Treasure those moments with friends, loved ones and each other. I treasure each and every one of you dear friends. See you Sunday as we celebrate all the many blessings we have and those that sacrificed so much to give us the freedoms we enjoy today. Red, White and Blue are our colors! Peace and Love, Scott

Approach Each New Day with desire to find Me. Before you get out of bed, I have already been working to prepare the path that will get you through this day. There are hidden treasures strategically placed along the way. Some of the treasures are trials, designed to shake you free from earth-shackles. Others are blessings that reveal My Presence: sunshine, flowers, birds, friendships, answered prayers. I have not abandoned this sin-wracked world; I am still richly present in it.
Search for deep treasures as you go through this day. You will find Me all along the way.
Colossians 2:2-3 2My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that theymay have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that theymay know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Isaiah 33:6 6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure.
