11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body [h]of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the [i]handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a [j]festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the [k]substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has [l]not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
20 [m]Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and [n]neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.
Good morning and welcome
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

Good morning everyone. Please say a prayer today for the people in Kentucky. We will be getting unprecedented amounts of rain over the course of five days. Up to a foot of rain which is really bad for this area with flash flooding. I expect there will be loss of life. Tonight into tomorrow once again hail, possible tornados with heavy rain and then it just continues on.
Keeping ya'll in my prayers.
Around here, we've had rain & a little hail & they're calling for snow this weekend.
Thank you honey. So many people here live on the flatlands under mountains which is the worst place to be in flooding situations and then there are homes all along the Kentucky river. We had a friend who had to keep a boat by her home in case of flooding so she could make it to her car to go to work.
I had lab work done in a Louisville VA Clinic. I was going to stay up there for the Dr.'s appointment on the 4th, but everyone warned me to leave.
I may get tornados in South Central, KY. Definitely severe thunder storms. In Southern Indiania, my daughter and her mother are in the path of one of those rare "Super Cell Storms". They are prepared for it.
Please remember them in your prayers,
Please pray for my former pastor, Pastor B., who is fighting cancer & will be going through some intense radiation treatments.
Prayed for him Annie.
In Him you have been circumcised, not by cutting the flesh, but by the circumcision of Christ in putting off the body of sins of the flesh. Christ became circumcised and fulfilled all the law to become a true mediator between God and man. Now through Him we are freed from all Mosaic law observance and have been redeemed through the work of Christ on the cross.
Colossians 2:9-10
"For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power."
Ephesians 3:19
"To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."
