At the top of the hill, turn left at the T (Old Mnt Road). Take your first left on Everett St. Take your next left on Fair Oak Pl. First house on the right at 1 Fair Oak. Park on the left hand side of the street wherever you can as close to the wall as possible.

Do we all still love each other?
Just asking because going without food makes me cranky. I saw my M.D. on Monday and he said I may or may not have diabetes - I need to have some bloodwork done. It was hard to know what to do for this fast day. I ended up fasting for a meal. My schedule and work responsibilities made it hard for me to spend much of that time in prayer. (Wednesday is my day to monitor a hallway during lunch.) Interested to know how everybody is doing. How cool would it be if some of us could get together and pray for part of the day when we do this again?

Small Group Questions
Acts 13:1-3 "God Still Calling..."
Pastor Travis
1. In what ways do you think that God still speaks to his people? Why do you think so?
2. What does it mean to be led by "live quivers"? Why is this a dangerous thing? Have you ever tried to do this?
3. Do you agree with Pastor Travis's assertion that fasting should still be a part of the Christian life? Why or why not. See Matthew 6:16-18.
4. What are some benefits of fasting?
5. What are the right and wrong ways to fast?
6. As a small group, try to agree on a short period of fasting and prayer some time in the next two weeks. Talk about your fast at your next small group meeting.
Ok, these are the questions to ponder. Number 6 was discussed and agreed that Wednesday will be the day of fasting for the group. The guidelines are:
A. Fasting starts at sundown on Tuesday evening and concludes at sundown on Wednesday.
B. A liquid fast is preferred consisting of water, tea or coffee. Sugars and creamers or milk is discouraged.
C. Some form of focusing on the Lord with Bible reading, scripture memorization, prayer or a combination of all 3 is the goal.
Prayer Requests:
Guy and Amy - Amy, for God to give her strength and peace and understanding. Guy, for God to remove all obstacles for Guy's job and to give Guy peace. Also, pray that Guy and Amy will turn all of their anxieties, hurts, worries, disagreements over to the Lord and that they both allow the Lord to work in their lives to bring about a closeness and love that is stronger than they have ever experienced. Then let them focus also on raising up a godly young man.
Micki - pray that the Lord will continue to work to eradicate the source of pain in Micki's back. The praise is that He has relieved her of a large part of the pain so that she is pain free for a majority of the time. Praise the Lord!
Barbara and Dennis - Please continue to pray for the Lord's blessings with the insurance on Rae's new chair. That He will touch those that have to make the decision's on what and how much is covered. That the insurance would cover 100%.
Billy - Thanks for prayers for Billy and Gabby in strengthening their marriage. Prayer for Billy with continuing growth as husband and father.
Bekah - please pray for Hanna, her job and for her freedom from the things in the past that still trouble her.
Noah - please pray that he will get the jailor position at the Walker County police department.
Mary - please pray for Sadie as she has been faithful in seeking good counsel and taken the difficult path of following that counsel.
Pray that the Lord will reward her faithfulness.
Daniel - please pray for his classmate who is a diabetic.
Laurie - pray for her son Christopher to gain weight and for all his problems to have been cured from his heart surgery.

Directions to Small Group Sunday 8/10
Small Group is at my new house tomorrow!
Heading north into Chattanooga through St. Elmo (on St. Elmo Avenue), turn R on 49th Street. Turn L on Florida Avenue, and I'm in the second house on the left - yellow on the bottom story, green on the upper story, kind of a barn roof outline. Park on the right facing north, or you might get your car ticketed. I'm looking forward to having you all here! We're still in the middle of moving various roommates in, so there will be boxes around, but there's definitely room for everyone.
