"Border Declaration"

Finishing up our work at a trade show in San Diego, my co-worker Maureen and I decided to go sightseeing across the border in Tijuana, Mexico. While there, we went shopping and bought a few pieces of clay kitchenware.

As we crossed back into the United States, a customs official asked if we had anything of value to report.

"Not really," Maureen replied, digging in her bag for the bean crock she had purchased.

Everyone around us froze as she continued, "I only bought a little pot."

RECIPES NEEDED!
We are putting together a new church cookbook at Gilliam UMC and your recipes are needed! Please email them to
lindamarino@centurytel.net or Rhonda_Lafitte@txed.uscourts.gov, or bring them to

CONCLUSION OF SUNDAY’S SERMON:

WE ARE SET FREE BY THE POWER OF GOD’S GRACE AND WE CAN LIVE FREE BY THAT SAME POWER…IT IS HIS WILL THAT WE LIVE FREELY AND BIND OURSELVES WITH ONE ANOTHER IN LOVE….ALLOWING ONE ANOTHER THE SAME FREEDOM WE DESIRE FOR OURSELVES…

WE MUST BE THANKFUL FOR THE FREEDOM CHRIST GIVES AND BE WILLING ….TO SHARE WITH OTHERS HOW THEY TOO CAN LIVE FREELY AND NOT BE BOUND BY THE LAW THAT LEADS TO A SPIRIT OF OPPRESSION…REMEMBER CHRIST HAS SET YOU AND ME FREE…WE ARE FREE INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!

I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
