Geek Assignment

Here's what I'd like: whenever we have an NWS warning for our county, the animated .GIF from Weather Underground for the radar covering our county is sent to my mobile phone (I'm cheap - I have unlimited text and MMS, but no mobile web). It would be nice if the image would be updated/resent every 15 minutes or so until the warning expires. I've diddled some with Yahoo Pipes, but my haxxor skillz are minimal.

After a while, even a dry heat makes one miserable

Let us ever walk with Jesus

Let us ever walk with Jesus,
Follow His example pure,
Flee the world, which would deceive us
And to sin our souls allure.
Ever in His footsteps treading,
Body here, yet soul above,
Full of faith and hope and love,
Let us do the Father’s bidding,
Faithful, Lord, abide with me;
Savior, lead, I follow Thee.

Let us suffer here with Jesus,
To His image e’er conform;
Heaven’s glory soon will please us,
Sunshine follow on the storm.
Tho’ we sow in tears of sorrow,
We shall reap in heav’nly joy;
And the fears that now annoy
Shall be laughter on the morrow.
Christ, I suffer here with Thee;
There, oh, share Thy joy with me!

Let us also die with Jesus.
His death from the second death,
From our soul’s destruction, frees us,
Quickens us with life’s glad breath.
Let us mortify, while living,
Flesh and blood and die to sin;
And the grave that shuts us in
Shall but prove the gate to Heaven.
Jesus, here I die to Thee
There to live eternally.

Let us gladly live with Jesus;
Since He’s risen from the dead;
Death and grave must soon release us.
Jesus, Thou art now our Head,
We are truly Thine own members;
Where Thou livest, there live we.
Take and own us constantly,
Faithful Friend, as Thy dear brethren.
Jesus, here I live to Thee,
Also there eternally.

Missions Support Letter from My Daughter and Son-in-Law

Dear Family and Friends,

We are writing you all because we have an opportunity this summer, August 8-15th to go on a construction/medical/ dental missions trip with our church Village Presbyterian Church to Guadalajara Mexico, to work with the people of the Eirene Mission/Church. On our trip we will be working in a medical clinic triaging, and performing anything from general Dr.’s visits to small out patient surgeries. Two other teams will be working in a dental clinic or will help in the different construction needs of the Eirene mission. What a chance to minister to others!

We are excited about what God is going to do in our lives and in other people's lives through this ministry. We do, however, need your help. We need to raise $1,500 for each of us. We are asking that you donate as soon as possible. Anything you can do to help will be greatly appreciated. We ask that if you are not able to donate to please pray for us and our mission team, as we minister to others.

Here is the website to the mission that we will be serving at www.eirenemexico.org. Please make out checks to Beal Heights Presbyterian Church and mark them for "Mexico," and send them to Beal Heights Presbyterian Church, 614 SW Park Ave, Lawton, OK 73501-5239.

In Christ,

Jacob and Beth Donaldson
