A Slice of Infinity snippets:
... There is something about suffering and despair that brings us to strain our ears for the voice of God. Where we have written God off as silent, where we have lived with the suspicion of a distant or demanding ruler, there is a compulsion within our pain that forces us to listen. There is an image of Christ who carried the same burden. And it is met with the promise of one who speaks: This sickness will not end in death.
Chad's Comments:
I sometimes wonder about praying that a loved one would suffer - so that they might turn to God.
After I wrote the above sentence, I checked my email and received the following video from Shannon (my sister-in-law and a COUGAR). I think it embodies what COUGARS is all about!

COUGARS' NeighborDAy weekend: We are able to love and minister to our hurting neighbors simply because we invite them over for dinner. Pick a weekend in June or July and share your story on the blog.
Prayer requests: (Please email us and share yours)
Please continue to lift up Elaine's family, My neighbor Gerry and his wife Terri and my aunt Barbara who struggles with depression and alcoholism.
* The Street Church still needs volunteers and donations. (there are very few washers and dryers available for the homeless. So, even though they may not need coats, they will wear a shirt until it is really ragged and smelly, then simply throw it away. Clothing donations in the summer are strongly encouraged.
