Letters to the Editor
THANK YOU FOR THE HEARTBEAT MAGAZINE
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me this
morning. I am excited about what the Lord has placed
before me and have enjoyed connecting with folks
such as you. I’m asking if you could assist by increasing
the number of magazines our facility receives - we
handle them with care. Thanks for your faithful service! Sunday morning, toured headquarters, Talihina ice
cream/sofa fountain, buffet at the lodge on the moun-
tain, Heavener Runestone State Park, Lake Wister and
ate at the Southern Belle! My wife even had Mountain
Man pinstripe her beautiful Harley, which he did beau-
tifully. God is so good! It was an awesome vacation
which ended much too soon!

man group waving goodbye to us each evening after
the services!!
can't tell me God doesn't know and care
about our needs...no matter how big or
small. (Or how insignificant or unimportant we may
think they are to God because they seem so small
and silly to pray about.) God even hears and cares
about our prayers that are UNSPOKEN.
Recently, our daughter, Lexi, had a growth spurt.
She outgrew everything, but especially needed win-
ter items. Some unexpected expenses had also
come up so we couldn’t just go spend a bunch of
money on items for her. Even when we have a little
extra for things we need, I like to find bargains, so I
was shopping resale shops, clearance aisles and
eBay to refill her closet. One morning, my mom
called and said she had found a couple of coats for
Lexi at a resale shop. Both coats were down filled
and one of them was a name brand. I’m sure my
mouth fell open because she had NO clue we had
just been pricing those exact coats on eBay the
night before. God blessed us with two great coats at
an amazingly cheap price!
I called my husband and told him all of this and
how crazy it was being my mom had no idea what

we'd been looking for. His response was, "yeah, but
God knows." That's so true. God knew our needs and
the desires of our hearts BEFORE we even spoke
them. My Pops had a saying about God moments
like this.
“That’s not like God, that IS God!”
As we enter into this New Year, remember God
knows AND cares about the important and the mun-
dane things in our lives. He wants us to talk to Him
just like we talk to our best friend. We can tell him
our concerns, needs, fears, everything. I’m so
thankful He knows and He cares!
“Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares
about you” (1 Peter 5:7, KJV).
"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about
everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him
for all he has done” (Philippians 4:6, NLT).
GREAT VACATION
Please tell Tim Weddle we really enjoyed his
Recommended Ride from Mena to Branson. We spent
a couple days at Branson on our way to the Colors
Rally and we reversed his ride, Peel Ferry, Feltner's
What-A-Burger and all and we loved it. The Colors
Rally was awesome! We made every meeting but
