Not So, Lord!

RISE AND SHINE FOR JESUS! By Pam Iannello - my late mother A ministry of New Beginnings Baptist Church  Acts 10:9-16 (KJV) On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: [10] And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, [11] And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: [12] Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

As far as meetings in the future, God is picking up steam with scheduling the meetings. In Two days I scheduled 8 meetings and 2 Mission's Conferences....the next week, I scheduled 6 meetings in one day! Before I wrote this prayer letter, another pa
