tion. After the surgery, more meals will be needed so look for the

sign-up sheet in the kitchen for the Meals Ministry supporting The

Hodulik Family. Meals are only needed on MON, WED, & FRI; de-

livered by 5:30pm. Their address is: 48103 Newport Bridge Pl., In-

YOUTH SPOTLIGHT: Cash Gervin loves God, his family, church family, school

and sports. His favorite things about church are learning

about God, singing, and hanging out with his friends.

Cash says church keeps him out of trouble, because it

teaches him to listen, sometimes. He loves his sisters

Chloe and Calista, he is very helpful and protective of

them. Cash’s favorite subject is Math and he just finished

the 1st Grade at The Palm Desert Learning Tree - with

Academic Honors! Cash absolutely loves to compete in

his two favorite sports: basketball (Dad) and baseball

(Poppa); but if asked, he’d tell you his favorite is

basketball. This summer Cash

was selected to play on the

Palm Desert All-Star Traveling Baseball Team for the 8

and under division. Cash just finished the Aztec Basketball

Camp where he helped his team win the championship for

his age bracket. We are very proud of Cash and his

accomplishments, but we are more thrilled to see who he is

becoming as a young man.

CONGRATULATIONS: Diana Garcia would like to announce the birth of Aniyah

Gonzales; born on 6/23/16 at 1:22am (Japan time), 7lbs. &

We are so excited!! The Shubin’s are here from Oklahoma; Andrew, Ra-

chel (our daughter), Nicholas, Caleb and 8 month old Helene. They moved to

Oklahoma about two years ago. Until that time all of our children and grandchil-

dren lived within a mile of our home. They moved to Oklahoma and dared to have

a baby when they live so far away.

I guess it is payback. Debbie’s family is from Arkansas/Oklahoma, my

family is from So Cal, and we had all our children in Oregon. We tried to visit our

parents often, but it isn’t the same as living a few miles away. Then again, Helene

is payback to Rachel. She already shows signs of headstrong stubbornness to

match Rachel’s.

God is good in giving “payback”. There are many instances in the Bible of

God ironically paying back someone for the evil they have done. But God is also

very good at giving “payback” to those who do well. Jesus said in Matthew 10: 38Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of

me. 39Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake

will find it.

Give life – payback: get life. Keep life – payback: lose life.

So… 7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he

sows. 8Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction;

whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9Let us not

become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do

not give up. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, es-

pecially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6

Just Pondering

Paul’s Ponders

Vivimos en un tiempo donde tal párese ser que ya no importan los demás. Vivimos

en un mundo donde el aprecio excesivo por uno mismo crece cada día más,

orgullo y vanidad desmedida que poquito a poco va terminando con nuestra exis-

tencia, envanecimiento tonto de desear ser admirado por todos sin importar

nuestros méritos, siempre pensando en cómo te miras y como te admiran las

demás personas, aunque al final del día en la triste soledad de tu silencio resuena

en eco resonante tu sonrisa fingida sabes que necesitas de una palabra pero te das

valor creyendo que un día más en tu arrogancia va a solucionar el problema. Si

Cristo les ha dado a ustedes poder para animar a los demás, y si el amor que ust-

edes tienen los lleva a consolar a otros, y si todos ustedes tienen el mismo Espíritu

y son compasivos, les pido que vivan en armonía y que se amen unos a otros.

3No sean egoístas; no traten de impresionar a nadie. Sean humildes, es decir, con-

siderando a los demás como mejores que ustedes. 4No se ocupen solo de sus

propios intereses, sino también procuren interesarse en los demás. 5Tengan la

misma actitud que tuvo Cristo Jesús. Filipenses 2:3-5

Primero tu, y después yo que mi deseo fue, es y será que seas verdaderamente

feliz. Yo soy tu hermano Gilberto.........
