Does it seem like Summer should be over and Fall in the air? It sure doesn’t to me. It seems as of late that the seasons are flying by as quickly as the days. Hopefully your children are all settled in their classes and you have a good routine going. I’m sure it is a busy time for everyone, so let’s take a few minutes, grab our favorite cup of cider, tea, or latte and have a little chat.I want to begin by thanking God our heavenly Father for being so good and all powerful in my life. God has given us the courage,ability and open doors to continue to reach out and bring many lives into His fullness. We have been privileged to start a Bible Study at St John the Apostle Catholic Church in Oregon City. We have a nice but small group that continues to have new people come. It is exciting to see God’s work in action. People are hungry for more of God all over.Ed shared about our trip to California and how the Lord used him to minister to a fairly large group of Catholics in Brentwood.Praise God for pouring out His Spirit and lighting all of our fires, and spreading the Good News everywhere.The hard part was we were not able to see every one of our dear friends there,because of our limited time.We thank God for the many precious saints in Vancouver who shower us with love, prayers and encouragement. We have learned so much and we appreciate you all. God is truly pouring out His Spirit on all flesh (that lets Him).Let’s believe for an all out revival.Next I want to share with you what God is doing everyday in my life. I have had a prayer partner for over ten years and we have prayed almost every day. We even try to when we are traveling. She travels almost as much as we do. Her name is Mary and she is awesome and is passionate about the Lord.She actually came up with  Colleen’s Cozy Corner  very grateful because Iknow who God really is.And change is what He isall about; He is alwaysworking to change us intoHis very own image andlikeness, yes and allbecause of His great lovefor us. How we need totake a hold of that perfectlove that is in us. BecauseHe who is perfect love livesin us and is always workingus to let that love flow outof us, to others back toGod and us. RememberHe loves you always; nevera moment goes by whenthat love which is perfectdoesn’t flow in you.We love you all, may Godbless and enrich you,Ed Klein & Family My Brothers & Sisters continued last night, and I knowthere’s a whole lot more tothat then we understand.What great joy floods myheart every time I hear ofthe great things God isdoing in their lives, as wellas the lives of many othersin the Family there andeverywhere. I don’t knowabout anyone else, but it’sall of you that make merealize how awesome ourGod is. Oh I know thereare things that we all wouldlove to change but I’m so “He is always working tochange us intoHis very own Image and likeness…”  Page 2 EKEA Today  “God is truly  pouring out His Spirit on all flesh (that lets him).Let’s believe for an all out revival.”   on your own insight or  understanding. 6 In all your ways know,recognize, and  acknowledge Him, and Hewill direct and  make straight and  plain your paths.” …Hello, do we get it?In other words, whateveryou need to know, He willshow you or tell you.Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to Meand I will answer you andshow you great and mightythings, fenced in and  hidden, which you do notknow (do not distinguishand recognize, haveknowledge of andunderstand).” Ephesians2:10 “For we are God’s[own] handiwork (Hisworkmanship), recreated inChrist Jesus, [born anew]that we may do those goodworks which Godpredestined (plannedbeforehand) for us [takingpaths which He preparedahead of time], that weshould walk in them [livingthe good life which Heprearranged and madeready for us to live].”Colossians 3:17 “Andwhatever you do [no matterwhat it is] in word or deed,do everything in the nameof the Lord Jesus and  in[dependence upon] HisPerson, giving praise toGod the Father throughHim.” Yes, and there aremany others. But don’tworry about everything, anddon’t try to figure it out onyour own it’s not up to you.It’s up to your Father, who isnone other than God.Think with me for a moment,you and I are the sons anddaughters of the TriuneGod. Is there anythingoutside of their knowing?And they live in you and I allthe time 24 hours a day. Ifthings aren’t clear for youtell your advocate the Holy Spirit  and He has promisedto teach you.

Www.oneanswer.org And tell a friend to visit us too! Giving to the Lord… This can often seem like a touchy subject for ministries to talk about. But we think you know us well enough to know we’re not trying to lay any guilt trips or ask anyone for something they can’t give. In fact it bothers us to see ministries using statements like, “God’s getting ready to pour out a great blessing on you as you step out in faith and make a sacrificial gift to our ministry.” What?! Listen: GOD’s ready to pour out HIS blessing on you NO MATTER WHAT you give (time, money or whatever) so long as you do it in obedience to Him and the giving is with joy in your heart! Our ministry has needs, we travel all over the country  preaching, teaching, counseling and working with people to  promote the GOOD NEWS, growth in the Holy Spirit and the  fullness of life we have in Christ Jesus! This takes time,technology, help (staff), marketing and all these take fi- nances. So if the Lord has been telling you to give… What are you waiting for?! Just be sure you’re listening to the Lord and you’re giving with JOY and EXPECTATION for the great return the Lord is going to provide to you! But remember the great blessing isn’t because of us… It’s because He’s an awesome God and that’s what He promises to do! AMEN!? Praise the Lord, thank you sooo much for the faithful giving, prayer and blessings you bring upon our ministry! We love you all very much! Keep loving and serving the Master!  the earth today. Let us beabout the Kingdom of Godtoday, knowing He lives inus to accomplish all thatHe has ever done in thepast. Today, let’s you and Igo forth and co-labor withthe same triune God thatlives in us. So that theworld might know He isamongst us the sameyesterday, today andforever.Amen.    A relationship activity that we highly recommend  you do on a constant basis... Really!
