We will soon be under the realization that Joyce and I have been with you for three years.  We hope that these years have been uplifting for you as we have poured our heart into the work here. Joyce has worked very hard and enjoys her work at the McKinney House Assisted Living where she has worked her way up to heading up the dining. She    sometimes serves as weekend  supervisor.  Without her sacrifice it would be totally impossible for us to be here  because of the healthcare factor.  With that in mind I would like to take part of this Heart Thoughts to thank her personally for the way she works so that we can continue to help the Church here in Logansport.  I know from past experiences that I have not always enjoyed the things we had to do to make a living.  Joyce enjoys her job and making a difference in the lives of the elderly using her talents to put a smile on their faces.

     As far as the work here at Yorktown Road is concerned we have came a long way since three years ago.  We are now blessed through the guidance of our Elders to be able to teach as never before in the history of this congregation. I really appreciate their vision to let  us continue the endeavors that will make a difference in this congregation in the future. The new technology encourages many now to take an active role in the work of the church  and we can vividly teach and preach the Word of God in Spirit and in Truth as never before..
     
     Community outreach is something I stressed as we  begin working with you three years ago. The  reestablishment of the fair booth that is designed to have a hands on relationship with the community is really important.  The Radio programs continue to get good   reviews from both the listener's and those who are in the professional field.  Our Ad's that run randomly in our local paper send a personal invitation to many households in our community.  Our web page continues to get wonderful reviews from all over the country and the "Life Thoughts" That you read each week are published all over the Nation in church bulletins and brotherhood publications.   
     
     We have many who have fell off the wagon through the years  (Even before we were here)  and my prayers are with them. Too many hearts are harboring ill wishes and bad attitudes that need to forget the past. My personal prayers go out to these individuals in hopes that hearts may be mended before it is too late. Let me also say I love you all anyway. 
   
     To our floaters and part timers let me say, that it does  not in any way shape or form, discourage Joyce and I for the great task ahead.  We knew when we came here we were facing a challenge. So let the challenge continue.  Thanks to all those who have showed endurance with love. God does all things well and in His time.   - RLW
