Saturday, July 31^st Professor Pitts wrote these simple words to his students:

“This is an important week. We are almost at the end!”

…He went to be with the Lord the following Thursday.

I do not take his words lightly, and do not believe he would want us to.  Every week, every day, every moment is important.  Your relationship with God…your acceptance of His love through Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for our salvation is number one.  Your relationship with your family and others is next.   We never know when we are almost at the end…this is an important week….2011…is an important year.  It has to be important…it is the year we are in.

Romans  8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus”…and there is more…check out Romans.

Love to all and God bless in 2011…

For God’s Glory,
