Heard a preacher one time say, "Be very careful what you pray for because when GOD starts answering your prayer HE will, according to scripture, open the windows of Heaven and pour out blessings you will not be able to hold. Well, we here at Poverty Flats USA felt it was time to pray for a little bit of rain for our gardens. We prayed real hard, two or three times. Even prayed with our eyes closed !! Well, today about 5:00 pm, GOD opened the windows, AND the doors and dumped almost 3 inches of rain in 90 minutes !!!! We're not going to pray that hard again for a while !!!!!!
Seriously, GOD really does hear and answer our prayers. Not always the way we expect, but HE does answer. If you need HIM, HE is always there. GOD's phone # is found in the Old Testament, Jeremiah 33:3 where he says " Call on ME and I will answer thee, and show you great and mighty things which thou knowest not. "
It's BBQ time again. This weekend we will be close to home in Joplin MO. We will be at an event called Emancipation Days. It will run Aug. 1-3. Hope to meet a lot of new people there. One of the side benefits to our business is that we get to meet so many new people and visit with them.

Well , as happens each day about this time, we come to the close of another day. I remember a prayer we recited as children long ago, " If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. " I'm going to sleep knowing that no matter what happens between now and morning, GOD is still in control of my destiny.

Until next time, from me to you, Via Con Dios DM Pitmaster Texas BBQ & Beans
