Rozlyn Marie Knowles-Walker

On Wednesday May 27, 2009 @ 2:24 p.m. CDT in Rolla, MO Rozlyn Marie Knowles-Walker arrived. She was greeted by a host of physicians to help her breathe. She was in great distress once she was delivered having the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. Our daughter Beth made a stress filled call for us to pray. We did and we give God the Glory for bringing little Rozzy through it all. The doctor is concerned he had to break her clavicle to get her delivered. Little Miss Roz weighs 8 pounds and is 21 inches long. Today, May 29th she went home with her mom and dad, Alexis and Ron. Grand Mother (Oma Beth) and her new grand father (Opa Todd) are excited to have her near to them. Other Grand parents (Lexie's dad Kevin & step mother Lisa from Orlando will visit them soon).

Our Summer outreaches begin next Wednesday June 3 which will be non stop through July 24th. After the outreaches we plan to get to Salem, MO to visit Rozlyn & family. Should the Lord allow, we might get to head that way around our 41st wedding anniversary June 21st.

Great Grand Parents! It is almost overwhelming to comprehend. We welcome this new little life and commit her to God as she grows to follow the PATH HE has for her. May she be a light of His love to those around her and may she be used by God to lead others to HIM especially in these days and times we are living in.

Welcome to the world Rozlyn! May you always be encompassed by love and truth always. "Grammy and Papa" are always here for you! But most importantly! Jesus loves you & will always be near you in all you do. May you grow in HIS light and Love.

Thank you all who prayed for Rozlyn during her time of arrival and afterwards as the doctors helped her begin her life!

IF anyone can help me figure out how to publish a ''slide show" through Front Page 2003 into our two websites www.prministries.net and www.alltribesfellowshipwagner.com I would sure appreciate the help and information. However! I am a step 1, step 2, step 3 .... kind of a person.

This was published by our South Dakota District Youth/Chidren's/Christian Education Director Mark Entzminger. He is RIGHT ON!

Recently I hit the drive through and placed a simple one-item order. As I pulled ahead to the final window I noticed two other cars waiting to receive their order. I was amazed as I saw inside a few people casually walking around while one guy tried to hand out drive through orders through the window and to the cars parked ahead.

Shortly after he left for the parking lot my one-item order was bagged and set by the window ready to be handed out - but I had to wait until the one "presenter" made it back from his two parking lot deliveries.

Why? IBecause it was one person's job to bag the food, and the other person's job to hand it out. "I would have handed it to you, but it's not my job" was the thought that crossed my mind.

Here are some observations I came away with from that encounter.

1. People we serve don't care who's job it is. If there is a job that needs to be done, get it done the best and most efficient way possible.
2. The line moves quicker when everyone pitches in. Life has far too many spectators and needs more participants. We must all do our part to make a difference.
3. Chicken tastes better fresh.

How many times do you hear or say "That's not my job." Are you concerned that you'll do too much work, others will think you're trying to run the show, or you'll offend a co-worker for helping out?

"That's not my job." Should be eliminated from our excuse book.

I totally concur with this observation and suggestion! Too many people are sitting on the sidelines ''watching'' and never participating not realizing what they are missing. This has become "it's all about me'' society EVEN in our churches. I think sometimes we as pastors tend to lean a bit off the truth that it's NOT about us in the pulpits; but it's ALL ABOUT JESUS!
Thanks Pastor Mark for sharing this with us all.
