Matthew 6:25-27 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life.

With all the chaos and turmoil during these uncertain times, I think about this passage a lot. I want to share some spiritual thoughts regarding what we are facing in our world today. 1) Think about the birds. They are always happy. You never see them stressed out. 2) Worry is our failure to trust in God. 3) Worry does not reduce problems. It creates new ones. 4) Today's worry robs tomorrow of it's joy. 5) Release the things you cannot control. 6) Replace thoughts of fear , anxiety and worry with Godly thoughts of hope. It is easy to panic and focus on current events, but before you do remember God is still in control. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. Have a blessed day.

God Bless,
Chaplain Brad Hall ... See MoreSee Less

Gaston County has issued a Burning Ban period. The Ranger informed me at the scene. the only thing you can burn is a bonfire in a metal pit with a mesh lid. They are giving no warnings, it will be a ticket.

This is what happens when you burn on a burning ban. Thanks to Barney Smith Graysin Peglow Jeffrey Thomas Royster and the Alexis Fire department for knocking it out before it spread.

Lincoln County Fire Marshal Office has issued a burn ban with in 100 feet of your residence. Gaston has not as of yet

Gaston just did also.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will direct your path.

In this time of uncertainty and fear, take a deep breath and focus on the one who is in control in the middle of chaos. We are all having to make adjustments and sacrifices from our normal routine. Let me encourage you to take this time to spend some quality time with your families and with the Lord. Spend time together in his word and in prayer. May this downtime in life bring you and your family closer together to each other and to him. Remember, God is in control in the good times and in the bad times. All you need to do is trust in him. If I can pray with you and your family about anything, please let me know.

God Bless,
Chaplain Brad Hall
