This just in from MARTHA S TABLE: McKenna s Wagon favorites our PB&J s win again! The Martha s Table mobile food program is known throughout the city by the 300 men and women who look forward to McKenna s Wagon hot meals, extra sandwiches, fruit and snacks 365 days a year and by the thousands of hard working volunteers that staff the Wagon every night. It is also known by the hundreds of partners who regularly provide food for McKenna s Wagon. Recently, some folks let us know their favorite meal. The hands-down winner? Our staple PB&J sandwiches, with meat and cheese running a close second. McKenna s Wagon needs every helping hand to prepare PB&J s and many more nutrition-packed meals for the homeless and hungry in our city.

6 A Shepherd for Stressful Times - Week 4 The Stress of INDECISION The word stress comes from the Latin word meaning tight. It s a picture of a rope strung between 2 points. Like 2 opposing ideas that won t let go of each other. A double minded person is unstable in all his ways (James 1:8) 4 Simple Steps - to Follow the Lord 1. Before you can be led by God you have to admit you need a guide. There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is death. (Proverbs 14:12) 2. After we admit we need help - we need to ask in faith. If anybody lacks wisdom, let him ask God. (James 1:5) ASK = Ask - Seek - Knock 3. Listen - to what God has to say to you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them and they follow Me. (John 10:27) 1st We listen - but it takes practice to hear God s voice 2nd We listen to His Spirit - alive & well within us 3rd We listen to God through prayer 4th We listen to God through teachers and preachers 5th We listen by daily turning to God s Word 4. We have to trust God and then follow. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5,6)
