WORD OF THE DAY - Thursday 07 July 2011 from Nikolaev, Ukraine

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. (Romans 6:12 NIV)

Итак да не царствует грех в смертном вашем теле, чтобы вам повиноваться ему в похотях его; (К Римлянам 6:12 Russian)
No reine, pues, el pecado en vuestro cuerpo mortal, para que le obedezcáis en sus concupiscencias; (Romanos 6:12 Spanish)
O LORD God, our Dear Father in Heaven ~ Thank you for the joy and bliss we experience on another new day as we ponder the amazing gift of life that resides in our frail bodies. Give us wisdom and stronger faith so that we will not allow sin to dominate our lives. Help us to maintain control over our thoughts, desires and plans so that we are engaged in thinking and doing good which is the mark of all true followers of Christ. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Yesterday was another day of experiencing the joy of hard labor. The only problem we have with living in an apartment in Nikolaev is the lack of outdoor activities except for our frequent walks which more than makes up for the joy of gardening. We went to the train station here in Slavyansk and bought our tickets back to Nikolaev. We are scheduled to leave tomorrow night and arrive on Saturday in the early afternoon. Many people are going south to the Black Sea, so we had to take this train instead of one that would get us home earlier in the day. It is very efficient that we are able to receive phone calls here in Slavyansk from our fellow Christians, WEI students and prospective students. We continue to schedule people for appointments while we are here. Thank you for the prayers.
