Hello - Posted: January 11, 2008   by Andrea Zint - 2003   
Hey guys, Ever have days that you wish you were back in the bubble? And the biggest thing you had to worry about is if you went to dinner or not? Just sitting here at work, thinking about WOLBI, hard to believe that I have been out of school for almost 5 years. Where has the time gone? I hope that this new year brings about lots of new things. I've love to catch up with everyone, and that may just have to wait until the other side of Heaven!!

PRAY for JOSH EWING, JEN CRAGO, FAMILIES - Posted: January 7, 2008   by Rebekah Rineer - 2002 , 2003  
Please pray for Josh Ewing and Jen Crago and their families. Josh has been battling Leukemia since the beginning of 2007. God is fully capable of doing a miracle in Josh's body, but if He decides not to heal him here on earth, Josh will be completely and totally healed in Heaven in the near future.

Thankful in 2008 - Posted: January 5, 2008   by Laura (Haggarty) and Ian Gilpatric - 1995 , 1996  
hello to you all. What a blessing it has been to read about the changes in everyones lives. God has certainly been faithful to us here in Maine. We are, however, extreamly greatful for His Hand of Mercy in this new year. Ian was on his way to a job interview when he was hit by a sleeping driver. Thankfully the kids were with the sitter as the back got hit hard. Ian is very sore, but he is alive and we are blessed by that. Our truck, well that is another story. Praising the Lord today in Maine for life. Would love ot hear from anyone who remembers me (maybe I am best known as Haggarty to those who remember me).

Wow, it is so exciting to see everyone's posts and catch up on your lives. It's fantastic to get back in touch with so many friends and see God blessing! I am married now going on 5 years...wow,time flies. Our 'kids' are made up of a shihtzu (Brynlee) & a great dane (Marlee)...so far we are doing pretty well training them... so, perhaps we'll try for a human kid soon...but we are in no rush! I am a Registered Nurse and the Supervisor of the E.R. here and love it! My husband and I met at LBC...he now works in administration in our church. We love our church...it is just growing and we are having so much fun with all the ministry opportunities we get to have a hand in! I would love to hear from you...drop me an e-mail or a message on Facebook! Be safe & healthy, Hannah

True Force tract discontinued by ATS... - Posted: December 18, 2007   by Master John A Kraly - 1992 , 1993  
I just got some deflating news for our guys(LifeSabers Fellowship) from ATS today, the time limit for the material printed in the True Force tract has expired and they are now out of print. We(LifeSabers Fellowship) are desperately trying to get organized/established so that I and or a few of us can start traveling around the country spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ at Science Fiction Conventions. Please continue to pray that God's F.O.R.C.E. is with us! F-ollowing O-ur R-edeemer, C-hrist E-ternal. "Should we beam you up Commodore??" LOL!
