So far, one body has been found in Mexico Beach, but authorities say there is little doubt the death toll will rise. Search and rescue personnel are continuing to comb through the ruins of a small Florida Panhandle community destroyed by Hurricane Michael, which has left hundreds thousands without power and without easy access to supplies.
Crews with dogs went door-to-door Saturday in Mexico Beach, pushing aside debris to get inside badly damaged structures in a second wave of searches following what they described as an initial, “hasty” search of the area. About 1,700 search and rescue personnel have checked 25,000 homes, Florida Gov. Rick Scott said
Michael made landfall Wednesday as a Category 4 hurricane with 155 mph winds (249 kph) and heavy storm surge. The tally of lives lost across the South stood at 15, including the victim found in the rubble of Mexico Beach, where about 1,000 people live.

God’s grace is at work in us, changing us into the image of Christ—and we can rest assured that God will continue this work until it is complete in glory.
Grace is God’s unmerited favor toward us as sinners. It is love and kindness that we don’t deserve. It began in eternity past when He chose us in Christ to be adopted into the family of God (Eph. 1:4–5).
By His grace, He awakens us from spiritual death and gives us new life. God’s grace is bigger, greater, deeper, and more amazing than many people realize.

“It’s a way for me to stay levelheaded,” said the 25-year-old right-hander of his part-time gig with Cyrus Wright Plumbing in his home state of Oklahoma. It’s not hard to stay humble when you’re unclogging a toilet.
Fulmer said he is just one of a number of Tigers players committed to Jesus. On a recent Sunday in Kansas City, Mo., 13 Detroit players showed up for the informal prayer service known as Baseball Chapel, he said.

Royal Wedding: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle broke with tradition to ask US Episcopal Bishop Michael Curry to speak at their wedding. And Curry did not disappoint the couple or the viewing audience. He offered some powerful words on love.
Bishop Curry: “Love is the only way. There’s power in love. Don’t underestimate it. Don’t even over sentimentalize it. There’s power, power in love. If you don’t believe me, think about a time when you first fell in love.”
“The whole world seemed to center around you and your beloved. Well, there’s power, power in love, not just in its romantic forms, but any form, any shape of love.”

Catherine Davis, founder and president of The Restoration Project gathered community leaders to the Lincoln Memorial Wednesday to shed some light on an issue that has plagued our nation and especially the African-American and minority communities for far too long: Abortion.
Attendees included Rev. Dean Nelson of Human Coalition and Alveda King among others.
The Vision of The Restoration Project:
“We envision a world where men are men as God intended – where fatherlessness ceases to exist and the hearts of men are fully restored to God, family and community.”
“We imagine a world where the inner wounds of men are healed, where men know God deeply and wildly, and where men move from an inner core of strength to restore God’s Kingdom to the world.”

With both foster and adoptive situations, Bethany Christian Services strives to offer safe, loving Christian homes for kids by assessing prospective foster and/or adoptive families and seeing what their living situations are like.
Since Bethany’s goal is to reunite families and kids, they help provide “support and services to birth parents to make sure it’s safe for the kids to return and that process would involve the agency making recommendations and then, also, the court weighing in on whether or not the children are able to go home.”

So you’ve noticed something. Your ability to lead well seems to fluctuate. Some days you’re sharp, but on other days you’re sluggish, fuzzy or so burdened down you feel like you can’t lead anything well.
When you work at the mental aspect of leadership, you’ll discover what many leaders have discovered: changing your mind about how you lead, feel and think changes everything.
When it’s appropriate, the weight of leadership can spur you toward leading better. But when it crushes you, all of the benefits of feeling responsible for what you lead disappear.
