Are you in need of renewal? For the Lord has driven out
great and powerful nations for you, and no one has yet been able to
defeat him. Each one of you will put to flight a thousand of the enemy,
for the Lord your God fights for you, just as he promised. So be
careful to love the Lord your God. Joshua 23:9-11 NLT About this week's promise When
strength fails and we grow weary, we need someone to come alongside us,
show understanding, cheer us up, and inspire us to have the strength
and commitment to move on. When bills pile up and money runs short, we
need an encourager. When we become single parents and the world seems
against us, we need an encourager. When friends and family turn against
us, we need an encourager. Our strength and resolve weaken. Oh, for
someone to come beside us and lift us up and comfort us. Encouragers
help us stir renewed commitment, renewed resolve. They inspire us with
courage and hope. Encouragers bring a beautiful gift, often a spiritual
gift, when they bring renewal through encouragement. adapted from
TouchPoint Bible with devotional commentary by Ron Beers and Gilbert
Beers, Tyndale House Publishers (1996), p 1188 Digging Deeper For
more on God's blessing of courage and encouragement, try Out of Harm's
Way by Jack Thompson, Tyndale House Publishers (2005). Jack, an
outraged father and activist lawyer, is on a mission to protect
children from the violent and obscene video games, music lyrics, shock
jock radio shows, and television programs he says are creating a
culture of violence and degradation. Going beyond outrage, Thompson
chronicles his own spiritual journey from bystander to activist and
offers the sociological, medical, scientific, and legal evidence that
will motivate all Americans-especially parents-to get involved. Content is derived from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation and other publications of Tyndale Publishing House

Public
housing plans go to feds for review
By Rhiannon Meyers The Daily News
Published January 3, 2010
GALVESTON - The U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development will scrutinize Galveston Housing Authority's plan to rebuild
569 hurricane-damaged public housing units to ensure public housing isn't
concentrated in one area, but the agency declined to comment further until it
receives the agency's redevelopment plans.
SAN LEON - Gary Browning's house always has been a
work in progress. For more than 30 years, the Vietnam War veteran had been
remodeling and expanding the two-story structure.
CRYSTAL BEACH - Skeletal remains recovered from a
Hurricane Ike debris field in ChambersCounty were identified as a GalvestonCounty resident, an official said
Friday.
Five months after Hurricane Ike
slammed into the Texas coast on September 13,
2008, Houston artist Bert Long drove through the
BolivarPeninsula, the area hardest hit by the
storm. Long was stunned by what he saw; the damage was apocalyptic and recovery
had barely begun. Over the next eight months, Long photographed the
devastation.
