Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness,
and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your
Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The path of an honest fighter is a difficult one. And when the fighter grows cool in the evening of his life this is still no excuse to retire into games and amusement. Whoever remains faithful to his decision will realize that his whole life is a struggle. Such a person does not fall into the temptation of proudly telling others of what he has done with his life. Nor will he talk about the “great decisions” he has made. He knows full well that at decisive moments you have to renew your resolve again and again and that this alone makes good the decision and the decision good.

Are you thinking about a vacation, but don’t want to go where there will be crowds? Someplace you could go with family, fish and enjoy a lake and the woods?
How does a cabin right next to Lake Texoma sound? Camp All Saints in Pottsboro has rentals for families and singles available. While the Camp did not open for the summer programs due to the pandemic, it is open to families and singles for a summer escape.
Overnight prices ranges from $100 a night and up, depending on the cabin or accommodation. Some cabins have kitchens; all have air-conditioning.
