MEDITATIONS OF THE HEART
Summer always brings the feeling that life will slow down for many people. For those in church ministry, we often don’t know that feeling because so much ministry happens in the summer. With VBS and camps for both children and youth and the preparations that go along, the days of summer often pass quickly with much activity. I am writing this article as we are in the middle of VBS 2026. Illumination Station will be coming to an end by the time most read this newsletter.
As pastor, my encouragement to you and myself is to remember the purpose of all that we do. The gospel compels us to keep it in front of ourselves at all times. In everything we do this summer, the gospel is never to be laid aside or pushed aside by family vacations or anything related to ministry.
I am thankful for everyone at Haven Heights. Your faithfulness to serve others and to focus on the gospel while doing so speaks to your love for our Lord Jesus Christ. Our lives are to be all about Him in whatever we do, even during the days of summer. If you do get the opportunity to slow down some this summer or to vacation as a family, keep the gospel in mind. God can bring an opportunity for any one of us to speak the good news of Jesus Christ no matter where we find ourselves over the summer days.
Bro. Jimmy
MUSIC NOTES
Sometimes we are jealous because we think that others are “luckier “ -more blessed than we are. Sometimes others are jealous because they think that we are “luckier“ -more blessed than they are. I believe that every one of us is perfectly blessed in every situation because we have a perfect God. We have to take into account, however, that sometimes we make bad choices and that affects God’s response to our situation. Sometimes others make bad choices, and we are caught up in the consequences of their poor decisions. God is not caught off guard, but this does, I think, affect His response in a given situation. God always knows the best thing to do and He always does it because He is the perfect Father. He gives us the perfect amount of grace (unmerited favor) in every situation. God’s Spirit reminded me last week that grace isn’t partially merited, but that it is totally unmerited. I am not worthy of the least amount of God’s perfect grace. God is not limited in any situation. He owns it all and has it all and has nothing less when He gives because His storehouse is limitless. I don’t always get everything I want, but I Praise God for His perfect grace!
II Samuel 22:31 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler (shield/protector) to all them that trust in Him.

RAGLAND’S RAMBLINGS
Life without school. The much-anticipated summer months are here! Wow! It has been a busy time, but the fun has just got started. I have been so impressed with VBS/VBX this year. The decorations and set up are mind blowing. I want to commend Kirsten Dorsey, her husband Grant, and her mom Angela for the work they have put in on everything. The planning and execution were incredible. I want to thank all of the teachers, helpers, support, and bus drivers for their tireless work and sacrifice. As of Monday night, there were SIXTY-THREE kids that were apart of VBS/VBX. What a blessing!
I want to thank those that worked and gave to the yard sale for camp. I understand, around $1,200 was raised for scholarships. We sure thank you! Like everything else, camp prices continue to rise. Camp sites like everyone else has to meet the demands of the price of food, fuel, ect. I have been doing this a while and I have to say that camp is one of the VITAL ministries to students. The ability to get away from the world and FOCUS on Jesus is crucial, especially in this social media - internet driven world. Can YOU disconnect for a week? Spend 75% of your waking hour days to hearing and thinking about Jesus?
Love for our students is VERY evident at HHBC, always has been, and I think that God has richly blessed us because of that mindset. Thank you, brothers and sisters.
Kathy and I also want to express a personal thank you for the prayers you have lifted for our Gunner Ray. He did come 2 months early, but he is a fighter. He continuesto make small but definite positive steps every day. What an incredible blessing he is. Many of you told me to be ready for the joys to come and you are exactly right. We received a video of his first smile recently, yeah only Heaven could produce something as wonderful. Little Ray still has a long road but with God is on his side, it ain't nothing but a thing.
God Bless you all. We love you.
Brother Randy
