MONDAY, 12/10
Sorry this entry is late but it has been a Monday all day long! Thanks for understanding!
Today is a special day in the Turrentine household as we celebrate “adoption day!” It was nine years ago today that Judge Red Noonan issued the order that allowed us to “officially” become the parents of Gina & Dana. Of course, we have had them in our care for basically their entire lives (thanks to Wayne & Wanda Garner) but it became official on this day. Lisa, Deidra, Daphne, & I are very grateful to our Heavenly Father for allowing us to be a part of Gina & Dana’s lives – we are blessed!
Exie Woods and Sarah Thornton remained hospitalized and will most likely be there for a few more days. Sara Nell Moulds continues to rehab at home and is doing well. Lou Ricci (Canada) was moved from ICU last night so she is making progress in her recovery too.
Yesterday was a good day for us in our services. It was special last night to sing “happy birthday” to Buddy & Craig (if only Kim French could have been there too!) and thanks for generously giving to their offering – those guys received $225 each! (Several others have since shared their date of birth with me!) Wow!
We focused on John the Baptist in our services yesterday morning and last night. I continue to be amazed that Jesus stated that “For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” May we be found faithful in doing the Father’s Will!
I was saddened to learn of the killings in Colorado yesterday at the mission training center and the church. Tragic! Pray for those families!
I hope you have a great evening with Jesus!
