Pastor's Blog

Deidra just called to ask why I haven’t posted an entry today which was news to me since I posted at 2:15AM.  Don’t ask me what happened but I found that entry and here it is.  Something about insufficient postage!  I can make more than one mistak! 

I can make a mistak!  Yesterday, I completely forgot to list Teddy Ray Jackson’s father as a prayer concern.  Mr. Jackson is above 80 years old and he had five (I think) by passes done on his heart last Thursday.  Teddy Ray called me late yesterday afternoon to tell me that his dad is improving. 

Also, I did not realize that Marilyn Thomas’ mother, Peggy Brett, was still in the hospital.  Furthermore, I did not know that Martha Patrick had been admitted to a local hospital on Sunday afternoon.  Her brother, James Swann, remains hospitalized too.  Jay Black has a great uncle, J.P. Moore, who is not doing well physically either.  Please join me in praying for these various needs.

Pray for Phyllis Bush and her family as they deal with the passing of her mother, Mollie Maggard.  They will have a time of visitation tonight from 4:00 – 7:00PM at Serenity Funeral Home.  As I wrote yesterday, the service and burial will take place in Meridian, MS. 

We have been blessed to have some absolutely wonderful folks from other churches and States join us on our GRACE trips.  One of the most delightful folks you will ever meet is Dr. Russ Mohney from Michigan.  He has taken part in our medical trip the past two years.  Today is his birthday – I think his 95th one!  I don’t think he is included in our readership which is up to 17 folks now but I wanted to wish Dr. Russ a happy birthday anyway!  If you see a seasoned doctor today who laughs a lot then wish him a happy birthday from me! 

There was a fairly significant flood in Memphis, TN yesterday afternoon.  It was not because of the rainfall but rather it was caused by Bret Hart playing golf!  He hit so many balls into the water that the lakes got out of their banks!  You will not confuse Bret for Tiger! 

I am cheating again this morning as it is 2:00AM and I decided to post before catching a few hours of sleep.  Rest assured, I will be fully awake by 6:45AM as that is when Cameron Watson gets into my vehicle each morning.  He knows one speed – wide open! 

Pastor Travis Northcutt – are you still out there in cyberspace? 

I pray that you will have a great day with Jesus!
