Wow, April is here already and the tax man cometh! Amazingly enough, Lisa and I have already met with our CPA and basically have our taxes done! We go back this Friday afternoon late to sign the forms and send them in. I have always waited until the 15th to do our taxes but this year has been different! I think TJ Vice has been my inspiration!
Thank you for praying for me as I drove to Baton Rouge and back yesterday. It was good to see Dr. Mike and to be there to support him during his mother’s funeral service. I did not attend the burial as it was in Bunkie, LA. I don’t know where Bunkie is but do know it was two hours from Baton Rouge.
I did take a few minutes and stopped by the grave of my friend, Evangelist Bruce Gill. He is buried in a church cemetery located just a mile or so from I-12. I still miss Bruce greatly and have a difficult time with his passing. I drove through Albany in order to get back on the interstate and that was a drive down memory lane. Precious memories!
I asked Bro. Jerry to contact Tanya Bosarge asking her to be our representative at the funeral service for Ben Mallett’s grandfather yesterday afternoon. I appreciate her doing that as it was not possible for me to be back in time for that service.
I did not get an update on Greg Boutwell’s brother, David, but do know he continues to need our prayer support.
The response to our hosting the Pastor’s Conference in Guatemala has been very favorable as has the response to our hosting classes to help folks earn their GED. I am excited about both of these new ministry opportunities.
Bret, I heard you used the “I’m sick” card to skip church this past Sunday. Was that to make sure you didn’t miss the UM vs UT game?
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus. “We are fools for Christ’s sake!” (I Corinthians 4:10)
