Bro. Jerry has asthmatic bronchitis and has been placed on total rest by his doctor for yesterday and today. He sees the doctor again this afternoon so pray that he will show improvement. He is not supposed to even be talking on the phone.
I received a few more calls/contacts yesterday asking about my brother in China. Again, he and his wife are in the States and are fine. Thank you for your concern and please pray for those affected by this terrible tragedy.
A tragedy hit a SBC church family in the Tampa, FL area. Pastor Forrest Pollock, 44, of the Bell Shoals Baptist Church and his 13 year old son were killed in a plane crash this past Monday morning. Pastor Pollock was the pilot and his son was the only passenger. They had flown to North Carolina on Sunday afternoon to visit Pastor Forrest’s mother and left there bound for a preaching engagement in Texas. He is survived by his wife and five other children. You can read updates on www.bellshoals.com.
My southern gospel friends already knew this but I learned yesterday that Dottie Rambo, 74, was killed in a bus accident this past Sunday morning. Wow, that lady wrote a million (2,500) songs.
I have good news – Ryan Johnston has been located! His “lame” excuse was that he had to keep the kids as his wife wasn’t home – whatever!
A reception is being held today at Castlen Elementary to honor Stella Brinkman on her retirement. Congratulations to Stella!
This will be a normal busy Wednesday with our morning service and then the evening activities. I will be preaching a funeral service at noon today. Pray for me as this is one of those where I don’t know the deceased lady or any of her family members. The funeral home called yesterday afternoon looking for a pastor to minister to this family.
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus!
