The arrangements for Ralph & Don Rimmer’s grandmother are as follows:  visitation with the family tonight, 12/4, from 5:00 until 8:00PM at the St. Elmo Bible Church.  Service tomorrow, 12/5, at 1:00PM also from the St. Elmo Bible Church. 

We had a good Wednesday as God blessed our various services, Bible studies, and classes.  It seemed that our attendance in the auditorium was down some which is surprising to me since it is Christmas.  Isn’t Christmas about celebrating Jesus? 

I spoke to Miss Carmen Reyer late yesterday afternoon and she is doing very well in her recovery from knee replacement surgery.  Keep praying for her!

Ralph & Don Rimmer’s paternal grandmother passed away Monday.  The visitation will take place tonight and the funeral service will be held tomorrow.  I do not have the specific details but do ask that you pray for the Rimmer family.

Our Upward season begins tonight with the first game beginning at 6:00PM.  I ask you to pray for Bro. Benny and all involved in this ministry. 

I continue to be “surprised” at our society.  Coach Tuberville’s firing yesterday afternoon amazes me!  Of course, I don’t feel “sorry” for anyone receiving a six million dollars bonus for being fired!  We live in a society that doesn’t remember what you have done for me but one that asks what are you going to do for me right now?  The days of appreciation and thankfulness seem to be history!  To me, that’s sad!   

Speaking of football, if Tim Tebow is reading this post – I feel that he may should consider a three day “fast” from the sport and that fast should begin this Friday and end Sunday!  I am a Tim Tebow fan but. . .

Anyone interested in a possible skiing trip needs to contact me via e-mail – yesterday! 

I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
