“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Pastor Terry spoke last night about our “trying hard” to live the Christian life. That is us “leaning unto our own understanding” instead of trusting the Lord. Ever been there? Me too! Lord, help me to more fully trust You!
JB Kelley will have surgery on his eye today. Pray for him as he is technically blind in his other eye so this surgery is important.
Bill Goff’s surgery went well. Miss Jackie claims his eye is black because of the surgery but those of us who know her know. . . . LOL! Edna says that Sonni continues to be in a lot (my high school English teacher always cringed when one used the words a lot) of pain. Pray for Sonni. Evangelist David Miller’s brother, JB Miller suffered a severe stroke and is in an intensive care unit of a local hospital. Of course, David & JB are Edna Holifield’s first cousins. David is here with his brother so pray for the Miller family.
Kathy Wadkins pulled a ligament in her back but that is basically something that happened due to her old age! Personally, I think she is “milking it” to get Kevin to wait on her hand & foot! Pray for Kevin!
Deidra posted an entry in the GRACE blog section last night. Alisha & Pam arrived safely. The rains have arrived in full force. The Memphis folks are doing well although Ryan never updates his blog! (He reminds me of Bret Hart & Donald Pennell)
We will not have our regular service this morning. Also, our evening service will be in the auditorium from 6:00 – 8:00PM. Pastor Terry should begin preaching/teaching around 7:00PM and everyone is invited to join us for that time in the Word.
Our second day of VBS went very well. We have had a few glitches during the first two days but Bro. Jerry & Miss Myrtle are doing a great job of adjusting on the fly. I don’t have the exact numbers but we are somewhere in the 400 range as far as our attendance goes for these first two days.
Wow, Pastor Jack Bailey used an entire blog entry to “vent” on me yesterday. Can I help it that the Lakers are the most dominant team in professional sports and that Kobe is perhaps the greatest player of all time? Yes, I too like Dwight Howard as I have already stated but the facts are the facts! I was only joking when I said there were only two Celtics fans as I know Reb Nevin & Ethan McGath are in that number as well. Now that Rex Looney knows that Miss June Bailey is a Celtics fan, he will probably join that club too. Go Lakers!
My bigger concern right now is that the Red Wings lost last night. Also, I would have loved to have seen the SEC win the softball championship but I didn’t cry when the Florida Gatorettes got beat! (Sorry Amanda, the Bradleys, & traitor Sam!)
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus!
