MONDAY, 7/20/09
We had a good weekend! God is good! I am grateful for the moving of the Holy Spirit in our worship services. Thanks to Kerry Woods, Brad Hutto, and the student ministry band helping lead our musical worship along with our regular instrumentalists. We are blessed with good folks willing to serve however and whenever. I don’t take that lightly!
Word has it that the GRACE team being led by Bro. Jerry is doing well. Carlee Whitmore gave us one brief blog entry on Friday night and Deidra (who is clueless) updated briefly yesterday afternoon. Keep praying for them. I have always lived by the “no news is good news” theory.
Vicki’s nephew, Gunner Law, did well during surgery and is home. Kathy Wadkins cousin also did well but I don’t know if she is at home. Little Ben Glass received his brace and is doing better per Joyce. Maxine Ervin Dupont’s grandson, Daniel Baggett, suffered an injury that has cost him the loss of one of his eyes. It had to do with a see-saw bouncing up and hitting him. He is 28 years old. Maxine’s granddaughter, Kimberly, (Anthony’s daughter) is in her late twenties and she suffered a stroke late last week. She is hospitalized in Texas. Dee Dee Douglas’ father, George, continues to battle his cancer as does Carla Kyser, Joyce Bosarge, Max Peacock, Gloria Morrison, and Johnny Gulley. Pray for these folks.
“An Evening of GRACE” is going to be one of those services that you don’t want to miss! I promise you that! If you do miss it, you are going to hear the reports and then wish you had been present. So, keep 8/2 clear on your calendar and join us from 5:00PM – 7:00PM. It is going to be great! Pray for that service with Pastor Mel Hacker, Pastor Bob Harvey, April McNiel, & Jaclyn Weaver.
Pastor Jack Bailey called me this weekend. Basically, he wanted some tips on blogging. I am trying to help him. Mama used to take Eddie & me to hear Pastor Jack preach when we were just toddlers! Jack preaching and Rex Looney singing – those were the days!
Mark Mast asked about Samuel coming to Canada to join them on their annual canoe trip. I was just about to purchase his plane ticket when I read that Bro. Johnny Tucker was going to be their speaker – that ended that! They will probably serve “stoked up” eggs for breakfast!
Thanks to Greg Boutwell for the “all sweet” watermelon. That is going to be awesome! Also, thanks to Tim Knighten for merely “blowing his horn” as he passed by Thursday morning while I was push mowing our yard! His advice yesterday was for me to purchase a riding mower.
By the way, it was nice to have Kerry Woods future son-in-law, Kevin, in our services yesterday. Plus, Kayla Brown has gotten another unsuspecting one in her clutches and he was with us too. I was pretty impressed as he is from Arkansas and had most of his teeth! LOL!
It’s 2:30AM and I am headed to Wal Mart as I need to save some money. Anybody need anything while I am out?
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus!
