MONDAY, 5/10/10

The Lord blessed us with a really nice day in our services yesterday.  We had another profession of faith and the attendance was very good in all three services.  Clint Landry preached in the evening service and, if you didn’t know, a pulpit committee was in attendance to hear him.  Clint is one of our “preacher boys” and I ask you to join me in praying for the Lord’s will in his life.

Speaking of our “preacher boys”, John Vickers has been called to 1st Baptist Jackson, MS as a summer intern in their student ministry.  He joined their church by “watchcare” yesterday morning.  Wes Bates will fly to New York this Saturday, 5/15/ to preach a series of revival services beginning on Sunday, 5/16.  I am proud of these young men and ask that you pray for them too.

Bro. Benny McGath has felt impressed of the Lord to begin using one of our buses to help transport folks to the Spanish service on Sunday afternoons.  If you will help with this ministry, please contact him.  I think it is a great opportunity to help grow this ministry numerically.

We got the hospitals almost completely emptied out this weekend and then Pattie Suthoff was readmitted last night.  Faith Hovel is scheduled to be discharged from the hospital today.  Edna H. Glover’s brother, James Miller, had surgery on his hip in Laurel, MS yesterday.  Susan B. Quinn received her first chemotherapy treatment yesterday afternoon.  Bill Abendroth is home.  Lois Kirschenman was in our 8:00AM service yesterday.  Oscar Petersen & Donnie Felps continue to recover at home from their respective heart surgeries.  Carla Kyser & Miss Joyce Bosarge continue to battle their respective cancer.  As far as I know, there is not change in Jayne English’s situation.  The student from Jeanette Bates’ class received his halo as a part of his first surgery. Rita Vice is scheduled for surgery tomorrow afternoon and Ruby Gulley is scheduled for Wednesday.  Pray for all of these folks.

I received word last night that Pastor Ron Burch’s (formerly of 1st Theodore) wife passed away over the weekend and he received word yesterday that his mother wasn’t expected to live through the day.  Ron now pastors in the Vicksburg, MS area.  Pray for this family.

We are beginning Phase IV of the CAB renovation this morning at 8:00AM as the “old guys” have at it again.  We are on schedule to complete the upstairs by the end of May.  Thanks to John Curl & Kenny Lingle for the paint work on Phase III and to Bro. Benny for the clean up duty!  (Folks, there is always a need to help with clean up!)  We will soon have to make a decision about the banister and then we will be ready to move downstairs at some point in June or July.

Nice call Joe David as the Suns swept the Spurs!  The Lakers need to take the broom to Utah tonight.  It was good to see that the Celtics evened their series with the Cavs.  (Is there any way they both can lose?)  Right now, the Magic appear unstoppable.

Here is your NHL hockey update combined with the FIFA soccer update –

How about Soy?  Word came from the team (I’m being honest) that Soy was “pouting” on Friday as whoever fixed his PB&J sandwich at lunch didn’t cut it into triangles – wow!

Gotta go get some stuff done before the work day commences!  Hope you have a great Monday with Jesus.

LM4LM is coming!
