THURSDAY, 8/9/12
Diane Bryant’s second cousin, Tristan Barger, passed away early last night. His biological father arrived from Afghanistan and the decision was made to remove Tristan from life support. Pray for the Barger family.
Marie Brooks sent an e-mail last night saying that Miss Carolyn Kittles did well through her procedure yesterday. Praise the Lord!
Visited with Miss Jackie Goff yesterday morning and plan on doing the same this morning. If it is left up to her she will come home yesterday! She was doing some better but still has several health issues. Pray for her.
My dad will have another kidney stone blasted this morning. He has battled kidney stones several times over the years and I do not want to inherit that trait!
Last night was a bit unusual for me as Bro. Jerry was preaching. I went into the senior high Bible study for a few minutes and basically got to hear Bro. Chris’ report on camp and the band play one song. I then slipped into the middle school Bible study and listened to Bro. Jim Chinners teach for a few minutes – one of the best messages on tithing I have ever heard! I then slipped into the auditorium to hear Bro. Jerry’s message.
Our 8:00PM Bible study attendance was way up last night as our new crop of freshmen joined us. I think we had 33 in attendance. It was good to have them with us. Even the future Mr. Parath was present as were two guys from the Tuscaloosa area who are going to school at USA and UM. We “may” be about to (or fixin to if you are from the deep South) begin a new Bible study for “older” young adults. We will see.
I do not speak “deacon” language. They nominated men as officers in that language this past Sunday. I thought Bernard Suthoff has been nominated/elected as vice-chairman. Instead, it was Herbert Benefield who was elected. Totally my mistake/misunderstanding and I apologize!
Today will be a tough day for me as it was six years ago today that Bruce Gill passed from this life. Seems so unreal!
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
