WEDNESDAY, 8/29/12
It is 4:00AM as I write this entry. I am posting now because we obviously have electricity and internet service. (I called Al last night and he promised to keep the internet service up and running!)
Remember, we are NOT having any services/classes/Bible studies today!
The church office will be CLOSED today. However, the ministerial staff will be on call in the event we are needed for an emergency or to help anyone with storm related issues. I have checked the forecast and it calls for constant rain through tomorrow night. The office will be open tomorrow, 8/30.
Art Elliott was all poised to go home yesterday until he found out the company that supplies the pump he needs closed up shop until at least tomorrow. So, he will remain in the hospital until at least tomorrow and possibly until Friday. He has understandably grown impatient but said God has a reason for him to remain hospitalized for now.
As far as I know, T.C. Phillips remains hospitalized too. They did diagnose the cause of his problems yesterday but were going to do some more testing.
Scott Cumbie, Caroline Ford’s son, had surgery yesterday and remains hospitalized. Pray for these folks.
So, I am talking to Amy Reynolds via the phone yesterday morning and she tells me that she was baking a cake! What an oxymoron – Amy & baking! (She later confessed that Will’s mother was there baking the cake!)
Soy, Brad, Titus and I got out late yesterday afternoon and picked up about one million of the three million pecan tree limbs down on our property. (Actually, Soy & Titus rode the gator while Brad and I picked up limbs) Rita & Beck Hatcher sat on the porch sipping coffee and watching as we worked which included cleaning up the limbs from Rita’s yard. Thanks ladies! (I felt like Ross, Joe David & Tico were present!)
I pray that everyone will remain safe today. It would be best to stay off of the highways today unless it is an emergency. Again, you can call any staff member if you have an emergency. (Emergencies do not include asking us to run to Walmart to get you a soft drink, et cetera – LOL!)
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus!
