Michael C. Beech passed away yesterday morning, 2/24.  His grown children used to ride the bus to church many years ago when they were children.  The visitation with the family takes place tomorrow, 2/26, from 11:00AM until noon at the Serenity Funeral Home in Theodore, Alabama.  The service will begin at noon.  Pray for me as I prepare to preach that service.

It is not certain if we will do a meal for the family but, if we do, Cecil Guidry will be coordinating it.  Check back on the blog for an update once I hear something definite from Cecil.

Miss Edith Kelley suffered a heart attack last night.  It was not “major” in the sense that it did not cause her to change hospital rooms.  The medical folks were beginning the process today of placing her under hospice care.  Pray for Miss Edith, Bro. JB, Bro. Kerry, Danny and the entire Kelley family.

Tiffany Fox and Sherry Howell are on my list!  Folks, that is not a good place to be!  Mitchel Fox is in a local hospital and I was at that hospital this morning!  Did Tiff tell me yesterday at church?  No!

Sherry is making sure that I am the very last one to find out!  She knows that I am not a happy camper!

I saw Kevin Woods, Ronnie Glass, and Bill Goff in the respective hospitals today.  Bill was thinking that he may be discharged this afternoon but I do not know if that happened.

Blessings!

We enjoyed another blessed day in our services yesterday.  It has been awhile since I literally preached my voice away.  (I may let Lisa go to preaching!)  Thank you for your faithfulness and thank God for the decisions made at the altar.

Lord willing, my plans are to see Kevin Woods, Ronnie Glass, Bill Goff and Edith Kelley in the hospitals today.  I also hope to visit Dawn Baria at home and a couple of folks in the convalescent home.

Folks, Easter is here!  Can you believe it?  Our high school/college age students taking part in the summer GRACE trips will be selling boston butts and ribs that will be available on Saturday morning, 3/30.  All proceeds go to help them on their respective trips.  Please consider helping them while enjoying some good food.  Pastor Mike Rowell will be the lead chef with an assist from Jim Chinners.  You can call the church office to place an order.

The GRACE team being led by Bro. Jerry will be having a yard sale on 3/7 – 3/9 to help support the ministry side of their trip.  You can contact Bro. Jerry for the details or to make a donation.

It is a little after 3:00AM as I type this and the rain is steadily falling on this hill.  It looks as though we are going to have a very wet Monday.  Be safe in your travels.

I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
