MONDAY, 4/15/13
As I figured, our attendance took a hit yesterday in all of the services due to the rain. I have to accept that fact that it is apparently the “way it is” when it comes to folks and their church attendance. However, I am extremely grateful to the folks who were in attendance. Your commitment and faithfulness is deeply appreciated by me and duly recorded by God. We were blessed with good services and we give God the glory!
I am going to give a limited update on some folks for whom we have been praying and will attempt to be more detailed in tomorrow’s entry. Imogene Reviere, sister to Janice Smith and Juanita Gulley, has been diagnosed with stage four cancer and is in the hospital.
Miss Kathleen Henderson is in the hospital again. I will visit with her today to get an update as Joey is basically unreliable when it comes to sharing information!
Tom Thornton has a ten month old great niece, Charlotte Hampton, who has some serious health issues and is in the hospital.
Marisa told me yesterday morning that Carla is doing okay.
Jack & Kerrie told me yesterday morning that Kevin Woods is doing good and is now looking to be discharged from the hospital later this month.
Bro. Kerry told me that Miss Edith continues to show signs of decline. She is not eating properly. She remains at home.
Tom & Shari Compagner’s grandson, Louis James, was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon. That is good news!
This coming Sunday, 4/21, will see us host Kaitlin Mast to sing in all three of our worship services. Kaitlin presently lives in Nashville where she graduated from Belmont University. She will be moving back home to Michigan next week in order to attend Cornerstone seminary. She is gifted musically and I believe you will enjoy hearing her share through song. I wanted to get her here before she went North. She is the daughter of Kurt & Carla Mast. She is also single and looking! She has some of the nicest looking collar bones you will ever see!
My great nephew, Jace, celebrated his 5th birthday this past Saturday. Happy belated birthday to him! (His mom, Jamie, is mad b/c I did not call on Saturday so this is a peace offering!)
I have to give Soy his props as I arrived home to a mowed lawned and to a garden that is doing well. Actually, Soy replanted most of the garden while I was away and it came up nicely. Does that mean that from this point forward I will cut Soy some slack? Are you serious?
Believe it or not, I watched some (as in a little) of Yale’s victory in the NCAA hockey championship while also watching Nebraska beat Vandy in the NCAA women’s bowling championship. I also enjoyed watching the DVR of Adam Scott winning the Masters. Who said that I am not well rounded when it comes to sports!
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
