TUESDAY, 5/21/13

I have often said that, if a choice could be made, I would rather deal with a hurricane as opposed to a tornado.  You have enough advance notice to run from a hurricane.  The tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, proves how little time folks have between the actual warning and the tornado touching down.  Yesterday’s time – sixteen minutes from the actual warning to devastation.  We certainly want to pray for the families of those fifty-one folks who were killed and the other forty or so who remain missing at the time of this post (3:00AM).

Visited Craig Kirschenman, Barbara Nevin and Tanya Love in the hospitals yesterday.  No significant changes.

Tim Knighten’s step-mother, Marilyn, has taken a turn for the worse.  She is septic.  She needs our immediate prayer support.

Brenda Timberlake’s sister, Lisa, continues to get not so good news from her doctor regarding her malignancy.

The funeral arrangements for Amy Walker’s uncle are as follows:  visitation today from 2:00PM until the service time at Gilmer’s Funeral Home in Mobile.

The funeral arrangements for Donald Loyd are as follows:  visitation today from noon until the 2:00PM service at Serenity Funeral Home in Theodore.

I will be preaching the service for Donal Loyd so I will ask Bro. Kerry to cover the service for Amy’s uncle.  Bro. Jerry & Bro. Chris will hold down the fort in our absence.

The Friendship family is feeding both families.  If you do not know the details, please call the church office first thing (8:00AM) this morning and speak to Miss Edna.

Two important happenings in June – parent/child dedication on June 2 during the 10:30AM service and the recognition of all couples from the Friendship family married for fifty years or more on June 9 during the 10:30AM service.  (This will include all widows/widowers who were married that long before their spouse passed)

We may have something special this Sunday, 5/26, and then on the last Sunday in June.  Details to come.

We have now added our ninth reader of the blog – Holly Isom.  She is a member of the Olive Baptist Church in Pensacola, FL and works in Mobile.  She is going with us on a GRACE Ministries trip this Summer.  Wow, almost double figures!  Is that amazing or what!

I have a very considerate family (immediate and extended) as they allowed me to have my quiet time in the garden from 5:45AM until 7:30AM and then again from 5:30PM until 7:30PM yesterday.  Then, last night, they graciously allowed me to snap all of the beans I had picked yesterday afternoon.  Is that nice of them or what?  Thankfully, my sweet mother-in-law will can them as that is something I have never done.

My corn looks pitiful but it is setting some ears.  The okra has apparently been saved thanks to the tip from Merwyn last year.  John Milton has been snooping around again so I may have to get out the shotgun!

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