This entry is being written from the waiting room in the UAB hospital.  They took Earl Kirschenman from his hospital room around 5:45AM.  His surgery is scheduled to begin at 7:00AM.  It is expected to be a lengthy procedure.  Earl has problems with his heart but his surgery is for an aneurysm near his kidney.  Too complicated for me to explain but suffice it to say that it is a very serious surgery.  Pray for Earl!

Remember, we are NOT having our 10:00AM service today.  We are on a regular schedule for tonight’s service, classes, et cetera.

Copies of the proposed budget for our next fiscal year (August 1, 2014 – July 31, 2015) will be available in tonight’s service.  Finance committee chairman, TJ Vice, will have those along with the latest financial statement and some information on the missions division of the budget.

I am hearing that the GO camp is going well.  I did not get any updates from Bro. Jerry’s team in Guatemala.  That may be because of no internet connection?  I do not know their plans for today.  Pray for them to have a good last day of ministry.

Lisa and I were able to meet Eddie & Sue and my younger brother, Freddie, for supper last night in Fultondale.  Yes, I got stuck with the bill again – thankfully Lisa still has Charles’ credit card!  Eddie & Sue leave this Sunday heading back to China so it was good to spend some more time with them.

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