Today’s Bible reading – Zechariah 2:1-3:10 Revelation 13:1-13:18 Psalm 141:1-10 Proverbs 30:18-20
Learned from my niece, Jamie, that Pastor Alvin Tucker (Bro. Johnny’s father) is scheduled to have one of his big toes amputated today. He is presently in a hospital in Mississippi. Bro. Alvin is well into his 90’s but I cannot recall his exact age. Pray for him.
Brian Amonett remains in the hospital. This has been a really long stay for him but he is making progress. Just not enough to get moved to a rehab facility.
Edna told me yesterday that Cynthia Cumbie has been placed under hospice care. I plan to talk to Caroline today.
Speaking of hospice care, Claire Bell’s maternal grandfather is also under hospice care.
Lisa and I had the privilege of visiting with Eddie Whitmore yesterday afternoon. He is basically confined to the house but they are giving him a break from treatments, shots, visits to the doctor, et cetera until 2016. He is slowly gaining some strength. Keep praying for Eddie and each person battling cancer.
No services/classes/Bible studies tomorrow, 12/23, or the following Wednesday, 12/30.
The weather forecast as far as rain is concerned does not look good for Christmas Eve. One local station is calling for a sixty percent chance of rain while one national center is calling for a one hundred percent chance. I think it is safe to say that it will be raining! However, we will be inside so it will be dry! Do not let the rain keep you away. By the way, please keep the carport area on the East side of the auditorium free of parked vehicles as that will be a drop off/pick up spot in the event of rain. The service begins at 5:00 and will end by 6:00PM. It is going to be great!
Nanette strikes again! We had our Sunday School Christmas gathering last Friday evening. It was a great time of fellowship and food. As it was winding down, Korie Fontenot approached me and said something like this, “mama wants her gift from you.” I just looked at her like a calf looking a newly locked gate. She then got tears in her eyes and said “mama is going to be really mad at me if I do not come home with a gift to her from you!” Wow! So, I sent a throw that was really supposed to be Charles’ gift but he will never know as you cannot miss what you never had! (Now folks, please understand that sometimes my memory is not the greatest in the world so this account may not be exactly true! Feel free to ask Nanette for her version!)
I do not watch beauty pageants. Lisa told me yesterday about the mistake that was apparently made by the emcee at the Miss Universe pageant on Sunday night. All I know is that the dude had best be glad the same mistake did not happen at a beauty contest for five year olds in South Mobile County or he may not have gotten out uninjured! Can you imagine?
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus. Stay dry!
