SATURDAY, 1/30/16
Today’s Bible reading: Exodus 1-3
Can someone help me? I think I missed the month of January! Surely it cannot be January 30th already? Wow!
The visitation with the Albert West family takes place today from noon until the 2:00PM service time. Everything takes place at Serenity Funeral Home and Gardens. If you are helping with the food for this family, please take it and leave it in the fellowship hall. Again, a special “thank you” to each person who is helping with this ministry.
Upward basketball today from 8:00AM until 4:00PM. The folks overseeing this ministry have done a nice job.
The “I am flexible” award for this week goes to Bro. Benny McGath. A couple of Upward teams planned a party in the fellowship hall for this morning not knowing that Bro. Benny had plans to meet with the bus workers and others for a time of prayer in that building. When Bro. Benny learned of the party yesterday he simply said, “we can find somewhere else to meet” and showed such a great attitude in doing so. I truly appreciate Bro. Benny’s kind spirit in this matter! Reminds me of our Bible verse for the year! (I would like to know which “dummy” planned the Upward party in the first place!)
The “I can fix that” award for this week goes to Martin Brinkman. There was a major grease clog in the CAB kitchen sink. Martin had some of his boys at practice last night and, upon learning of the problem, simply went in and fixed it. I appreciate his willingness to handle this problem on the spot. (Soy says that “he and Martin” fixed the problem – right! Just because you are setting up the scoreboard when the problem gets fixed does not qualify you for having fixed the problem!)
Super Bowl Fifty takes place next Sunday, 2/7. Read this morning where tickets in the upper deck at going for $3,000 and those in the lower deck at available for a mere $15,000. Are you kidding me? We are talking Larry Whitehurst money! Wow!
Hope your Saturday is great with Jesus! Full day for me with Upward game, Upward party, Upward officiating and the West funeral service. It is all good!
