Today’s Bible reading – Psalms 121; 123-125; 128-130
Miss Maxine Dupont will have surgery first thing this morning. As I stated yesterday, I plan on being there with her and the family either until the surgery is complete or I have to leave in order to make it to our morning service. Pray that all goes well.
Tommy Johnson’s mother was doing better when I visited with her yesterday. I suspect she will be in the hospital for a few days.
Courtney Cavin’s dad, Calvin Crist, is in the hospital. He was in but was discharged on Monday before being readmitted yesterday. Calvin’s father is a former pastor of Friendship. He has since entered Heaven but Mrs. Crist is still living. The doctors are seemingly stumped as to what is causing Calvin’s problems. He and I go way back as we used to play ball against one another. I think my punishment for beating him so often is that I now have to be Courtney’s pastor – just saying! LOL!
Brittney & Ian are doing fine. Brittney is bouncing off the walls to be discharged. That will happen this morning.
Regular schedule this morning and evening. Lord willing, I will be preaching/teaching at 10:00AM, 6:30PM and then again at 7:30PM. All classes, Bible studies, choir practices, et cetera as normal.
I am pretty upset about tonight’s menu for the 7:30PM Bible study. I had posted last week that the menu would be sloppy joes. I had actually bought everything except the buns before I left for Guatemala. Somehow, Rusty convinced Lisa to have hot dogs instead! What is up with that? So, tonight’s menu is sloppy joes for everyone except Rusty! Amazing!
Unbelievable! It happened again! I was in Guatemala on Monday night, 4/11. Obviously, I was not at our prayer time but I did leave the instrumental compact disc by Diane Enriquez. That cd has just vanished! No one knows a thing about it! This has become one of life’s great mysteries! We had a nice group at our prayer time this past Monday night, 4/18, and I am sure they noticed a different instrumental compact disc was being used. I am considering hiring Tony T as security for the nights I am not at the prayer time – LOL!
It appears that everything I planted in the garden Saturday before last has come up. I checked it this past Saturday and nothing had come up. Checked it on Monday afternoon and it was looking good. Have not checked it since then but will work it this weekend. I do not think there are going to be any skips. Could be wrong. I still have to plant more corn and also some plants. No need to plant tomatoes as John Milton has 120 plants and about 100 pepper plants. He is not at home during the day – just saying!
FYI – I have scheduled seven vacation days in May over two weeks. Family time. One trip is a total surprise (location wise) to Dana & Gina. Will not miss any Sundays. Our June, July and August are full so it is now or never!
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
