Today’s Bible reading – Judges 7-8; Luke 5:1-16
I knew that something had changed in Greg Boutwell’s condition as I walked up to his hospital yesterday morning. All of that contact isolation stuff was hanging from his door. He had just been told that he now has a staph infection in one of his legs. He was pretty disappointed and I do not blame him. Where did this staph come from? Pray for Greg!
Ruby Gulley is in SICU. She is on a ventilator and did not appear too happy whenever I visited with her yesterday. I think she is mainly in the unit in order for the medical staff to monitor her very closely.
Sharon Jardee is scheduled to have surgery late tomorrow morning. They removed her knee some months ago and the plan is to put one back in place.
Kendall Falana had a niece to pass from this life in an automobile accident this past Sunday morning. I do not know the arrangements but do ask you to pray for the Falana family as they go through this most difficult time.
Pastor Alvin Tucker passed from this life last Friday, 3/24. The visitation and service will take place this Friday, 3/31, in Silas, Alabama. Of course, this is Bro. Johnny’s father. Bro. Alvin was ninety four years old. He gave me my very first opportunity to preach after I made my call to the ministry public. That was on Saturday evening, August 9, 1975. Even gave me an honorarium. (How did I do? You heard me preach lately?)
Regular schedule this morning and evening. Friendship family, let’s be found faithful. The fare for the 7:30PM Bible study is poppy seed chicken with all of the trimmings. It will be awesome!
We had a night of TNBA last night. Good time of fellowship. I know you will find this difficult to believe but I did not play on the winning team a single time. Got stuck with Bradley Phillips on my team and I simply could not carry him! Lord willing, we will have SNBA this Sunday following our evening service.
Soy is enlarging my chicken coop. He is doing a really good job. (He should be as he has been working on it for about six weeks now). As soon as it is finished, I am going to enlarge the flock. May retire and become a full time chicken farmer! (Not really!)
Work day this Saturday, 4/1, beginning at 7:00AM. Need a tractor and box blade. Anyone have one and willing to come use it? Contact me.
I need an IT guy. Having no success in getting a volunteer.
I am thinking the West house will be razed this week.
Tico Vargas has an important meeting in Guatemala City for GRACE Ministries today. Pray for that meeting to go well.
Deacons meet with me this Sunday, 4/2, at 4:00PM. Missions committee will then meet with me at 5:00PM. Brothers/sisters, please note those meetings!
I am going with Gonzaga (for Nanette) and UNC to win this Saturday and then UNC to win it all next Monday night.
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
