“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10
Today’s Bible reading – Numbers 23-25; Mark 7:14-37
My favorite sister-in-law on Lisa’s side of the family is celebrating her birthday today! Translated, Kim is now older than me! I hope she has a great day! (Do not worry Sue as you are still in my top two favorites on my side of the family. Just saying!)
Kayla Hatcher has moved way up on my list (actually she was already there) as she surprised me on Tuesday with a Hope’s cheesecake. Are you serious? In my opinion, Hope’s has the best cheesecake on the Gulf Coast and one of the best you will ever eat. They are proud of them based on the price but they are so good!
We survived the “school is out” Wednesday. Yes, our attendance was down some (only basing that on the adults in the auditorium) but it could have been worse. We were down a bit in our morning service which surprised me as none of those folks are affected by the closing of the schools? However, my focus is on appreciation for those who were in attendance – thank you!
Warren Guidry did have surgery yesterday morning and he did well. It was not a long procedure and it was outpatient. I am glad he did well. However, I am “ticked” at his wife, Cecil, as she did not let me know he was having surgery. It was scheduled for 3/15 which is what I had on my calendar! Actually, she was being kind as she knew we had the girls, it was a Wednesday morning, et cetera. Still have not decided if I am going to give her a pass on this one or not!
Linda Green is a wonderful person! She is constantly helping others. She is a model of faithfulness. She transported Miss Willie Roberts to Mobile yesterday and while they were in a restaurant Miss Wille took a fall which in turn caused Linda to fall as well. Linda injured her back and will need to see a specialist while Miss Wille was admitted to the hospital mainly for observation.
Jimmy Tagert’s mother remains in the hospital. I will be checking on her this morning as she and Miss Willie are in the same hospital.
Visited folks in the convalescent home yesterday. A couple of the folks were asleep but the ones who were awake seemed to be doing well.
Soy & Deidra will finish up on GRACE Mountain today and move to the city tonight as Friday morning traffic in the city is crazy! It is like being on Potter Tract Road on a Friday afternoon! Anyway, they are scheduled to fly home tomorrow morning. They met Sulmi and her family last night. Who is Sulmi? You would have to have been on our February trip to really know. Long story.
I stopped by Sam’s Super Burger yesterday to place a to go order that I would come back and get later. Saw Andy & Betty Hamil as they were on a date. They had me bring their food to their table. I can tell you this – they do not tip! When I returned later to get my order the three Wells girls were there. They too had been in the morning service. What is point of this story? Glad you asked!
Sam’s is not exactly a haven for those trying to “eat right” unless you know the secret. They have a grilled fish dinner that, in my opinion, is really good. Two big fish filets, two sides, and a piece of bread. It will cost you around nine dollars but it is more than enough to fill me up! Like fish? Like healthy eating? Then you should give it a try. I appreciate the owners, Phillip & Natalie, for not being open on Sundays. So, you now have my restaurant review for the day!
One day, five hours, twenty minutes and fifty six seconds but who is counting!
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
