SATURDAY, 10/28/17

“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 – Jeremiah 15 – 17; II Timothy 2

Good Saturday morning from the Grand Rapids airport.  Lisa and I have had a full two days but they have been blessed days.

Dr. Derek Draft graciously saw both of us on Thursday to do some dental work.  Lisa’s work was seamless.  Dr. Derek was simply going to replace a filling for me and somehow he transformed that into a root canal!  I am still not sure how that happened but I am very grateful to Dr. Derek for his many acts of kindness to Lisa and me.  What a blessing!

The annual pig roast for GRACE Ministries was very good.  It seemed there were a “million” other things taking place in Southwest Michigan on Thursday night so our attendance was down to a little over one hundred.  However, there was a most excellent spirit in the meeting.  Pastor Joe David Bailey did an excellent job of bringing a challenge.  The guys spearheading the construction of the medical clinic did a nice job of sharing the continued vision.

Tom & Shari Compagner once again provided so much of the food.  Tom roasted the pig.  Tom & Shari, Gary & Jill Ellens, Nicole Linderman, Kathy Genzink, Pastor Joe & Lori all had a part in either the preparation of the food, the decorations, setting up tables and chairs, et cetera.  A number of folks helped with the cleaning up afterwards.  Ross Genzink did absolutely nothing in the way of help – just saying!

Yesterday, Lisa and I drove down to Paw Paw, Michigan to visit family.  We had a delightful time at breakfast and then toured The Shop which is a coffee roasting/retail shop owned by my cousins Tony & Kathy Gettig and Josh & Courtney Gettig.  I expect those guys will be millionaires real soon!

We had lunch with eleven other folks, Lisa shopped in downtown Holland (she loves downtown Holland), we met with Doctors Mark & Karen Stid and then enjoyed a wonderful steak dinner at Tom & Shari’s.  Ryan & Rochelle Genzink and their triplets joined us for supper last night.  I am happy to report that Rochelle did not take even one “smoke” break during the evening – the girl is making improvement!

Pastor Bob Harvey was able to fly in on Thursday and is now flying out on the same flight as Lisa and me.  It is always good to see Pastor Bob and I appreciate his involvement in GRACE Ministries.

Regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening as far as the times are concerned.  Of course our evening schedule will feature our “Hallelujah Festival” in the CAB.  Pray for our services!

I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
