“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
Once again, Edwina Perkins was sitting in a chair when I visited yesterday afternoon. She looked good and was in hopes of being moved to a regular room. I do not know if that happened. Bro. Jerry will visit her today.
Dollie Trout was discharged from the hospital yesterday shortly after noon. I called Bob and they had just gotten in the vehicle heading home.
Lisa and I visited with Coach Hubbard and his daughter, Maura Kay, yesterday afternoon. (Talk about Little Courtney – wow!) Courtney remains in the hospital but is hopeful of being discharged today.
Sarah Thornton is scheduled to have surgery in the morning around 7:00AM. Pray that all goes well.
Edd Gillespie continues to wait on a call from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Clinic. He is sitting on go!
I am hearing that the annual Christmas party for the residents in the local convalescent home went well last night. Thank you to each person who helped in any way.
We enjoyed a good day in our services yesterday morning and last night. Those who were with me in the auditorium are asked to remember their homework assignment!
Today is going to be a long day of traveling for me. Making a quick trip to Huntsville which will include time visiting with my Mama. Will drive back tonight in order to be present for Miss Sarah’s surgery in the morning. Pray for traveling mercies. (Dr. Rex, the Beasley boys had better be good or I am going to be one upset pastor!).
My cousin, Tony Gettig, will fly in tomorrow night. He will be doing the narration for our choir musical on Sunday night. He is a professional.
One quick side note about Tony – he and his brother, Josh, own a coffee roasting company. He has excellent coffee. If you are a coffee addict and want to purchase some unique coffee then let me know via e-mail by noon tomorrow. You can go to vanburencoffee.com to see what coffees they are presently offering. The price is twelve dollars per twelve ounce bag. Need a “special” Christmas gift for that coffee drinker in your life?
Lisa and Dana both got their flu shot from Ross Hatcher yesterday. Dana said it hurt “bad” and Lisa says she never felt it. I am thinking that Dana wearing that “Roll Tide” shirt perhaps added to her pain! Need a flu shot? Why not visit Ross at Grand Bay Pharmacy? Ross is a great guy! Great pharmacist too!
Regular schedule this Sunday morning and the following Sunday morning, 12/24.
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
