THURSDAY, 6/7/18

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Good morning from London!  (It is almost 1:00AM here on Thursday morning, 6/7)  Lisa, Eddie, Sue and I left Spain late yesterday afternoon and arrived back in a London hotel between 10:30 & 11:00PM.  We have been keeping a whirlwind pace ever since we got to Europe!

Here is the obit for Jimmy Moates:

“James Henry Moates, age 75, a resident of Grand Bay, Alabama, born on September 14, 1942 in Mobile, Alabama, departed this life Tuesday, June 5, 2018. He is preceded in death by his parents, James and Ila Moates, a sister, Louise Akridge, and a grandson, Michael Levi Westbrook. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Mariam Moates, three daughters, Lisa (Brian) Bellknap, Teresa (John) Ladnier, Melinda (Jason) Westbrook, two sisters, Norma (James) Rogers, Susan (Charles) White, eight grandchildren, and ten great grandchildren.

James received Jesus as his Lord and Saviour at the age of 12 years old. He had a great respect for the Lord and his word. James had great love for his wife, three daughters, and two generations of grandchildren, and he took joy in caring for them throughout their lives.

James accomplished many notable things throughout his professional career. He took great joy and satisfaction in his work. He was a heavy equipment operator and worked in the state of Alabama on numerous projects, including placing the steeple at Dauphin Way Baptist Church, had an intrical role in the construction of Hank Aaron Stadium, Providence Hospital’s lake and waterfall, and renovating Ladd Peebles stadium. James was loved by his family, friends, and all who knew him.”

The visitation with the Moates family will take place today, Thursday, June 7, from 1:00PM until the 2:00PM service time.  Visitation and service will take place at Friendship Baptist Church.  Interment will be in the Serenity Memorial Gardens in Theodore.

If you are helping with the feeding of the Moates family following the service today then please have your food in the fellowship hall no later than 2:00PM.

Jennifer Brinkman e-mailed me to say that their son, Bryce, was suffered second degree burns over five percent of his body last night.  Been a tough few hours for him and his parents.  Pray for them!

My dad did well through his rough chemo treatment Tuesday.  He received another one yesterday and gets yet another today if I understand correctly.  Thank you for praying.

As we traveled to Spain to visit with Mario, Amuy and family I had said repeatedly they were one of the best couples I have ever known.  I left Spain feeling that way plus more!  Their faithfulness and commitment to the call of God on their lives is amazing!  I will probably share more from the pulpit.

We are now going into “tourist” mode for the next two days.  Should be fun!  May stop by and visit the Queen!

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