THURSDAY, 7/5/18

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

This entry is late.  Again, no excuses.  It seems that I am getting more like Deidra daily when it comes to blogging – Lord help me Jesus!

The church office will be open today with a skeleton crew – me!  What?  Who made that call?  Me, with the blessings of the Personnel Committee.  Lord willing, I will be in the office from 8:00AM until 4:30PM with one exception.  I will be attending a graveside service in Mobile beginning at 1:00PM so it will probably be 2:00PM before I return from the lunch hour.  So, if you need something from the office I will be there.  However, when I give you that “deer in the headlights look” please do not laugh! LOL!

The graveside service for Kerrie Lastorka’s paternal Aunt takes place at the Springhill Memorial Gardens cemetery today at 1:00PM.  Where is that, you ask?  Basically sets across from Baker High School.  The only reason I know is because I have had services there in past years.

Really have no updates today so let’s go with the “no news is good news” philosophy.

Today marks my brother-in-law’s fiftieth birthday (7/5/68 – 7/5/18) which is unbelievable!  Michael Clark passed from this life on September 2, 1986 at the young age of eighteen.  He is Charles & Ann’s only son.  So many memories.  So many “what ifs” too.  I only knew Michael for about seven and one half years but he had a profound impact on my life.  He did not live a long life on this earth but I do believe he lived a full life.  Today, he lives but now in a much better place.  Folks, death stings even after almost thirty two years.

Bobby & the boys are struggling big time having now lost five in a row.  They were swept by the Red Sox and then called for a players only meeting.  I am in hopes they can turn this thing around quickly.  By the way, Jerry & Gloria Whitmore were at the Nationals game yesterday.  Their seats were not too far away from the third base coaching box and they sent me a picture of Bobby.  (I am assuming Gloria was there but I know Jerry was)

The tally after the three game series in New York:  Bobby Gene – 2; Leslie Hacker – 1.  Bob wins!  Bob wins!  Bob wins!

The Dodgers have moved to within one half of a game of the first place Diamondbacks in the NL West.  Let’s go Dodgers!

Someone wrote yesterday and said, “it is a beautiful day.  Enjoy this weather with your family!”  I did.  We all got the same sun – the family out by the pool while I was on the back side of a weed eater most of the day followed by being on the mower.  Same sun!  Disclaimer – I would rather work in the yard than to be in the pool.

Gina Bug arrived safely in Guatemala last night.  Thanks to Ryan for taking her to PNS and to Soy & Zach for getting her from the airport in Guatemala City.

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