“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11)
Good morning from the New Orleans airport. Gina & I left the house at 2:00AM and arrived here at 4:00AM. We are now sitting at the gate waiting on our 6:30AM flight. We will meet Soy in Denver, Lord willing.
Bro. Benny McGath called me yesterday afternoon to share that his father has passed from this life. It appears that he suffered a heart attack. Bro. Benny’s dad was a pastor for many years. Pray for Bro. Benny and family as they walk through this valley. Obviously, arrangements pending.
Bro. Jerry Hovel missed last Wednesday night’s service and all of the services yesterday due to sickness. Tena said he is going to try and be in the office today. Pray that he fully recovers.
Deacon Jeff Holifield will be leading both of our services this Wednesday, 3/20. I asked him to do this since Bro. Jerry has been sick and he could still be sidelined Wednesday.
We were blessed with a good day in our services yesterday. It was a blessing indeed to see another public profession of faith in our 10:30AM service. God gives the increase and we give Him the glory.
Our first week of our “exercise” leagues went well. Amy made a good call in delaying the games due to the weather. Lots of people attended the games in spite of the wet and cool weather.
Gina is on Spring break this week. A couple of weeks ago I decided to treat her to a snow skiing trip as she loves to ski. Dana is on Spring break next week and she will be joining Lisa in going to visit Deidra and the girls in Guatemala. So, Gina and I are going to spend this week together and somehow Soy managed to get included. Oh well, it is what it is!
Alabama did not make the tourney field. Are you kidding me? Had they been invited then it is possible they would have won it all. Bama fatigue strikes again! I am going with Duke to win it all simply because of Zion. The dude is an incredible basketball player and he has a good supporting cast.
Congratulations to Auburn for winning the SEC tourney yesterday. They basically destroyed Tennessee in that game. The SEC has seven teams in the tourney which ties the ACC and trails only the Big 10 as they had eight teams invited. By the way, the Michigan vs Michigan State game was a good one yesterday.
Our deacons stand ready and willing to minister in my absence so do not hesitate to call them, if needed.
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
