SATURDAY, 9/14/19
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11)
Our work day begins at 8:00AM today. I now know that at least one of our deacons is going to be present as he shared that information with me last night. Will he be working or drinking coffee? Time will tell. With the right numbers present, we can be gone fairly quickly and leave the place looking good. We need hedge trimmers, ladders, rakes, et cetera. “All hands on deck!” We will have water but no food! Just FYI.
Regular schedule on our campus tomorrow morning and evening. Lord willing, I will be in the pulpit for all three services. It will be “crazy sock night” for our AWANA ministry tomorrow. Obviously, the children are encouraged to wear crazy socks to AWANA.
South hosts Memphis today beginning at 2:30PM, Alabama travels to South Carolina with a 2:30PM start time, and Auburn hosts Kent State with a 6:00PM start time. I am going to say that two of those three state teams will win. It would be nice if all three could do so. That is why they play the game!
Coach Collier and the Bobcats handled the Pirates last night to remain undefeated for the season. The Faith Academy Rams bested the Mobile Christian Leopards as the Lacy kid ran wild all night (300 yards rushing, 32 points). Resurrection High won big last night. Bryant lost to Foley. (It is interesting to note that Bryant has never beaten Foley)
I am sure it has happened but I have never been to a high school game where one of the head coaches leads in the opening prayer until last night. Coach Jack French of Faith Academy did the honors before the FA vs MC game. Not only did he do the honors but he also prayed a very strong prayer. Way to go, Coach French. Way to go Mobile Christian for asking the opposing coach to pray.
Deacon Grant Tillman and his family sat by me during last night’s game. I was good with that until he asked me to “spot” him a twenty. Are you kidding me? Do I look like an ATM? However, Katie is such a sweetheart that I simply overlook her husband. (So glad she is not like her mother!)
One more thing about last night’s game – Hannah was the star of the MC band! Not even close!
My high school football travels will take me to Bryant next Friday night as Coach Collier and his Bobcats head into the eye of the storm as they will face the Hurricanes.
Bobby and the boys lost to the Braves last night. I need the Nationals to win the next two to help the Dodgers maintain the best record in the NL as home field advantage could be huge in the postseason.
Leslie Hacker finally got Bob Evans moved in to his apartment. I “think” last night was Bob’s first night there. In my opinion, Leslie should let Bob stay with him for the first month or so just to get acclimated to living there as moving to the bayou can be an experience like no other. (Dana Taylor & Bibbi Bosarge – get the man some white boots!)
The Simply Southern seafood restaurant is scheduled to open in the former Sam’s Superburger building on Monday, October 7. I am going to go ahead now and encourage you to support this business. More to come in the way of an endorsement if. . . (waiting on some type of compensation agreement!)
I had some good therapy time yesterday as I spent like four hours on the mower. Have about another hour today and I will be finished. Lisa went out of town yesterday but she left strict orders!
I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
