“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11)

Did you hear the shout around 1:00PM yesterday?  That was me when the rains began to fall on this hill.  I thought it would be a quick shower but we got rain until around 7:30PM.  Thank you Lord!

Visited with Wanda Jordan in the hospital yesterday morning.  She was doing better and was discharged yesterday afternoon.

Visited Brooke Whitehurst in the hospital too.  She thought she was going to be discharged but that did not happen.  Maybe today.

Rene & Bethany (nee Hatcher) Alcantara welcomed a son into this world yesterday.  I do not know any of the details as the hospital told me Bethany was not a patient.  I may have gotten there before them.  Pray for Bethany and the baby.

Visitation with the Suthoff family tomorrow morning beginning at 10:00AM until the noon service time.  Pray for the family.

Bryant hosts Theodore tonight; Faith hosts Citronelle; UMS travels to Clark County; Mobile Christian travels to Thomasville; Resurrection travels to Mt. Olive.  The Citronelle vs FA game has the potential to be the best of the bunch tonight.

The Braves can clinch the NL East with a win tonight.  Bobby & the boys continue to lead the Wild Card chase.  The Cubs have a rough home stretch because of the Cards.  The Indians have tied the Rays for the second AL Wild Card spot.  Going to be an interesting finish in both leagues.

Regular schedule on our campus this Sunday morning and evening.  Lindsey Vice and Bro. Abel will host a meeting in the auditorium at 5:00PM concerning our Trail of Truth.  AWANA ministry at 5:00PM.

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