SATURDAY, 12/5/20
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
Nadine Holifield has been faithful to keep me updated on Jeff’s situation. The respiratory doctor has decided that Jeff needs to be in the hospital for five days due to his inability to breathe deeply and his cough. Keep praying for Jeff.
As far as I know, Tina Sprinkle’s dad is now in a rehab facility. Keep praying.
Donnie Felps continues to recover at home from his surgery. Pray for Donnie (and Marisa)!
Regular schedule on our campus tomorrow morning and evening. Bro. Abel will be preaching in all three services. Folks attending the 8:00AM service are asked to wear a face covering if they sit on the lower level. Those not wearing a face covering are asked to sit in the balcony.
I am asking that no one enter our Preschool Building tomorrow morning or evening unless they are a preschooler or a parent taking a preschooler to class or picking up a preschooler after class. Thank you in advance for understanding.
The 8:00AM and 6:00PM services will be live streamed. All three services will be available on the radio feed in our parking lot.
Yes, we do encourage “in person” attendance but only for those who feel comfortable doing so. If you are elderly or have underlying health issues then be careful.
Friendship family – think offering! Online giving is an option 24/7. I have used that option twice this week – once for our regular offering and once for our sponsorship of a student in Colegio JET.
We will NOT be doing the GA Post Office this year. It is requested that folks use the USPS for distributing their cards and that they not pass them out on our campus.
I “thought” I had mentioned the meal Mariam Moates brought to us while Lisa was down with the virus. Homemade chicken noodle soup, fresh baked ginger cookies and peaches. How nice was that? Thank you Mariam and please excuse my tardiness in thanking you.
I get asked daily, “how is Lisa doing?” Hello! Lisa no longer has the virus – I do! Where is the love? LOL! I am on day six and my problem is “hill fever!” I am most likely not contagious at this point but I am honoring the doctor’s orders which keep me on this hill until this Thursday, 12/10, at 3:00PM. I still have had zero symptoms and I am very, very thankful. God has blessed me! I know that!
I did receive a get well card yesterday that was addressed to “the best pastor in Grand Bay South of Highway 188!” I was feeling pretty good about that until I realized that I am the only pastor in Grand Bay South of Highway 188!
Lisa & Dana will leave today in order to get Lizzi, Sydney & Audrey from the Huntsville, AL airport tomorrow afternoon. The girls will stay at Dana’s until I get off restriction!
Not sure if I will post in the morning or not so let me go ahead and wish Lisa’s dad, Charles Clark, a happy eighty fifth birthday! I may go visit him tomorrow – LOL! Folks, Charles will outlive me!
Remember, on Monday of this week I called for Auburn to beat A&M today. Sticking with that prediction.
One more thing – it is 2:30AM. The temperature in Grand Bay is thirty nine degrees while is is thirty three degrees in Holland, MI. To my Yankee friends, enough with the “it gets so cold here” talk. Just saying!
I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
