TUESDAY, 8/9/22
First thing this morning – very grateful to the folks who graciously contacted me yesterday thanking me for the blog entry. So very sweet words were shared. I do not see the blog very important but others seemingly do. So, “thank you” to those who read it even the ones like Katie Tillman who read it like once every two weeks to “catch up!” Just saying!
Received an update from Bro. Jerry Hovel yesterday morning. All is well. Here is what he wrote – “Folks can follow us at my Facebook sight Jerald Lee Hovel or NSBC building project. Both will have pictures.”
The Lord knows what we need when we need it and He sends a time of refreshing at the exact moment it is needed. Someone contacted me last night and was that exact breath of “fresh air” that I needed. Who? What? Does not matter as God knows and I hope that person knows how refreshing that was to me.
A professional athlete recently said, “All I can do is control what I can control” and he is so right. I learned years ago that I cannot control what other people say, think or do so there is no need to worry about it. That same athlete’s five year old son was quoted as saying, “Every time I’m with my dad I love it because he gives me picks and makes me really happy. … I love the whole world, I love God and Jesus and I love my family.” What an awesome quote!
Pray for those folks mentioned in yesterday’s blog. Sonny & Jeanette Bates will travel to New Orleans tomorrow to meet with Sonny’s doctor. Pray that all will go well.
Spoke to Sandra McElwee yesterday and the plans call for a memorial service for Mark to take place on Friday, 8/19, on Lookout Mountain in Gadsden, Alabama. David and Sandra are entrusting me to preach that celebration of life service which I count as an honor. Keep praying for David & Sandra.
Spoke to my brother last night and our Mama had a good day yesterday. She finally listened to the staff where she is living and had no issues.
I am a bit crazy (no comments) but I so enjoyed the rain yesterday. Even went out in a light drizzle to meet with William Sessions regarding a spot for a community garden. By the way, William wants to have a brief meeting regarding the garden immediately following the 10:30AM service on Sunday, August 21. Interested? Need more information? Contact William.
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
