“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:12-15 (NASB)

Miss Dollie Trout is scheduled to have a heart cath this morning.  Pray that all goes well and the doctors get a clear view of her heart.

Keep praying for Myrtle Bowden as she continues to take her chemotherapy treatments.

Work is being done on the back forty of our campus to get ready for the Spring soccer season.  I am not a fan of soccer (let me pause so that can sink in as I know you were shocked by that statement) but I am genuinely excited for our leagues to be playing on our campus.  It is going to get bigger and better as Bro. Abel knows soccer and how to run a league.  However, the greatest thing is that Bro. Abel knows the real reason we are hosting these leagues – sharing Jesus!

Today should be a really nice day weather wise but then the rain moves back in tonight and tomorrow.  Thursday looks to be dry and then there is a fifty percent chance of rain on Friday.  The forecast calls for a beautiful day on Sunday.

NBA fans are calling for the league to replace the image of Jerry West to the image on Kobe Bryant on the league’s logo.  Jerry West is my basketball hero.  I loved to watch Kobe Bryant play as well.  I am a Lakers fan.  I am probably good with either way as both men were Lakers only in their professional careers.

There is a proverbial fly in the ointment in this case – the NBA will not acknowledge that the logo is Jerry West even though the guy who designed it said he traced a picture of West to come up with the logo.  Why?  The NBA does not have to pay royalties if it is just a general player.  So, if they switch to Kobe Bryant then they could have to pay royalties to his family or estate.  Interesting. (What other pastor gives you that type of information in his blog?  Just saying!)

I will be in high gear today trying to nail every thing down before flying out tomorrow.  Much to do.  Pray for me to use wisdom in managing my time.

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