We will not have a Christmas Eve service this year simply due to the fact that we always basically have a packed house for that service.  Please note this major change.  I am very disappointed but trying to do what is best for all involved.

Today is a big day for me as I will be once again tested for the virus.  I am praying for a negative result.  Will you join me in that prayer?

Lisa asked that I express her sincere appreciation for each call, text, iMessage, email, et cetera that came to her last week.  Also, for the food and drinks that were front porch delivered to our house.  She is grateful and so am I.  We are blessed.

The weather forecasters are calling for a high of fifty two degrees and a low of twenty nine degrees in South Mobile County today/tonight.  That will be followed by a high of fifty six degrees and a low of thirty two degrees tomorrow.  That is bone chilling cold!  And the folks in Michigan think they have the market on cold weather!

You heard it here first – Auburn will beat A&M this Saturday.  They will finish the regular season at seven wins and three losses.  Just FYI.

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