Pastor's Blog

Regular schedule on our campus today – morning and evening.  Pray for Bro. Jerry as he preaches in my absence.  Attend the services, please.  The 8:00AM service will be live streamed with no password needed.

Word came to me this morning that Jamie Coffman’s mother passed away yesterday.  She lived in the northern part of Alabama.  Pray for Jamie and family during this time.

I also learned this morning that Pastor Roy Crouch’s grandfather has passed from this life.  Roy was raised by his grandparents so this is extra tough on him.  Pray for Pastor Roy and his family.

Ben Thomas has written a nice article about a varsity basketball player at UMS.  You can find it on al.com.  Ben writes good stuff!

Well, it was a most different Saturday on GRACE Mountain.  The day began with a morning devotion time which lasted almost an hour.  Small number (obviously) but a really good time in the Word.

It was raining a little bit before sunrise yesterday.  Not a problem as this is dry season and we would not be affected by the wet stuff even though we were going to build houses.  Wrong!  It basically was cold, windy and wet all day.  As a matter of fact, the rain got hard enough around 3:00PM that we called it a day.  Four houses were built to the point of being ready to receive the concrete.

Side note – Grandma Cristina was on Soy’s team.  There was an older lady there who did not have any teeth.  So, being the giver she is, grandma took her teeth out and offered them to the lady.  Dr. John had to explain to Cristina that it simply does not work that say.  Bless her!

The Sergeant told me as I was leaving yesterday morning that she would be inviting some folks to join us for supper (she calls it dinner which is so Scripturally wrong).  When 7:00PM rolled around there were around forty (40) guests who joined our team of four!  A great time was had by all!

After supper, Dr. John performed surgery in the downstairs living area of the mission house.  He surgically removed a thumbnail from one of our teachers at Colegio JET.  She squirmed during the four deadening shots but all is well that ends well.

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