“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10

Today’s Bible reading – Psalms 119:1-88; 1 Corinthians 7:20-40

Robert Baria was awake and alert when I visited him yesterday morning.  He is mouthing words and I have really hard time understanding what he is trying to tell me.  It frustrates him and me.  Keep praying for Robert’s complete recovery.

Visited with Linda Johnson and Charles Faucette.  They were both in the process of being discharged and were happy campers.

Tina Wilkinson was some better.  Not sure when she will be discharged but I can see them keeping her through the weekend.  Her concern is missing church again – wow!

Bobby Morrison was a bit anxious over the fact that he is not getting better quickly.  However, he is willing to stay in the hospital until they get his infection under control and/or completely eradicate it.

Bryan Creps was doing better in his recovery yesterday afternoon.  Translated – they feel his blood flow in the surgically repaired area was better than it was yesterday morning.

I was able to make other visits yesterday and even got to stop by and see one of our fourteen blog readers.  Fourteen?  Why have you not told us the number has risen to fourteen?  Because I do not want to sound like I am bragging!  (Bloggers like Pastor Jack Bailey and Deidra would do anything to have fourteen readers of their respective blogs so I do not like to rub it in)

Service at the Mission of Hope tonight at 7:00PM.  Bus leaves church at 6:15PM.  Everyone invited.

Work day in the morning beginning at 7:00AM.  Biscuits will be available.  All hands on deck.

The best laid plans of rats and people!  I had “plans” to attend the Mobile Christian football game last night.  Left the office at 5:00PM, came home and went to change clothes.  Enter Miss Lisa.  She said, “where are you going?”  I told her.  Then she went all Lee Corso on me – “not so fast my friend!”  I received a lecture on “Harvey” and how our grass needed to be cut before it makes landfall.  I tried to explain that “Harvey” is headed for Texas and she quickly reminded me of Elena in 85.  I tried to tell her that even if “Harvey” did change directions and come our way that it would be next week and that I could mow today and tomorrow.  She said the weather folks do not know squat and it could be here by nightfall on Friday.  So, I cut grass until dark thirty and she has already told me that I had best finish this morning!  Folks, you just do not know!

I have “plans” to attend the Theodore High School football game tonight.  (Please do not tell Lisa)  If I were the head coach and my pastor was coming to watch my team play then I would have a pass waiting for him at the gate.  But I am not the head coach!

Bobby and the boys righted the ship yesterday and won again.  Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!

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