“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 – Proverbs 3-5; II Corinthians 1

You may have had to jump through a hoop or two in order to get to this blog.  If so, I apologize.  Some folks have been having some difficulties accessing our website.  I called Al and he very plainly told me that the only way to properly correct the problem was to take the website down.  He said, “do you want to use a band aid and simply cover the problem or do surgery and correct it?”  I replied, “Al, you are the one who invented this whole internet thing so we will do whatever you say needs to be done!”  So, now you know!

Men’s breakfast in the morning, 9/9, beginning at 8:00AM.  All men invited.

Betty Evans’ mother passed from this life yesterday.  Arrangements pending.  Pray for the family.

Yes, there was a major earthquake in Mexico during the night near the coast of Guatemala.  It is being reported as an 8.1.  It lasted long enough that Soy & Deidra were able to get up and get the girls out of the apartment while it was still taking place.  Folks, that is a strong and long shake!  As far as I know, all is well in Guatemala.  Pray for those who lost loved ones because of last night’s quake.

Also, we have been praying for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.  Now, Hurricane Irma is apparently taking aim at Florida.  This once could do major damage in Florida if it stays on the projected path and maintains close to the current wind speeds.  So, we need to pray for those who will be in Irma’s path.

I used a vacation day yesterday so I do not have an update on Robert Baria.  However, I can say with a certain degree of assurance that there has been no significant change in Robert’s condition.  Just keep praying.

I do know that Tommy Watson has been admitted to a rehab facility.  Pray that he does well.

Ready for another weekend of college football.  Lord willing, we will be traveling to Tuscaloosa for tomorrow afternoon’s game.  Going to get to spend time with my cousin Rachel and her family.  Looking forward to it.  Auburn travels to Clemson and that is a big game!  Should be a good one.

Bryant has their homecoming game tonight.  Coach Collier and the boys go for three in a row tonight as the Baker Hornets come to Theodore.  JT Lastorka and the #1 MC Leopards travel to Excel.  We wish all of these teams the best!

The Dodgers are in trouble as their lead has decreased to ten games.  The snakes are on fire!  How can you go from being far and away the best team in the league to losers of seven in a row.  Meanwhile, Bobby has the boys playing well as they continue to coast to the playoffs.

Lisa just walked through and asked why I am not outside mowing.  I said it is dark!  Her reply, “you could be out there ready to go as soon as light comes!”  Wow!

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