Good Monday morning!  Sorry for the tardiness of this entry but things are little “different” around here at this time.  It is all good and we are most thankful to God for His continued faithfulness.

Roseanne Baria and her family will be checking out several facilities today in order to find the best fit for Robert.  Pray for guidance on their behalf.

The memorial service for Art Elliott will take place this Wednesday, September 20, in our church auditorium.  The visitation with Debra and the family will be from 10:00 until the 11:00AM service time. Pray for Debra and the family as they walk through this valley.

I failed to confirm with Sonny Bates yesterday but I believe that he will begin radiation treatments today.  Pray for him as he will receive somewhere around forty treatments.

Sonny & Jeanette’s son, Wes, will be receiving a vote this coming Sunday, 9/24, to serve as pastor of a church where he has been serving as the interim.

Acton Bowen did a nice job in our morning services yesterday.  The Friendship family gave him a nice love offering for his mission work.  Thank you for praying, attending and giving.

Lisa wants me to reiterate her/our thankfulness for every kind deed/word that has been shared with us during these past two weeks.  We have been overwhelmed.  Please note that she cannot write “thank you” cards and that aggravates her.  We are very thankful!  (I am thankful for Daphne, Ann, Kim, Dana & Gina)  I am also thankful that Courtney Cavin has not tried to cook for us!  (BTW, I was eating chicken & dumplings at 2:30AM today – delicious!)

This is my wife – she was trying to put out the ingredients yesterday afternoon in order to make pound cakes for folks who have done things for us.  I quickly shut that down as she can barely use one hand a tiny bit.  She is a giver and does not like to be on the receiving side.  Lord willing she will go into her office today for a few hours.  She is blessed with a really good team in that office and for that she is grateful.

Bobby & the boys beat the Dodgers last night.  I have always been a Dodger fan but if it comes down to the Dodgers or Bobby and the boys then I have to go with Bobby – third base coach of the year!

I will try to catch on some of last week’s happenings in a later entry this week.  May not be able to do so.  Sorry for the lost week.

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