“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

I am at a loss for words this morning.  Worst day of my life.  A total embarrassment!  Do not know if I can ever show my face in public again!  I am toast!  What?  I actually, literally, for real officiated a soccer game yesterday afternoon.  What have I become?  Came home and took two showers just trying to get that feeling off of me!  And the worse part is that there were people there who saw me!  I should have gone incognito!

Why did I do it?  Well, last Saturday Coley Johnson was officiating and told me that he could not be at Thursday’s game because of his schooling.  Out of courtesy I said, “well I can do it for you” not really meaning it.  You know how when you say to someone, “y’all come see us sometime” and they reply “ok, we will be there tomorrow night for supper?”  You really did not mean y’all come but were just making conversation.  Well, Coley said “ok” and I was trapped.   My reputation is now done!  Finished!  Over!

So, you can understand my inability to write today.  Can I ever go out in public again?  I need counseling!

Bro. Jerry is doing very well in his recovery/rehab.  He was going to come into the office on Monday but I have asked him to wait until Thursday, 5/3.  He has agreed.  Keep praying.

Kirk & Michelle’s grandson, Brayden, is better and no longer on oxygen.  Keep praying.

Student ministry car wash tomorrow morning beginning at 8:30AM in front of the State Farm office.

L&TO with us this Sunday morning.  I am encouraging folks to attend the 10:30AM service.

Senior Adult Sunday is May 6.  Need folks to sign up for the meal by this Sunday, 4/29.

Parent/child dedication is May 13.  Need folks to sign up for this special service by 4/29 too.

More soccer games this afternoon and tomorrow morning.  I do not think I can show my face.

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