Pastor's Blog

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

Surprise!  A blog entry after three days of no blogs.  I will have to say that this is probably the first time in the over eleven years (that is a long time in a blog’s life) of blogging that I have missed consecutive days without hearing from anyone (not counting my wife).  So, either the thirteen readers have lost interest (do not blame them) or they were being respectful of my situation with my parents.  Either way, I am grateful.

The biopsy was done on Mama this past Monday morning.  The doctor was satisfied that he got good pieces to have tested.  Said Mama has several black spots which is not totally uncommon in older people and is usually related to second hand smoke.  The results from the biopsy will be made known tomorrow morning, 5/24.  My older brother, Eddie, will take Mama to meet with the doctor to get those results.  The doctor is still convinced that she is dealing with an infection and that has been my prayer from the initial word of her having a mass in her lung.

Dad is drinking at least one half of a gallon of water each day to have his kidneys at their optimum level for testing before the doctor decides which chemotherapy to use.  He will be tested the week of June 4.

Thank you for praying for my parents and our family.  We are blessed.

Regular schedule on the Friendship campus this morning and evening.  Lord willing, I will be teaching in the auditorium both times.

Levi Seymour is strutting today!  “His” Rockets beat the Warriors on their home floor last night to even the series and give the Rockets home court advantage again.  Levi has been a Spurs fan in recent years but all of a sudden switched to the Rockets this playoff season!  Can you say “everyone loves a winner?”

Meanwhile, Les Hacker’s Braves continue to lead Bobby & the boys by three games in the East.  Bobby & the boys have won two in a row and are coming after those Braves!  The Dodgers are showing “some” signs of life.

I have come to the conclusion that if I lived in the Hartselle/Decatur area then I would weigh like one ton because of the bar-b-que.  Jim & Nick’s on the way up and back and Big Bob’s while in the area have killed me this past week.  I do not need their offerings but man are they ever good and tasty!  I just heard about “Meat Boss” (I think that is the name) on Cottage Hill Road.  Anyone know anything about it?

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