THURSDAY, 1/7/10
Karen McGriff did well through her surgery yesterday. Lillian Brinkman had a special epidural shot given to her on Tuesday and it has had the desired effect thus far. Miss Vivian is looking great. They removed the trachea yesterday and she is talking – praise the Lord! Sara Nell’s mother got a good report from the doctor too. She is in a hospital in the Meridian, MS area.
Dean Kapenga’s mother passed away yesterday morning around 6:00AM and J.B. Miller passed away around 5:30PM yesterday afternoon. There will be a service for Candace Morgan’s baby on Friday. Pray for these families!
What can I say but “thank you” to Ross & Rick Genzink and the fine folks at Genzink Plumbing! Ross & I were talking about the national championship game on Tuesday and then yesterday the e-mail arrives telling me the game tickets will be waiting in California. I had to scramble to find flights but this morning Andy Hamil, Morris Bryant, and I will be bound for the John Wayne Airport in Costa Mesa, California. We will fly from New Orleans with a layover in Salt Lake City, UT. We have four hours and forty-five minutes from our scheduled landing until game time. Folks, it happened fast but, yes, we are going. The three of us were there (New Orleans) in ’93 when Bama won their last national championship and hope this will be another one. We are scheduled to return on Friday evening. I am grateful for this opportunity.
I am joining Ross Hatcher aka “Nick Saban wanna be” in picking Texas (fingers crossed) as I am now 0 for 3 this week. Come on Troy! It would figure that Michael Taylor (Soy’s legal name) would get the kick blocked to cost Troy the game!
I plan on having my computer with me in order to blog from CA on Friday. I hope it is good. If not, I may not blog!
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
