Pastor's Blog

Pretty simple & short entry today as I was off yesterday.  Deacon Bernard along with Tony, Les, Josh, & Curtis got all of the baseboard down in the upstairs of the CAB.  Awesome!  DB tells me he will finish caulking/painting on Monday.  Praise the Lord!

Tony Barnes came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon.

Ross Genzink & Larry Crawley did an outstanding job of getting the plumbing roughed in yesterday.  They did two houses in about six hours and the inspector should come this morning.  Hopefully, those slabs will be poured around the middle of next week.

So, today Tony is taking Ross, Larry, Soy (why?) and me to catch some red snapper and other selected species of fish.  The water could be pretty tough early but is supposed to calm down as the day wears on.  Of course, I will spend most of my day baiting Soy’s hook and, if he catches a fish, taking it off for him.  He says that fish are “slimy” or something like that!  Why me Lord?

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

Phil Morris, son of Louise Morris, is having surgery this morning.  Tony Barnes is supposed to come home today.  Sara Nell Moulds’ mother, Miss Nell McArthur, has been hospitalized in Meridian, MS so Sara Nell will go back up there tomorrow.  Nadine’s mother, Mrs. Jones, did well through her surgery.  John Meredith is having severe back problems.  Sheila Taylor, John & Arlene’s friend, will begin her treatments in a few days.   Pray for all of these folks.

Our third “potluck with the pastor” was a huge success!  Our morning attendance was 61 (not counting staff members).  Phil Sims, Greg Boutwell, Warren Guidry, & Danny Lewis did an excellent job of frying the fish and I do mean excellent!  Cecil Guidry took care of getting everything else ready!  Lisa cooked the beans and potato salad for the guys across the road.  Thank you to these folks for a job well done!  The fellowship around the table was great!

Hats off to Deacon Bernard for putting down some more of the base in the upstairs of the CAB yesterday, caulking, and painting.  Tony and crew should finish the base today and Bernard will finish caulking & painting on Monday.  We will then be finished with the upstairs phase of the “Pastor Tim Wilson” renovation project!  Pastor Tim, thank you!

Vera Bosarge has graciously agreed to provide the meal for the Spanish folks this Sunday, 10/17.  We need someone for the following two Sundays.  Contact me via e-mail, call Lisa, or call the church office.  Thanks!

Another vacation day for me today as Ross Genzink & Larry Crawley will be doing the initial plumbing work on Soy & Deidra’s house and our house.  Ross is flying in this morning and out Saturday morning.  The slab was poured on Brad & Daphne’s house yesterday.  God is good!

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