FRIDAY, 3/23/12
Attempted to visit Miss Kathleen Henderson in the hospital yesterday but there were three or four folks in her room working with her. So, I had to leave a card and do not have an up to date report.
Dale Bosarge will be preaching at the Mission of Hope tonight. The service begins at 7:00PM. I am told that the mini bus will not be making the trip. I would “assume” that means no bus but that is merely an assumption. Usually, when I assume I assume wrong! The important thing is that the service begins at 7:00PM and you are invited to attend.
The “Friendship Food Festival” takes place tomorrow from 5:00 – 7:00PM in the CAB. It should be good. Tickets are $10 per person. If you leave hungry, it will be your choice. Come support our student ministry.
The work day scheduled for tomorrow morning has been postponed due to the wet conditions. We have tried to contact folks to let them know but please help us pass the word. (It basically has not rained since I announced the postponement which is par for the course for me) Regardless, the decision has been made and we will stick with the postponement.
Lord willing, I will be preaching in all four services this Sunday. Chad Blakeney and Jim Chinners have been teaching/preaching in the Spanish service which has helped me on Sundays. However, I look forward to sharing with these folks this Sunday.
Gary Siler from Michigan surprised me with a visit yesterday at noon. Nice! Gary went on a GRACE Ministries trip last November and was saved while on that trip. (He has signed up for the trip this November too) God really used that trip to change Gary’s life in more ways than just his salvation although that is the most important way. It was really great to see Gary!
Speaking of Spanish speaking folks, we received an e-mail from Pastor Carlos Portillo yesterday expressing great joy over his church becoming our daughter church. Good stuff! God stuff!
The okra and peas are up with a pretty good stand. Not so with the corn and snap beans yet.
MSU went down hard last night. I felt for the many MSU fans that I know. I am not a Gators fan but am glad to see a SEC team advance to the Elite Eight. UF will be joined by UK tonight. The SEC could have two teams in the Final Four.
I do not plan on posting this weekend but you never know. I pray you will have a blessed weekend with Jesus!
