I love Sundays – all of them!  I really do!  However, if I had a “least” favorite Sunday of the year it would be the second Sunday in March each year as that is the Spring time change.  That means we lose an hour of sleep this Saturday night, 3/9.  Please remember to set your clocks forward one hour before going to bed on Saturday night.

The visitation with the Barney Cumbie family will take place tomorrow night, 3/6, from 5:00 – 8:00PM at the Mobile Memorial Garden Funeral Home on Three Notch Road.  The funeral will take place on Thursday, 3/7, at 10:00AM from the chapel of the funeral home.

As far as I know at this time, the family will be fed by the Cedar Grove Baptist Church which is where Barney attended.  Thanks to those who have asked about this ministry.

Visited briefly with Miss Edith Kelley yesterday.  The hospice nurse and the aide were there so I prayed and left.  Miss Edith told me that she is “still kicking” and thanked us for the prayers.

Visited with Kevin Woods in the hospital.  He seemed to be in good spirits.  I think he can see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel as far as getting out of the hospital in another month or two.

Visited with Ronnie Glass as well.  Ronnie is having an issue with his blood that takes precedence over the dialysis and cancer treatment.

Leslie Williams posted a comment on yesterday’s entry that gives an update on Katie and the baby.

Tim Knighten sent an update on his step-mother.  She remains on the vent which seems to be a precautionary measure at this point and will most likely be sent to a rehab center later this week.  Tim thinks this will be a month or two process.

Visited with Miss Exie Woods and Marie Howard in the convalescent home yesterday and both seemed to be doing well.

If my memory serves me correctly, Dale & Karla are Houston for a ministry opportunity tonight.  Pray for them.

If you have items that can be donated to the yard sale, please take them to the CAB today or tomorrow by noon.  The sale takes place Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Bro. Chris continues to work on the GRACE Ministries website.  I appreciate his efforts.

The deacons are leading the effort to get the new office suite ready and I thank them for doing this.

BTW, as I was visiting Kevin Woods yesterday, he told me that a lady from our church has visited last week.  I thought that I knew who it was until he said that she was a “nice” lady!  LOL!  (Who?  She knows!)

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