PRAYING FOR REVIVAL – DAY ONE SET

Jim Chinners and Liz Whalen will join me tomorrow, 7/8, as being on the point to pray for revival.  Pattie Suthoff has taken one of the spots on Thursday, 7/10.  Eula Mae Blackmon has taken a spot on Friday, 8/1.  Next?

BTW, there was a 7.1 earthquake this morning  in southern Mexico that affected Chimaltenango.  All is well on the GRACE mountain.

This past weekend had me totally confused.  The office was closed on Thursday but it was in some ways a regular day for me as I did hospital visits and such.  However, I kept thinking Friday was Saturday.  (I do not know what day I thought Saturday was)  Then I did not know what to do on Sunday with no early service or Sunday School.  (Why do you think we started the service early?  I always favor starting early!)

The Lord blessed and we had a really good service yesterday morning.  The house was basically packed.  Lynda, Randall, Brad, Deanna, & Tena did a nice job with the music.  I had an excellent liberty to preach the Word.  It began during the invitation, continued after we dismissed and then came in the form of e-mails all afternoon – Friendship folks giving me words of encouragement regarding the message.  Humbling!  Appreciated.  However, we know that God deserves the glory and if a pastor is not going to stand on the Word then. . .

If you know me, then you know that I am not likely to stay at home on a Sunday night if someone is having church somewhere.  This is especially true when all of my family members who live with me are gone.  So, off to 1st Bayou La Batre I went last night to worship with those folks and to hear Pastor Clint Landry preach.  I enjoyed the service.  Pastor Clint preached on “Simon the leaper” and talked about how Simon leaped everywhere.  I took him aside afterwards (he is a son in the ministry) and explained to him that it was “Simon the leper” (Mark 14:3) but he said that was a minor technicality!  Seriously, Clint has a great wife!  What was Suzy thinking?  LOL!

Evangelist Wade Morris will be with us the dates of Sunday, 8/17, through Wednesday, 8/20.  We are praying for revival.  That prayer begins in earnest tomorrow as we begin forty days of prayer for revival.  I am asking for three folks to agree to pray specifically on an assigned day and to send Wade an e-mail or note letting him know you are praying.  I need two folks to join me tomorrow in starting this prayer effort – first two to contact me.  Obviously, we need three folks every day thereafter until August 16.  Please send me an e-mail letting me know which day you will take.  Do not send me a text as I cannot receive texts.  (I have a 1984 bag phone)  You can send me an iMessage.  You can call 251 445 5416 and leave a voice mail which goes to my e-mail.  Do not delay – act today!  But wait, if you call in the next ten minutes. . . .

Dr. Tico Vargas will be with us this Wednesday in both of our services.  He is a good friend!

Bro. Jerry’s GRACE team is in the final stages of preparing to leave this Thursday, 7/10.  Pray for them as they make ready.

We had at least three folks show up for early church and/or Sunday School yesterday.  Folks, all I am going to say is that two of the three were blondes!

I miss my wife and girls.  Even Titus abandoned me this past weekend as his paternal grandparents/family have been in town.  Kayla Hatcher did invite me to join them for fried shrimp Saturday afternoon.  Only because she knows that I am not eating fried foods (except okra) and I called her out.  Nicole said she is not in our class!  The others i.e. Claire, Caryn could care less!

As you noted at the top of this entry, today is 7/7/14 which means the month and day added together equal the year (last two figures only).  My friend, Dr. Jack Bailey, would quickly point out that will not happen again for the next twenty eight years or so – he is good with numbers!

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