SUNDAY, 1/4/15

Today’s Bible reading – Genesis 8:1-10:32 Matthew 4:12-25 Psalm 4:1-8 Proverbs 1:20-23

As I write this entry, it is raining.  As a pastor, rain on a Sunday always concerns me simply because I assume folks will use that as an excuse to not attend the Bible studies and services that day.  Rain does not prevent us from going to work, school, social events, shopping, sporting events, et cetera but it puts a halt to some (many?) folks attending church.  Why is that?

What a great Sunday – the first Sunday of a new year!  The opportunity to begin afresh.  The opportunity to gather with the family of God in Bible study, worship and fellowship.  Is that awesome or what!

Dave & Donna Westhouse are dear friends from Moline, Michigan.  In October, Donna was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Surgery followed.  Testing followed surgery.  Donna received the result of the oncotesting this past Friday.  The score could range from zero to one hundred with zero being the best.  Here is what she wrote to me yesterday – “I scored a ZERO!  Never been so happy to get a big fat zero on a test.  What this means is they feel there is a zero percent chance for a recurrence of the cancer and chemo treatments would be of no benefit to me.  Praise God!”   Dave & Donna are grateful for the prayer support.  Amen!  (BTW, Dave has made a zero on a test before and it was not good!  LOL!)

Regular schedule today with one exception.  No 8:00AM service.  Otherwise it is a normal Sunday.  Deacons meet at 4:00PM.

Today is Wes Bates first Sunday in the pulpit as the pastor of 1st Baptist Stockton, Alabama.  Pray for Pastor Wes!  You have to know that his maternal grandfather, Pastor L.G. Camp, Jr. would be so proud!  His maternal grandmother is pretty proud too!

I pray that you will have a great Sunday with Jesus.  Go to church!  (Even if it is raining!)
