Miss Lillian Brinkman is scheduled to receive a pace maker tomorrow.

Joey Switzer’s mother, Miss Shirley, is scheduled to have surgery this morning.  Gall bladder removal.

Pray for these ladies.

Today’s Bible reading – Numbers 26:52-28:15 Luke 3:1-22 Psalm 61:1-8 Proverbs 11:16-17

First, I need to say that we have been having phone issues in the church office.  Translated – Miss Edna has been there during the regular office hours for the past two days but when you call the message will tell you that no one is available.  Our phone is connected to the internet and sometimes we have this problem.  I apologize.  Miss Kittie will be in the office today from 8:00AM – 12:00PM (actually will be eating with us from 11:00AM until 11:30AMish) and then 1:00PM until 5:00PM.

“Potluck with the pastor” takes place today immediately following the morning service.  We have had one slight change in that when Lisa cooked the roast beef it became ham.  What?  Amazing!  (We will have roast beef in April and fish in May)  Lisa and I are furnishing the ham, rolls and tea.  You bring the sides and desserts.

Amen!  We had our highest attendance of the year in our prayer meeting last night.  As a matter of fact, our highest attendance until last night was 2/17.  Must be something about meeting on the 17th?  Folks, if we ever get serious about this matter of prayer, look out!

Max Peacock is on a roller coaster even though he does not want to be there!  Yesterday, his heart was back in afib, his blood pressure was too low (had to be given medicine), et cetera.  On the good news side, the kidney doctor dismissed himself from Max’s case saying his kidneys are working fine now.  Another doctor came in while I was visiting and talked about how tough Max is and said he sees him getting out of SICU in a couple of days.  We need to pray diligently for Max!  I will visit him again today.

Pastor Michael & Amanda Rowell’s son, Luke, was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon.  Praise the Lord!

Miss June Strickler’s mother, Miss Marie Shofner, continues to need our prayer support.

Morris’ mother, Miss Lucine Bryant, also needs our prayers.

The arrangements for Johnny Inabinett, Sr are visitation tomorrow night, 3/19, from 5:00 – 8:00PM at Serenity Funeral Home in Theodore, AL with a 2:00PM service on Friday, 3/20, from the funeral home chapel.  This is Pat Butler’s brother.

There are some job openings at Ingalls.  Immediate action required.  Interested?  Contact me and I will put you in touch with the right folks.

Congrats to the Ole Miss basketball team for a really strong second half showing against BYU last night.  Honestly, my total television time thus far in 2015 is probably around five hours (NCAA football championship game in January) including watching the final ten minutes of that game last night.  Good game to watch.

Our TNBA was intense last night!  So much so that men like Joey, Randall, Billy, TJ, Phillip, Bradley, et cetera all stayed away.  As they say, if you cannot stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen!  (I wish Joe David and Josh would bring their little team down one week!)

The subcommittee of our deacons was to meet last night but twenty five percent of that committee did not show up.  Enough said!

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