“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14 KJV)
Today’s Bible reading – Psalms 134; 146-150
Tim Knighten is having a surgical procedure done early (6:30AM) this morning to blast some kidney stones. He told me that the pain has been intense. Pray for Tim! (I think I saw Tim shaking hands with Yancey Hall this past Sunday. Yancey had kidney stones blasted last Friday. Contagious? Just saying!)
Rick Bradley’s maternal Aunt, Sue Mills, passed from this life and entered Heaven late Monday night. The visitation with the family takes place tonight from 5:00 – 9:00PM in Waynesboro, MS and the celebration of life service takes place tomorrow afternoon, 6/16, at 2:00PM also from Waynesboro. Pray for the family. Rick’s mother has been battling a case of the shingles so keep her in your prayers as well.
Heard from Carla Kyser last night. She has made some small steps of improvement this week. She says the “warden” aka Marisa still has her on a pretty tight leash but she is thankful for each improvement. Keep praying for Carla.
Regular schedule today/tonight at Friendship. Ice cream sundaes for the students beginning at 6:00PM. All of the students will be together for the musical worship and then go to their respective Bible studies.
Uneventful flights and taxi ride to the hotel yesterday. Basically went directly to the convention hall upon my arrival. The call to prayer last night was a good service. Looking forward to hearing Pastor Ted Traylor preach this morning. Lord willing, I will fly out late this afternoon and will arrive home around midnight.
The SBC does not have a new president yet even though there was a run off between two men. Neither man got the required fifty percent plus one. Complicated situation. Even TJ Vice, who is good with numbers, will have a hard time figuring that one out. There will be another vote this morning. I have never heard of anything like it.
It is hot in St. Louis.
I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
