FRIDAY, 9/16/16
“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 – Daniel 7-9
Holly Lybarger’s test results came back negative. (Reb had sent me an e-mail but it never made it to Guatemala) Regardless, praise the Lord!
Steve Lewis was discharged from the hospital yesterday.
Keep praying for those folks battling cancer. No new updates. Bernard is getting close to the end of his radiation treatments.
The group of men and women who have spent this week working on Pastor Ben’s house left the mission house heading to the airport at 3:30AM. The Mobile folks should land around 2:00PM and Ross will land in Grand Rapids around 4:30PM. Pray for them to have safety in travel. (I will be traveling a bit later today and get home late tonight)
I cannot say enough about this group and the work they accomplished this week! Absolutely amazing! They spent around fifty four hours (yes, 54) over the past four days working. They never complained – not even once! Caroline & Clara did a great job preparing the meals for the team. These folks paid their own ways and several of them brought tools and supplies to be used on the job. While they did not get “finished” the finish line is now easily in sight! I am very grateful to each of them for their service to the Lord. I am also thankful to Kirk Lightfield and John King for their assistance in this project. Great week!
Pastor Doug Chappelle and his team arrived at the mission house last night. It was good to see Pastor Doug, Pastor BJ, Michelle and the rest of the team. (Pastor Doug hit me up for some money but what else is new?)
Received devastating news last night. I thought we had thirteen faithful readers of the blog but that number is actually twelve. Found out that my niece, Jamie Glenn, no longer reads the blog – wow! It was a restless night for me! (Just makes me appreciate Rex Looney all the more!)
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
