SATURDAY, 9/23/17
“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10
Today’s Bible reading – Song of Solomon 1-3; Galatians 2
Good Saturday morning! I “think” I missed announcing the Mission of Hope service last night? No excuse. My apologies. Hope things went well.
Pray for our bus ministry workers this morning as they go into the community inviting folks to our services tomorrow.
We are on a regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening. Asking the members of our Missions Committee to meet at 5:30PM in the normal meeting place. Committee members, please take note!
Our family had another delicious meal brought to the house last night. Someone knows us pretty well as they brought bar-b-que which was very good. Rumor has it that a “skinny” cook is bringing a meal today and Caroline Ford has always told me to never trust a skinny cook! So, we shall see!
Received a very sweet message from someone yesterday apologizing for what they have not done for us as a family since Lisa’s accident – are you serious? This person leads a very full life and has given us unwavering love and prayer support. Folks, we are fine. We are walking through a small valley that pales in comparison to what other folks are facing. We are very, very appreciative of each act/word of kindness (well I am not real thrilled about spaghetti squash) and we really appreciate the prayer support.
However, that put me to thinking. Folks like Ross Genzink, Tom Compagner, Eddie Turrentine, Pastor Joe Bailey, Dr. Rex Looney, Soy Taylor (just to name a few) live too far away to bring meals. I am sure this disappoints them. They probably feel helpless! So, we are totally fine with receiving financial gifts from this select group. We have found cash works best ($500 bills or higher)! Just saying!
My wife is trying to do too much and is experiencing pain as a result. Therefore, I am dropping the hammer today! Putting my foot down! Laying down the law! I will let you know how that goes!
Congratulations to the Bryant Hurricanes on their win last night. Ditto to JT and the Leopards. I was in a pretty good grove of attending games and had plans but those took a turn when Lisa went down. (Coach Collier has missed me!)
The Dodgers clinched the West last night. I am in hopes of a NL championship series featuring the Nationals and the Dodgers. (Sorry Pastor Wes Bates)
They say the world is ending today, 9/23. I think it may have ended yesterday, 9/22. Why? Strange happenings around here. Dana & Gina actually went and bought groceries for us! (Please note that I paid)
I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
