SATURDAY, 1/13/18
“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)
Let’s begin today with good news! Edd Gillespie sent Lisa a text late yesterday afternoon sharing that his malignancy is in remission! No surgery (which he already knew) and no treatments of any kind. He goes back to the M.D. Anderson Clinic in six months for a follow up visit. Folks, that is definitely good news.
Now for some somber news. Bill Abendroth passed from this life around 12:30PM yesterday. His wife, Carolyn, his daughter and her husband and several others were with him when he passed. Pray for Carolyn and the family during this difficult time.
Grant & Katie Tillman were expecting their second child as Katie was eleven weeks pregnant. Not sure how many folks knew this at this point. They found out yesterday that Katie has miscarried. They ask for prayers. Katie will have a surgical procedure on Monday.
Mark Hubbard says that Courtney is about the same. Keep praying.
Regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening.
Weather forecast calls for three consecutive nights of below freezing temperatures including last night – 27, 25 & 28. Then on Monday night it warms to a balmy 35. Tuesday night will be the tough one with a forecasted low of 17 and a high on Wednesday of 37. Then we go 21 on Wednesday night followed by 31 on Thursday night.
So, I have made the decision to once again cancel our Wednesday morning, 1/17, service. Just too cold for our senior adults to get out. Too much flu and other sickness going around. This only applies to our Wednesday morning service. We will have a normal schedule on Wednesday evening. Can you believe that we have now cancelled two services due to cold weather? Am I getting soft or what! Please pass the word about this cancellation.
I have been attending some of the Faith Academy varsity girls’ basketball games because Anna Henley plays on the team. I normally do not stay for the boys’ game as Titus is my sidekick and he has school the next day. Last night we watched the girls and the boys. Anna does well. Logan Foutz does very well for the boys. Going to try and catch a Bryant game, if possible, before the regular season ends.
I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
