MONDAY, 4/16/18

“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Good morning from Birmingham, Alabama.  More about that later in this entry.

Nadine Holifield’s father, Mr. Jerry Jones, passed from this life on Saturday morning.  The family is scheduled to meet with the funeral directors this afternoon to make the arrangements for his celebration of life service as well as the visitation with the family.  Pray for Nadine and her siblings as they walk through this valley.

Bro. Jerry Hovel continues his recovery/rehab.  Keep praying.

Kirk & Michelle Lightfield’s grandson was discharged from the hospital around 7:00AM yesterday.  Keep praying for him as he will now possibly deal with some of the side effects of the chemotherapy treatment.

No update on either John King’s mother or Laurie King’s mother.  Keep praying.

What a blessing to see Miss Lillian Brinkman in our 8:00AM worship service yesterday.  The lady is amazing! Just amazing!  Again, what a blessing!

The Lord blessed our morning services yesterday.  I felt a spirit of suppression or oppression early on but it lifted after our season of prayer.  I appreciate James Mareno and his flexibility in always be willing and ready to do whatever I ask him – even at the last minute.

I think #11 is a keeper!  Good stuff!

I was invited a couple of months ago by Pastor Joe David to share with the Danville Baptist family about the work of GRACE Ministries.  The date was set for last night.  So, I literally left our second morning service, drove home, and got out of my vehicle and into Lisa’s vehicle to begin our drive to Danville which would mean about three hundred and fifty miles or so.  Traffic was heavy between Mobile and Birmingham so I ended up driving the entire time since we were on a schedule and Lisa does not like the heavy traffic.  We arrived at Danville Baptist right around 5:30PM.  I think the service was good.

I was blessed to have a good number of my family members in attendance for the service including my parents.  Afterwards, we gathered at Adam & Jamie Glenn’s home for a family gathering which include Southern Hickory Bar-b-que – good stuff!  Great time of family fellowship!  Lisa, Dana, Jayden and I then drove to Birmingham.  Today, we plan on making two visits before heading home.

Bro. Benny McGath preached at Friendship in my absence.  Word has it that he did a good job of which I have no doubt.  Thank you Bro. Benny!

I am writing this just after midnight and I am tired.  Was afraid that I might not get it out early enough if I waited until morning.  I am probably leaving something out.  If so, I apologize.

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