“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)
Day four of VBS is always an important one as it provides the opportunity to share the Gospel in a group setting. So pray this morning as Bro. Jerry will take a few extra minutes in the opening session to present the plan of salvation.
Our VBS family night takes place this Sunday, 6/17, beginning at 5:00PM. Following that service our deacons will host a family picnic featuring burgers and dogs. The meat and drinks will be provided. We are asking the members of the Friendship family to bring chips and desserts. This picnic will take place in the CAB.
A huge “thank you” to Tina Wilkinson, Lisa and everyone else who helped minister to the Pam Tillman family yesterday. The family was very grateful for the food. As pastor, I was very thankful to see you, once again, serving as God’s ministers.
Met with Coley Johnson to discuss a possible Fall soccer league. Details TBA.
Met with a gentleman over supper last night who is basically married to a beast. Wait did he say “beast” or “best?” Really does not matter to me as he paid for my meal which was very nice. It was odd not being in a church service last night.
We have a team of forty eight folks in the countdown mode for a GRACE Ministries trip that begins next Thursday, June 21. This includes folks from the Friendship family, Ethelsville Baptist, Thelma Baptist and more. Pray for these folks as they make their final preparations.
I was gone for a week and my yard and garden both got ahead of me. Slowly but surely I am making up ground. Lord willing, by the time I leave for Guatemala next Tuesday there will be nothing left in my garden except a row of okra. Charles has given me a great assist in getting the corn stalks pulled up and hauled off. As a matter of fact, Charles & Ann did a great job of harvesting the garden while we were away last week. Brad & Daphne helped too. Do you believe in miracles?
My goal for today is to finish removing the corn stalks and then to mow down the peas. I can then turn my full attention to the yards i.e. eating weeds and mowing.
Yes, I am still considering “retiring” from the blog business. Two ladies have contacted me asking me to continue. However, just because those two are my Mama and my wife does not carry any extra weight with me! Just saying!
Bobby and the boys remain one game behind Les Hacker’s Braves. The Dodgers moved within two games of the Diamondbacks.
Free agency has been approved by the NCAA for college athletics. Not sure how I feel about that one. Need to chew on it for a while.
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
