“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11)
Good Saturday morning from the bustling metropolis of Rocky Ford, Alabama. Lisa and I arrived in Decatur around 7:15PM or so last night to enjoy supper with Eddie & Sue at Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-b-que – oh my! North Alabama has some amazing bar-b-que restaurants and there is none better than Big Bob’s! The white sauce is the bomb!
Bro. Jerry was not discharged from the hospital yesterday. Just keep praying, please.
There is someone else who has been admitted to the hospital and is facing surgery but I do not know if I have the right to disclose the name so I will just ask that you pray. I am pretty particular about privacy matters when it comes to the blog.
Six sets of parents were asked to submit photos of their children for our parent/child dedication service tomorrow. Five sets responded in a timely manner. One set did not. I will not call them out but I will say the father goes by two different names like Bob Smith and Bill Jones. Just saying!
Were they robbed? JT and the Leopards were down 7 – 4 in the top of the sixth inning yesterday. JT has just doubled so runners were on second and third with the tying run at the plate with only one out. There was a lightning strike in the area and then the rain came for about thirty minutes. Weather delay. Then the umpire came out and announced the game was over. It is within the rules but something seems so wrong about the way this went down. Anyway, JT had a great high school career and now takes his talents to the college level. Congratulations JT!
As you know, Lisa and I will be in Guatemala next week and Bro. Jerry is sick. So, our deacons will be on call. Here is that schedule along with phone numbers.
