WEDNESDAY, 9/4/19
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11)
Regular schedule on our campus today – morning and evening. Our RA & GA workers, along with those children, have been most flexible this church year and I appreciate their attitudes. Those workers get it when it comes to the big picture and I am grateful!
The visitation and service for Wendy Johnston’s maternal uncle takes place today at Woodridge Baptist Church in Mobile. Visitation is from 10:00AM until the noon service time. Pray for the Hopkins family.
The visitation and service for George Versiga takes place tomorrow, 9/5, from Holder-Wells Funeral Home in Moss Point. Visitation is from 10:00AM until the noon service time. Pray for the Versiga family.
Daphne informed me yesterday that Mark Hubbard’s mother has passed from this life. A visitation will be held from 9:00 AM until 11:00 AM on Friday, September 6, 2019 at the Ocean Springs Chapel of Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home with a 11:00 AM service to follow. Pray for the Hubbard family.
Miss Kathryn Butler passed from this life on Monday afternoon. Funeral service will be held at Serenity Funeral Home on Saturday, September 7, 2019 at 12 noon with visitation from 10 am until service time. I am not going to call names for fear of missing someone but there have been members of the Friendship family who have done a wonderful job of ministering to Miss Kathryn and those close to her before, during and after her passing. I say a heartfelt “thank you” to those folks.
Sanna Collier is scheduled to see a specialist this week. Not sure when that takes place but do ask that you pray for her. Pray for wisdom for the doctors as they deal with her situation.
The doctors are scheduled to meet this Friday, 9/6, regarding Sonny Bates’ case. Pray for wisdom there too.
Keep praying for Carol Lucky.
Pray for those who have been affected by Hurricane Dorian and those still in the storm’s path.
There were three ladies who prayed to receive Jesus as their personal Savior at the McKemie Place service last night. Praise the Lord!
This pastor is pretty pumped about the beginning of our AWANA ministry this Sunday, 9/8, at 5:00PM. Pray for Elizabeth Westbrook, the other workers and the children.
Evangelist Johnny Tucker and his wife, Miss Judy, will be our guests this Sunday morning. Bro. Johnny will be preaching in our morning services. Pass the word!
Bobby and the boys pulled out the wildest win of their season last night. They entered the ninth inning trailing 5 – 4. The Mets put up a five spot so the score went to 10 – 4 heading into the bottom of the ninth. With one out and two on, Kurt Suzuki hit a walk off homer and the Nationals won 11 – 10. Are you kidding me? Bobby & the boys are hot! Do not count them out this year!
Lord willing, I will drive to Hartselle on Friday and visit with my parents. Dad will be discharged from rehab on Thursday. I made a promise to him when I left last Saturday that I would be back this Friday and I plan to honor that promise. The Versiga family was gracious enough to schedule the service for Mr. George on Thursday even though they originally wanted Friday. I will miss attending the visitation/service for Mark’s mother on Friday. Bro. Jerry will preach the service for Miss Kathryn on Saturday as my family and I will be attending the Alabama football game.
I spent about two hours mowing late yesterday afternoon – heavenly! Charles Clark and Steve Morris have carried me this Summer when it comes to mowing due largely in part to my dad’s situation. It felt good to be back in the proverbial saddle yesterday.
This “short story” has been too long. I pray that you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
