FRIDAY, 2/21/20
“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:12-15 (NASB)
It is a little after 4:00AM and I am sitting in the Corpus Christi airport waiting on my flight to Houston and then one on to Mobile.
The Lord blessed me with favor and traveling mercies yesterday. I spent about four hours or so with Ethan & Brittney which allowed us to go to a local funeral home to take care of some necessary arrangements. They were physically tired and needed rest more than they needed me to hang around. Charles & Maria arrived yesterday morning as did Ethan’s mother & sister. There were at least two more of Ethan’s family coming in around 7:00PM last night. It was good for them to have family there as a support system. They are also thankful for the many others who have contacted them expressing their support.
How are Ethan & Brittney doing? Hurting deeply. Not knowing what to do. Extremely sorrowful. In other words, doing exactly as anyone would be doing in their situation. Please continue to pray for them as they go through this grieving process.
Ethan & Brittney “may” begin the journey home today. They “may” not travel all of the way today. There will be an autopsy performed today as ordered by the local justice of the peace. Nothing has been settled regarding the arrangements outside of the fact that little Charleigh will be buried in the Grand Bay Cemetery. Pray without ceasing.
I want to say “thank you” to those folks who have reached out and ministered to Logan during this time of loss. He was not able to travel to Texas and there have been a number of folks who have ministered to him which is a huge blessing.
Keep praying for Miss Dollie Trout.
Keep praying for Myrtle Bowden.
I have a maternal Aunt in Michigan who will be having some pretty serious surgery today. Prayers appreciated.
Bus workers’ meet in the morning at 8:30AM before going out on visitation.
Regular schedule on our campus this Sunday morning and evening. The men from the Mission of Hope are scheduled to join us in our 10:30AM service. It is always good to have those men with us.
The forecasters say no rain today with a low of thirty two tonight. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny with a low of thirty nine. Good stuff.
I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
