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

Kirk Lightfield messaged me last night to say that Shirley Johnson will be having hip replacement surgery today.  She took a fall back in November but did not know her hip was broken until yesterday.  Her leg had swollen so they took her to a hospital in Guatemala City where the break was discovered.  Pray for Shirley, Wilfred and family.  Wilfred & Shirley are our neighbors on GRACE Mountain in Guatemala.

Visited with Elaine Brown yesterday morning.  She was thinking she might be moved out of ICU yesterday.  Edna Pearl contacted me this morning to say that Elaine was moved to a regular room.  One step closer to going home.

Danny Lafferty was moved to a rehab facility in Jackson County yesterday.  He will be in speech therapy.  Keep praying for Danny.

I spoke to Bernard yesterday.  They will be meeting with the funeral director today.  They are looking at the possibility of having a memorial service at some point this Saturday, 12/29.  Nothing has been finalized at this point.  Keep praying.

The meeting being hosted by Deidra begins at 6:30PM tonight in the fellowship hall.  Thank you to those who have responded to the invitation.

I now know how the Maytag repairman feels!  The office was dead yesterday as far as receiving phone calls.  I told Bro. Jerry to not come back in the afternoon.  From 12:45PM until 4:40PM there were zero phone calls.  That is a good thing.  I did get a lot done on my computer.  The office will be open today from 8:00AM until noon and then from 1:00PM until 4:30PM.

Rhett Butler and Carl Ray Moulds secured the CAB door yesterday.  That door will not be broken into now unless dynamite is involved.  I appreciate these guys handling that situation.

Lisa and Deidra have headed to Walmart this morning.  Deidra is buying food for tonight’s meeting.  Lisa will save me hundreds of dollars toward Christmas 2019!

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