JoNell, Peggy and the kids arrived safely in Arizona.  The visitation took place last night and the service will take place today.  Pray for JoNell, Peggy and the family during this time.

I was saddened to read yesterday of Coach Mark Richt’s being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.  Coach Richt is sixty one years old and retired a year or so ago after being head coach at Georgia and Miami.  I was blessed by his tweet announcing his diagnosis as he wrote – “Truthfully, I look at it as a momentary light affliction compared to the future glory in heaven. Thank you Jesus for promising us a future blessing of a glorified body that has no sin and no disease.”  Pray for Coach Richt and his family.

Deidra and I received a message late last night about a tragedy in South Carolina.  The name has not been officially released but a gentleman who spent June 10 – 17 on GRACE mountain was shot to death yesterday.  I met this man and his wife on June 15.  What a really nice guy and strong follower of Jesus.  I was only around him for parts of three days but was impressed.  My sleep was troubled last night.  Pray for this family.  I will share more details as they become available and are made public.

Deidra arrived in Mobile late yesterday afternoon.  She was delayed in Houston for about two or three hours but finally arrived in Mobile.  We are glad to have her here.  The best news about this?  Soy did not come with her!

After getting Deidra here, I went to our church auditorium for the ensemble practice.  I knew they would appreciate me working with them!  (Something like that!)  Folks, Sunday morning’s music is going to be a blessing!  Do not miss it!

Our Sunday service will begin at 8:00AM.  One service!  Pastor Spencer Bell will be the messenger.  We will receive a love offering for Bro. Spencer.  Childcare will be provided for children five years of age and under.  Do not miss this service!

One of the professional sports stars is complaining about having to “work” from December to June.  Poor guy!  He is only making millions to play a game.  Give me a break!

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