Pastor's Blog

I am about to walk over to the BJCC to watch six high school basketball games.  The first day was not good as all of the games except one were lopsided affairs but yesterday’s games were much better including one overtime game.  I have had a good time thus far as my younger brother, Freddie, is here along with my lifelong friend, Rod Gillott.  I also spent some time with the guy who was the best man in our wedding, Bruce Fitzgerald.  Bruce pastors a church in Lawrence County and also teaches/coaches at Danville High School. 

I spoke to Claude and Clint this morning via the phone regarding Joseph Hughes Landry’s condition.  He was born this past Sunday night and was placed in the NICU due to some problems with a bubble in his chest.  He is doing much better now.  Suzanne is going home today and they fully expect Joseph to do likewise in a few days.  Thanks to all who have prayed for Joseph and his family! 

My understanding is that Pastor Johnny Howard did very well and I am assuming that he is now at home.  I got an e-mail telling me that Pastor Rodney Coleman is at home doing well following his heart surgery.  Burnie Barnes remains hospitalized but is improving.  I haven’t heard from Carla Kyser but do know she continues to receive her treatment. 

The contribution forms for 2007 are being mailed to all of our Michigan friends today and/or tomorrow.  Thanks to Miss Kittie for taking care of this for me.  There are two or three that I think have discrepancies so please give me a holler if your’s is not correct. 

I hope you have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
