FRIDAY, 8/29/08
It now appears that Tropical Storm Gustav will enter the Gulf and move to the west and northwest with projected landfall on the center or west side of Louisiana. Obviously, that could change. However, we will continue to watch the updates/projections but it would appear that we are okay for Sunday evening’s activities too. Again, check this blog for any updates and know that the definitive word will come Sunday morning during our services. Pray for the folks who have already been affected by this storm and those who are yet to be impacted.
I want to repeat that we WILL have our regular activities this Sunday morning, 8/31, with our worship services at 8:00 & 10:30AM and Sunday School at 9:15AM.
Steve Mayfield will have surgery today so please keep him in your prayers.
The funeral service for Shirley Bosarge will take place at 10:00AM from the chapel at Serenity Funeral Home. Thanks to those who attended the visitation for the family last night.
The visitation for the Karen Mallette family will take place tonight from 5:00 – 8:00PM at Serenity with a service set for noon tomorrow. Pray for this family too.
Morris & Diane Bryant and Lisa & I are leaving this afternoon heading to Atlanta. It has been years since the four of us got away so Lisa and I are really looking forward to spending some time with them. We thought Gustav was going to sabotage our plans but thankfully that didn’t happen. Obviously, we have plans to attend the Bama football game tomorrow evening. Lord willing, (and if Bama wins!) I will be in the pulpit Sunday morning at 8:00AM.
I will continue to monitor the storm and will have my computer with me in the event that I need to post an update about our services. Otherwise, there will be no entries this weekend.
Even though it appears the storm will not directly affect our part of the Gulf, folks like Bret Hart, Ross Genzink, Tom Compagner, Eddie Turrentine, Eric DeYoung, T. Garrett Wright, Adam Glenn, et cetera feel free to send cash donations to me! (Somebody has to pay for our hotel room tonight!)
I pray that you will have a great weekend with Jesus. Go to church!

Brother Teddie,
What is the suggested donation? I mean, what kind of accomodations are we talking about . It would be a shame if Lisa was not staying in the best places. Thanks for the update and I hope all of you are alright. We have been watching the storm us here and it seems that you have been outside the path of the storm. Hope all is well.
