Today’s Bible reading – Judges 13:1-14:20 John 1:29-51 Psalm 102:1-28 Proverbs 14:15-16

Roseanne Baria was admitted into the hospital yesterday afternoon.  She is battling an infection.  I plan on visiting with her today, Lord willing.

Carla Kyser got a good report yesterday from her latest scans – praise the Lord!  Keep praying!

Vera’s sister was placed under hospice care yesterday.  She is very alert and is less than a happy camper about the entire situation as she does not fully understand the severity of her condition.  Pray for her and all involved.

I am going to post a second entry that is part of an e-mail from Amuy (Mario & Amuy in Spain).  Major prayer concern.

There will be a celebration of life service for JC Brown today from noon until 1:00PM at the Christ United Methodist Church on Grelot in Mobile.  The service will be preceded by two hours of visitation with his wife, Jane, and the family.  (Jane is the sister of Shirley Johnson who lives on the mountain in Guatemala)  JC is now the only one involved in the tragedy in the Mobile Bay this past Saturday who has not been accounted for at this time.  Pray for those searching for him.  Pray for all of the families involved in this tragedy.

Men’s breakfast in the morning beginning at 8:00AM and ending by 9:00AM.  We will meet in the fellowship hall and all men are invited to attend.  I know who will be speaking and you will not be impressed but the food and fellowship will be great!

“Roses for mother” will be on sale this Sunday, 5/3, following all three worship services.  Daphne Hutto and Kayla Hatcher have graciously agreed to handle taking the orders – what sweethearts!  Correct change will be greatly appreciated!  The roses will be available on Mother’s Day as a part of the two morning worship services.  (This concept was taken from Dr. Jack Bailey and the folks at Danville Baptist Church.  Dr. Jack is brilliant!)

Left the church yesterday afternoon at 4:00PM in order to buy some fertilizer and some chicken feed.  Came home and hit the garden until dark thirty.  Working hard to make it a Santa Claus garden and fussing at Adam basically the entire time!  Almost got all five rows of the snap beans worked.  Should be picking snap beans next week if things go normal.  Hope to spend the biggest part of today and tomorrow in the garden and yard.  God has certainly given us some beautiful weather.  He is good!

Let me just say this about a garden.  John Milton has a garden with long rows – a real garden!  Will Reynolds has a “garden” that would fit inside our utility room!  It is a “wannabe” garden at best!  Please do not insult folks like John Milton and me by saying you have a “garden” when the whole thing would not fill up one row in our respective gardens!  Just saying!  I feel better now!

Dr. D Rex Looney, please send me an e-mail message.  I have lost your e-mail address and need to contact you.  Thanks!

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