Today’s Bible reading – Nahum 1:1-3:19 Revelation 8:1-13 Psalm 136:1-26 Proverbs 30:7-9

When I visited Cynthia Cumbie yesterday afternoon she was awake, alert and able to communicate verbally with me.  A nurse told me that she was significantly better and would be moving to a step down unit from the ICU.  She has come a really long way since last Wednesday when they did not think she would live through the day.

Drew & Andrea Timberlake’s youngest child was placed in the hospital yesterday.  Seemingly battling an infection.  I will visit this morning to get an update.

Heard from Mark Hubbard yesterday.  Courtney has been in Houston meeting with the doctors.  They received a great report yesterday morning.  Praise the Lord!

Good crowd in our morning service yesterday and a sparse crowd in the auditorium last night for the service.  Lots of things happening on the campus last night along with the Christmas party at the convalescent home.  I am grateful to those who attended and to those who were doing ministry.

Still praying for a great attendance in our Christmas Eve service from 5:00 – 6:00PM.   I am thinking that it is going to be an awesome service!

Folks like me who enjoy colder weather need to embrace the next few days.  We are supposed to see 41, 37 & 43 for lows over the next few nights with highs of 67, 59, 60 & 68 today through Sunday.  Then the highs go back into the 70’s for the rest of the year with lows in the 60’s.  I do not complain about the weather as God knows what He is doing.  Personally, I enjoy cold weather in the Winter months.  Even our Michigan friends are set to see unseasonably warm temperatures.  That Al Gore!

Was able to watch the second half of the Bama basketball game last night.  First time I have seen them play this season.  They are better than in years gone by.  Good enough to dance in March?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  At least they are more entertaining as far as their style of play is concerned.

Speaking of basketball, glad the Warriors winning streak was stopped a few days ago.  I still value the 1971-72 Lakers and their thirty three game winning streak!  I hope that record never falls in my life time.  Do the Lakers still have a team?  Wow!

Well, let me get my parka and head out into this cold sixty seven degree weather.  Hope my car will start!  LOL!

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