“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.”  (Psalm 19:14 KJV)

Today’s Bible reading – Nehemiah 8-10

The surgery on Dana Faucett went well.  Her mother, Miss Mary, seems to think Dana will be discharged from the hospital at some point today.  Let me say a big “thank you” to Myrtle Bowden for driving Dana to the hospital early yesterday morning so that Miss Mary could stay home and get all of the children to school.  What a kind act by Myrtle!

Heard from Debbie Kendrick last night and Bill’s surgery went well too.  If all goes as planned, he will have an additional surgery in three or four weeks.  (Bill does not know this but I plan on having a tattoo artist put a script A on his right forearm while he is out the next time!  I think he will like it!  LOL!)

Visited with Winston and he is hopeful that he will be discharged today.  He is ready to come home.

Keep praying for Maria Wainwright’s mother, Mrs. Hamilton, in Louisiana.

Andy Hamil sent me an e-mail from the hills of Tennessee.  He said all is well with the senior adults group.  That is good news!

We are on a regular schedule this morning and tonight.  Bible study this morning at 10:00AM, children’s choir at 5:30PM, adult choir at 6:30PM, RA’s/GA’s at 6:30PM, preschool classes/nursery at 6:30PM, middle school and high school Bible study at 6:30PM, Bible study in the auditorium at 6:30PM, Bible study at our house at 7:30PM.

The fare for tonight’s 7:30PM Bible study is poppy seed chicken with all of the trimmings.  We are doing this for Zach Huhn even though he is in Starkville.  My wife does an amazing job of providing these Wednesday night meals!

As I mentioned in Sunday morning’s message, I blew a ministry opportunity last week.  Graciously, the Lord gave me another opportunity yesterday.  I am grateful.  Looking and listening!

Steve Morris has spent the past two days mowing the back forty.  I appreciate it!  Looks good!  Thanks to Jeff Holifield for getting the mower repaired.

Richard Tillman did some much needed repair work on one of our roofs yesterday.  I am very thankful.  It “appears” that he also found the “light bulb” leak in the auditorium and corrected that problem.

Can it be true that cooler temps are on the way?  50’s for the next three mornings?  Humidity in the fifty percent range?  That is great!  I do not complain about the weather as God knows what He is doing.  However, I am very grateful for cooler/cold temperatures.

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