SUNDAY

Equipped for Battle – Ephesians 6:11-13, NIV

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Prayer Focus for Today

Let’s pray for the candidates whose vote count was not finalized yet to have that done and accepted so our country can move on with its government. May the winners and losers do so graciously.

Thankfulness – Day 10

Today, I am thankful for today’s communication and transportation. I have read some old family communications going back several generations. Some of the letters told of births or deaths in the family, but family members who lived less than a hundred miles away had to learn by written communications. People did not have time to travel to the funeral of their parent or siblings. The paragraphs often started with “I regret to tell you that ….”. I am aware of and thankful for the improvements in both communication and transportation.

Obituary

Robert J. “Bobby” Hutchinson

February 9, 1941 – November 8, 2024

U.S. Veteran

Robert J. “Bobby” Hutchinson passed away on November 8th, 2024 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was born on February 9th, 1941 in Greensburg, LA to Oscar J. and Mary Spencer Hutchinson.  He is preceded in death by his parents, Oscar & Mary, and his sister Linda Sue Brookstein.  He is survived by his wife of over 62 years, Eugenia Louise “Lou” Hutchinson, all four children: Vicki May (Marc), Cindy Lestage (David), Tim Hutchinson (Christine), and Wendi Coates (Jarred), and his sister Gilda Ann McDowell.  He is also survived by nineteen grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. 

He worked hard all his life starting by milking cows in the family dairy at the age of six (according to him). During his early college years, he got married and started working at Istrouma Foundry where he stayed for 23 years before taking his experience and knowledge to Pearce Pump Supply.  He worked at Pearce for another 25 years before retiring as one of their vice presidents. He was also proud of the fact that it only took him 25 years to graduate from Louisiana State University with a little 20-year gap between classes. 

Pallbearers will be Spencer May, Mason Hutchinson, Christopher Lestage, Benjamin Lestage, Tommy Ballard, and Tim Hutchinson. Visitation will be at McKneely Funeral Home in Amite, Louisiana on Tuesday, November 12th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. A Masonic service will be held at 6:30 p.m.  Visitation will resume on Wednesday, November 13th from 10:00 a.m. until services begin at 11:00 a.m. followed by interment at Greensburg Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Shriner’s Children’s Hospital. 

Excitement in the Air

People are excited today because they get to attend church today and get to learn what God has in store for them. I especially notice this with the little children. Isn’t that great? There are some things about life adults could learn from children.

Have a wonderful Lord’s Day!

Until tomorrow….
