Reading Luke for Christmas
Today, you should be on Luke 14. If you missed a chapter, read two today to catch up. If you missed several chapters, read two every day until you catch up. If is takes reading to the end of the month, that is much better than not doing it at all.
Read the Bible Every Day
- December 16
- Joel 1:1-2:32
- Psalm 142:1-7
- Proverbs 30:18-20
- Revelation 6:1-17
Children’s Christmas Program
The program last night and was well attended. The best thing is that the children (and their leadership) did a great job! Thank -you to all who participated in any way.
Reward Tickets OCC Received
Operation Christmas Child received some tickets to Silver Dollar City. David used one ticket while I stayed in the motel not feeling well. We have been able to share some tickets, but we still have four left. If you can go in the next two weeks and would like the free tickets to Silver Dollar City, please say so. They are good through the 30th.
I must say Branson, MO is well decorated for Christmas and there are lots of other things to do there in additions to Silver Dollar City. David and I made our first trip there in 1968. Give me a call if you can use the tickets.
Obituary
Tammy Renae Boudreaux
August 29, 1964 – December 14, 2024
Tammy Renae Boudreaux, 60, of Apache Junction, AZ passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 14, 2024, surrounded by her family.
Tammy was born on August 29, 1964 in Greensburg, LA to Frances “Virginia” Martin and Tom Ed Bridges Jr. Being raised on a dairy farm, Tammy developed a deep love for animals, specifically horses. It was her love of horses that led her to true love. Tammy met Michael Anthony Boudreaux on a trail ride in 1987 and they married a year later on June 4, 1988, recently celebrating their 36th year anniversary.
Tammy loved teaching young children which led to her favorite career by far as a Pre-K teacher at Oak Forest Academy for approximately 12 years. In addition to teaching, Tammy loved spending time with family and friends, cheering on LSU in any sport, and going to the beach where she collected seashells. In 2021, Tammy and Michael left Louisiana for Arizona to be closer to their first grandchild, Magnolia (Maggie). Tammy loved her grand babies with all her heart and lived for the moments they spent together.
Tammy was preceded in death by her parents, Frances Virginia Bridges (Thigpen) and Tom Ed Bridges, and her sister Rhonda Gayle Bridges. She is survived by her Husband: Michael Anthony Boudreaux; Sons: Colton (Alexia) and Landon (Nicole); Stepchildren: Michael (Lindsey) and Joni; Grandchildren: Magnolia, Maverick; Step-grandchildren: Hannah and Jaden; Brother: Cline Edward “Bubba” Bridges (Betty) and countless nieces and nephews who called her “MiMi.”
Tammy with be returning to Greensburg where she will be buried at Pine Hill Cemetery with her parents and sister. Even though she spent her final years in Arizona, her heart always remained in Louisiana.
A visitation will be held on Thursday, December 19th 2024, at McKneely Funeral Home, Amite, from 5 pm to 8 pm. Funeral proceedings and mass will be held Friday, December 20th, 2024, at 9 am at St Helena Catholic Church in Amite, LA. Following burial, a reception will be held in the church hall to celebrate her life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Tammy’s name to the CJD Foundation.
Class Meetings/Parties
I know lots of Sunday School classes have regular meetings. December meetings are usually extra special. The class I meet with each week is New Hope. Our meeting that was scheduled for last week was postponed until this Friday. If you would like to join us, please let me know.

Have a great day. Do something for someone else today.
Also, if you haven’t sent some cards of appreciation to others as Bro. Darryl suggested a few weeks ago, it is never too late. In fact, doing so on a regular basis is a great plan.
