Jason attended the funeral for his friend Bobby Black yesterday.  David and I would love to tell you a little about Bobby and his awesome life.  His service yesterday reflected the awesome witness Bobby was and was held in a packed mega-church.  Bobby accomplished much in his 43 years and impacted so many lives!

David and I attended the wake for Mrs. Willene Howell yesterday.  Her life was simple and focused on God and family.  She impacted her family and friends with her love and the sweet love she had for her Jesus.  She join her husband in Heaven just a few short days after his arrival there.

 

Tonight at 7 P.M. on Fox News, a program, “Passion”, will be broadcast live from New Orleans.  The ads show a modern day interpretation of some of the life of Jesus.  It could possibly be instrumental in the lives of many people.  I’m going to give it some of my time.  You may want to check it our too.

 

Mt. Nebo Baptist Church and pastor’s home have made more progress in recovery from the 2016 flood.  Give them some support with time, money, meals, etc.

Saturday

 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

 I will say of the Lord,

“He is my refuge and my fortress,

    my God, in whom I trust.”

3Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare

    and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,

    and under his wings you will find refuge;

    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

       ~Psalm 91:1-4~
