On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth.
The LORD has spoken.
On this Lord’s Day, let’s remember Bro. Gibbie McMillan who is in ICU at North Oaks. Let’s also remember the church he pastors, Taylor Creek Baptist Church.
Tommy Hood is doing well with his treatment at M.D. Anderson. He and his family thank you for your continued prayers.
