Sunday Afternoon

David and I were “out of pocket” this morning, but just where God wanted us to be.  We were at Terry’s Creek Baptist Church near Gillsburg, MS.

I was asked to be a part of an awesome program on WMU/missions.  Everything was nicely planned and carried out.  I had two opportunities to speak – once on WMU and once on my “favorite” missionaries.

To top that off, I saw many friends from college, from teaching, from Jennie’s school days, etc.  I felt right at home

I thank God for the opportunity to share from my heart something that is and always will be close to my heart.

 

 

Sunday

   “Let your light so shine before men,

We know that Jesus goes with us each step of each day.  Let’s let others know that by where we go, what we say, and what we do.  It may the the hope someone is searching for.

 

Yesterday, for the second time, I was asked if men could attend the “Lucy” Bible Study.  I don’t have a problem with that.  We will meet at 10:00 this morning in the fellowship hall of FBC,K.

 

Be aware of God’s plans for you today.  Don’t miss any opportunity!

Thursday

“Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty,

for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You.

Yours, LORD, is the kingdom,

and You are exalted as head over all.”

Pray for Smiley Conerly as he has heart tests and learns what he needs to do.

Pray for Jeff Tolar of Florida as he continues to have back problems.

Pray for Betty Taylor as she sees her cardiologist Friday.  Pray for her mother, Mrs. Ruby Ziggler, and family as they adjust to Mrs. Ziggler being at rehab in McComb.  They cannot stay with her as they could when she was hospitalized.

Debi and George Bales’ son, David, has seen doctors all week.  They have learned the cancer is deep but not the stage of the cancer.  David will have surgery Friday of next week with some treatments scheduled to follow. Pray for the whole family as they face this “journey” they were not planning.

Robert and Ora Lee Wilson’s great grandson had a “seizure”-type problem.  Additional tests have shown nothing for which to be concerned. Thank God for this good report.  Pray for Ora Lee as she faces surgery on her leg.

Mrs. Bonnie Strickland and Debi Bales mother, “Miss” Lucy, will both be moving to nursing homes to receive the care they need.

Wednesday Afternoon

I’m so glad I’m a senior adult and got to go to the Senior Adult Revival this week.  We were in Grangeville this morning.  That beautiful little church was backed with men standing across the back.  Once again, we had a glorious time of worship.  We were led by a talented local group, Andy Taylor, and Jacob Williams.  I’m already looking forward to next year.  I hope you will plan to attend if you missed the services today.

Lillian Russell learned she had a pre-cancerous growth that was found in time because of the procedure she had done this week.  Let’s thank God for her good report and for all the preventive health services we have available to us now.

I was asked to announce that the annual Fall Fest at Osyka will be October 5th and 6th.  On Sunday, October 6th, there will be local gospel entertainment from 1:00 – 5:00 P.M.
