This past week, the LORD has again blessed me with good health, safe travels, and another wonderful week!

With the LORD’s help, I have been able to continue my healthier eating plan and to walk 2 miles per day 6 days per week.

I took two fairly short drives this past week and really enjoyed the day. Best of all, the crops are beginning to be harvested which means payday for the Farmers and great views for my drives.

I enjoyed my weekly lunch with my Daughter Becky and on Saturday several of our family met at her house to celebrate Austin’s 17^th Birthday.

17! Can Austin really be 17?

Austin is an excellent student and he is currently attending both Cerro Gordo High School and Richland Community College where he is scheduled to receive his Associate Degree the same weekend as he receives his High School Diploma!

The LORD’s Day was wonderful!

You know… the reality is that if you have two Churches one will inevitably be better than the other. They may both be very good Churches, but no two Churches are exactly the same so one will inevitable be better than the other.

Well… as of June of 2020, Southern Baptists currently have 47,530 Churches.

No doubt many of these are truly great Churches.

But, logically, among all of these Churches, there has to be one that is the very best of all of them.

AND LAST SUNDAY I WAS ABLE TO BE IN THAT CHURCH!

I have really missed being at First Baptist Atwood and it was a joy to worship IN PERSON with my Church; to see these dear friends; to experience the worship service; and, to hear my Pastor’s sermon from Philippians 2:5-11.

I have enjoyed visiting Churches where friends of mine are serving, Churches where I have had the opportunity to lead revivals and/or conferences, and one of the three Churches that First Baptist Atwood helped to plant.

I will visit a few more of those Churches over the next three or four weeks, but I am looking forward to every opportunity to worship with and in my beloved Church!

As the LORD allows, I hope to be able to visit all of our Central Baptist Association Churches a time or two in the coming year.

I dearly appreciate your prayers for me and my family. My son Tim and his wife Roxane just purchased a new house five miles North of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin!

Looking forward to another blessed and happy week ahead…
