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 was able to enjoy a couple of drives this past week including a lovely drive after Church last Sunday.

I was blessed again this week to have brunch at my home with my daughter Becky who manages an apartment complex nearby. As the LORD allows, we will continue to do this once per week.

As I continue to visit the Churches where some of my dear friends serve, last Sunday I attended and really enjoyed the morning worship service at the East Harrison Street Church of God in Charleston.

Pastor Curt Weaver is a long-time and much-admired friend!

I first met Curt about 20 years ago when he was serving as the Youth Pastor at the First Baptist in Casey, IL. The LORD allowed me to do multiple revivals and conferences at that wonderful Church and getting to know Curt was a blessing!

During one of the revivals, he and Music Evangelist Bill Allen wrote a Rap Song about me… (I still love them anyway!)

Some years ago, Pastor Curt went back to the Harrison Street Church during a difficult time in their life and he has led them to become a strong and happy Church!

While I was serving Central Baptist Association, Pastor Curt invited me to lead a Revival for their Church. Until their work situation led them to move to Decatur, Brian and Melodie Keown led the worship team there!

Sunday afternoon, I was able to watch the video of the worship service at my Church and to hear Pastor Woody’s sermon from Philippians 2.

I have a vitally important prayer request this week…

As the LORD allows, at their Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 10^th, the Central Baptist Association in Decatur will vote on the recommendation of the Leadership Team to call me to serve them as their Associational Mission Strategist on a part-time basis.

I previously served CBA for 16 years before I came to Atwood. Please pray that the LORD will make HIS will clear to the Association.

As in all things, my one desire is to do HIS will as HE allows me to serve HIS people in whatever way I can.

Thank you for your prayers.
