THE WEEK IN REVIEW – September 28^th through October 4^th

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.

This past week, I enjoyed an opportunity to visit with friends on Staff at Tabernacle and to meet the new Worship Pastor, Chris Gregg. That was his first day on the job!

Please pray for Chris and his wife, Abi, as they go through the process of getting settled in Decatur.

Wednesday was the latest of my twice-monthly meetings with my Pastor. It was a joy (as always) to visit with him, read and study together with him, and to pray with him.

Sunday, October 4^th, I had intended to visit the First Baptist Church of Casey where the LORD has allowed me to lead more revival meetings and conferences than at any other single Church, and to visit after Church with my dear friends Tom and Linda Marsh. Tom served as Pastor of that Church for over 25 years!

When I checked in with Tom to see if this was a good day to visit with them, he told me that he was going to be preaching that morning at the Mullen Baptist Church in Montrose, Illinois; which is another Church in Cumberland County where I had the pleasure of leading a revival.

So… I had the joy of seeing the friends at Mullen (including seeing the stunningly beautiful new Sanctuary they built a few years ago) and hearing Brother Tom preach on the Second Coming of Christ!

After Church, I enjoyed lunch with Tom and Linda at their home in Casey and I absolutely loved spending time catching up with how they and their sons are doing.

Of course, I took the longest and most rural possible routes back to Decatur and really enjoyed the fall scenery.

Sunday evening, I enjoyed watching the video of the worship service at my Church and to hear my Pastor’s sermon from Philippians!

All-in-all, another wonderful week!

Thank YOU, LORD!!!

I want to repeat my special prayer request from last week:

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

I previously served CBA for 16 years before I left to serve at 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 continuing prayers.
