Well, it’s Sunday afternoon and I am getting ready to go back to church and preach again tonight. We had a good service this morning, but it could have been better. I thought my message was terrible! It didn’t seem to come together for me and I struggled from start to finish. When I got done, some of the folks, and my wife, told me how much they enjoyed the preaching. Go figure! It’s better when the Lord gets the glory for all that we do. I would have loved to have seen some people saved. There were several lost people in the service, but the salvation of souls is in the hand of the Lord.
A busy week lies before me. I have a class at 8:30 AM here in Lenoir, a funeral at 11:00 AM in Wilkesboro NC and an 83-year-old church member is having triple by-pass surgery tomorrow; plus we have another lady in intensive care. I am tired just thinking about it. Pray that the Lord will be with these sick and grieving folks for His glory.
I don’t have much time, so I am going to go and get ready for church. Keep this preacher in your prayers. Thanks and God bless!

Preacher,
You’re message tonight helped me so much. I didn’t get a chance to talk to you before we left, but the Lord helped my soul. It helps to see that other people throughout the bible went through trials and burdens that they thought they couldn’t bear. It’s amazing how God speaks to our hearts, and the methods He uses. We need to praise Him more than we do!
