Joan and I went to visit our parents today. We left home about 8:00 AM and got back in around 4:00 PM. Jesse and Amy came over at 6:00 PM and we went with them to Goshen Baptist Church in Wilkesboro, NC. The Pastor is Brother Brian Miller. Jesse preached their Friday night youth meeting. Jesse preached from Eccl. 11:9-10 on the subject of “Seventeen Again”. The message revolved around Solomon’s advice to young people and when the preacher would do if he had the opportunity to live his teen years over again, It was a powerful, thought provoking message. I am always amazed when I hear Jesse preach. His content and ability in the pulpit outstrips men twice his age. I would stand him up beside anyone. He is a great young Pastor.

Did I mention that Clayton made the journeys of the day with us? Well, he did and he made every mile seem shorter and every hour seem like mere minutes. I am blessed to have the family I do. Praise His name!
