I came home from the beach last Saturday and hit the ground running. I have to finalize preparations for Sunday, which was a great day, by the way. We had a huge case of the “ups and downs” Sunday. You know, it’s vacation times, so a great number of our people were up in the mountains or down at the seashore. Regardless, we had a good day in the Lord’s house. God honored His Word and we enjoyed a great time of fellowship after the evening service over a plate of hamburgers and hot dogs. Then came Monday! I woke up with a head and chest cold that refuses to go away. It has gotten progressively worse as the week has worn on, but hopefully I will get rid of this beast very soon.

If you are in the Vanntown, TN area next week, you should come out to Pleasant Hill Baptist Church for their Bible Conference. Their morning services are at !0:00 and he evening services are at 7:00. Brother Milton Martin is the Pastor and Brother Craig Clemons is his Associate. The Pleasant Hill choir will sing each night, and they are a true blessing to hear. Come if you can; pray either way. We need a move of God in these days and it might as well be there.
