A little time off....

On Friday, Debra and I made a trip to Northern Indiana to watch my nephew Ethan play football. Ethan is a "stand-out" wide receiver for the Maconaquah Braves in Bunker Hill, Indiana and was rate #11 in the state. I had never seen him play football, although this is his senior year and he is one of the team captains. We really enjoyed being with my two sisters and their families for a couple of days.

On Saturday, we just rested by lounging around my younger sister's house. Thank God for Direct TV which allowed me to see the Tennessee/California game. Now that's the way to start a new season!

This morning, I preached at the Kokomo, Indiana church, which is the first church my father pastored. It was good to see all of the hard work that has gone into keeping the work going there. My brother-in-law, Victor has served as the pastor for the past six years. It was over twenty-years-ago that I baptized him in the White River in Indiana, and at the General Assembly, I was blessed to see him ordained a Bishop in the Church of God of Prophecy.

The Lord gave us a great day to travel home, and He kept His hand of protection on us as we made the 350 mile trip home. As I write, I just finished my evening devotion and am ready to call it a day.

I trust the Lord blessed all of you in your churches today and that souls were added to the kingdom of God. May the Lord bless and keep each of you.

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.

Death Notice - Clara McMahan

I AM SHARING A NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM PASTOR TERRY BARNWELL (KNOXVILLE- ARROWHEAD) Hi Brother; I pray your day is going along well. I wanted to let you know of the passing of Sister Clara McMahan this morning. Her husband Claude has served as deacon for over 52 years at the Arrowhead church. This wonderful lady has touched thousands of lives across Tennessee. She is the sister of Charlie Weaver. The day you and Sister McKinley were with us on the Home Coming Sunday if you remember the youth presented this couple with a light house they had built for them. Sister Clara will be greatly missed greatly. I will let you know the arrangements when I get them if you wished to attend the services. If your schedule will not permit I understand, but I just wanted you to know. Love you and have a blessed day; Bro. Terry
