Weekend travels...

Good morning.

Just wanted to give you a quick update on events happening over this past weekend. Debra and I were in Cleveland over the weekend to attend the funeral of Carol Howell, a member at the Keith Street church. She was obviously a real blessing to everyone around her, and we were happy to know her. There was a large crowd at the funeral, and according to Dan, the visitation was very large on Friday night.

On Sunday we attended church with our son Shaun, and his family Stephanie, and our number one grandchild Reagan. As always we were blessed to be with them, but also the opportunity for me to attend church and not preach was a much needed rest. Pastor Tim Coalter preached a wonderful message, and the service was concluded with a "healing" line.

On Sunday evening, we were blessed to attend, and I ministered during the District (Cleveland/Chattanooga area) ministers meeting. The service was hosted by the Hickory Valley church. Pastor Duke Stone and the congregation there extended a warm welcome to all, and we were happy to see our churches represented well.

After service, we made the trip home, and got in late. We are working in Hendersonville today, but leaving out tomorrow morning for Huntingdon, where I will be participating in the funeral services for Bishop J.C. Palmer.

We appreciate all of the wonderful people of Tennessee and the warm welcome they always extend to us.
