West Tennessee Visits

Yesterday, we set out to make multiple visits, and at each location, I've shared that I will post these special prayer requests, with hopes that you will join me in prayer for these special needs:

1. Sister Watson, mother of Pastor Joe Watson from Jackson, Tennessee is currently in the ICU at Baptist Hospital in Memphis. After multiple surgeries, she is in a real need of prayer, as well as the family. We visited and prayed with her and headed for Dyersburg.

2. Sheila Robbins, spouse of Pastor Jerry Robbins in Dyersburg suffers from Lou Gehrig's disease. We had a wonderful visit, and ended with a precious time of prayer. This couple really needs our prayers and support.

3. Today found us in Martin, TN for the funeral of former Pastor Aaron Ward. There was a large crowd present and the service was blessing. Bishop Eugene Weakley former Tennessee State Overseer, opened with prayer, followed by Bishop David Prince (whose wife Brenda is Brother Ward's sister) shared with the congregation, I then shared with the congregation and the sermon was presented by Bishop Vernon Alexander, pastor at Union City. Bishop Clayton Mahan and his family provided special music for the services. As always, our minister comported themselves well and I was proud of all of them.

After the long drive home, we are ready to turn around and attend a retirement party for Bishop Luther Massengale at the Crab Orchard church tomorrow. Please join us in prayer for travel mercies.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He
