As I write today, it is just after midnight, now May 19lth. It has been an extremely busy last few days, and I apologize that I haven't had the opportunity to write.
Debra and I traveled to Cleveland on Monday to accompany our son, Shaun and his wife Stephanie to an ultrasound in Chattanooga early on Tuesday. Great news! We are expecting a baby girl into our family around October 21, 2006. We are so thrilled that we can't hardly stand it.
When I left Chattanooga early on Wednesday, I traveled through Crossville to pick up a nice rocker and ottoman that the women at the Abundant Life church had presented to grandma Debra to rock the new baby in. I got in rather late, after suffering with food poisoning...stay away from the Japanese food!
On Thursday, I attended the funeral services for Sister Mary Moore a long-time member of the Clarksville church, and the mother of Pastor Windell Moore of Gallatin. What a wonderful, beautiful service it was, and the love of this close-knit family was inspiration to all in attendance. Pastors Bob Creasy, Windell Moore and Richard Neal all did a great job, as did several in the family who took part.
After leaving the funeral services in Clarksville, I traveled to Westmoreland for the viewing of retired minister, Hansel Ray, father of Barry Ray, pastor at Rickman.
Tomorrow (well I guess today) I will be traveling back to Westmorland to attend the services for Brother Ray at the Robert's Tabernacle church. The church has lost two great warriors this week, but our loss is heaven's gain.
Debra has been in Cleveland this whole week attending (and helping out) at the Institute of Children's Ministries at the Peerless Road church, hosted by our International Children's Ministries Department. I will be meeting her on Saturday to attend the 50th Anniversary for retired ministers, Brother and Sister Marion Caruthers at the Murfreesboro church.
Please help us pray for the bereaved this week. God bless you!
