STICKS, STONES AND MEETINGS

Sticks are showing up at the parsonage. The walls are up and the roof trusses can't be far behind. I have been told that Larry Crockett has his roof trusses and he is one week ahead of the parsonage. Stones (the bricks) can't be far behind.
Meetings include the Finance Committee at 7 and the Admin Council at 7:30 Wednesday night. I hope that if you are on either one you will make the meetings.

Today I visited with Lois Garrett. She has Judy Porter helping her this week and they both looked like they were at the Mary Kay convention. Lois is as beautiful as ever, but said they won't let her walk because she tries to fall. We don't want her to break anything. I saw Jim Senkel at Kiwanis and he promised he would try to do better by posting to the blog.

Have you practised being a Christian by loving someone today that you really don't like. Love your neighbor is not always easy. But it is a commandment!

Hi Charles,
I'm glad to hear of the progress you guys (and gals) are making on your parsonage. The title of your post is timely. As everyone affected by the fires are putting the sticks and stones of rebuilding together and getting back to some semblance of normal (if I even dare use that word nowadays), we need to be in constant prayer for those in the rebuilding task. Case in point; My nephew, David Parker, slipped and fell about 9 ft while working on his house. He was taken to hospital by ambulance as it was thought that he had broken his arm and possibly his hip. However, X-rays proved that there were no broken bones. He is in pain from the fall but God be praised that his injuries were minimal. Our family would appreciate your prayers for his fast recovery. Your family is in our prayers also and we continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus at First Methodist as they continue serving to the glory of God.

We also need to pray for the thieves who took David Parker's air compressor last week from his building site. I enjoy watching all the buildings progress as I take my daily walk.
