We’ll be heading out this morning for the first of 3 stops this trip. We are headed to Poplarville, MS, (close to the gulf coast of MS) for a Valentine Banquet. We will spend the night there before heading on to Bastrop, LA, on Saturday. When we arrive in Bastrop we will set up then get settled for the evening. I will be participating in the morning service then doing a church wide banquet Sunday evening. On Monday I will speak at the senior adult luncheon before loading up and driving to Yazoo City.
We’ll be checking in on parents and helping where we can for a couple of days before returning home.
We appreciate the prayers. Looks like we’ll be driving into some storms today!

I was a good night tonight with the “I Love My Teacher” banquet at Hillcrest. For a number of years now, the Children’s Ministry has recognized school teachers in the area by asking our kids (family church members) to invite their favorite teacher to a night of good food and entertainment. Just a fun night.
I was asked to provide the entertainment this year so I put a few things together and although some of the material was “so-so”, most of it was fun and the teachers were responsive and appreciative.
I’ll spend the next couple of days in preparation for the upcoming Valentine banquets and revivals, then we’ll head out first thing Friday morning.

Nothing new to report from parents. Everything is about the same.
Sure appreciate the prayers.

It was a good day today as we headed to Dothan to set up and perform for an UPWARDS basketball program. It was a really good group and the auditorium was almost full by the time the families filled in after the teams and cheerleaders.
This week proves to be very busy as I prepare the banquets I have coming up and begin working new music and sermons for the heavy revival schedule coming up.
Nothing much new to report on the home front. Dad is continuing a downward trend and mom is doing everything she can to help him and keep him going.

Thanks!

Today was spent in prep for my upcoming event in Dothan on Sunday. Lots of planning and media preparation that I hope will make everything come together for a great program.

Of course, now that Patty has made it back there were some immediate “honey do’s” that had to get done as well. So, all in all, it was a productive day.

Not much else to tell in the way of parents. Dad continues to struggle and his decline seems to be more noticeable day by day. Patty’s dad is doing really well and we are so very thankful.

Appreciate your thoughts and prayers!
