We had a fall program kickoff tonight at FBC Dothan.  Everything was scheduled to kick off at 6:00 p.m. so we headed over in time to arrive at 4:30 to move in and set up.  The bone spur in the base of my neck has me “tingling” alot so I’m moving slow and deliberate to keep things steady.

We got moved in and set up by the time the tornado warning went off.  Yep, the tornado warning (siren).  The leadership directed everyone to head downstairs in an area that has classrooms, a parlor, all the heating/cooling machinery, and the dining room for the family night suppers.  This area is underground and apparently the usual “go to” for the church membership.  Well, we sat down there until 5:45 and Patty and I looked at each other and decided to head back up to the chapel where our program would be.

We weren’t there long before a man came in and told us the warning had been extended to 6:30, so we headed back down to the basement.   We got seated to wait out the warning when one of the staff came and immediately announced that the warning had been lifted and things would begin as soon as everyone got to their appointed places.

Sooooooooo, here we go.  We take the stairs and when the kids and parents were all in place, I began.  It was a pretty good night but the little guys (there were some kindergarteners there) got a bit restless which is to be expected.

On the home side, Patty went to our Ear, Nose, and Throat doc today and he said; “I don’t think you realize how sick you really are.”   Hmmm, seriously?  He went on to say that there were probably multiple times she could have played the “sick card”.  It’s amazing that she’s been able to do everything she’s done.

So, she’s on some heavy meds.  Hoping I can keep her at home and quiet for a while so she can heal a bit.  We appreciate your prayers!

Blessings,
John
