Local Newspaper

This morning as I was reading the Augusta Chronicle, I literally came face to face with myself! Virginia Norton, the religion editor, had written an article about my cancer diagnosis in today's paper that included a "file" photo of me. The headline reads, "Friends, church members pray for pastor's recovery". I will try to get my webmaster, Tasha Alison, to provide a link to the article early next week.

Today was another very good day. I am feeling no after effects from the chemo, and have kept a full schedule today. I helped Vicky with our yard sale this morning. Actually, she did all the work, and I collected the money!! We had our first customers at 6:30 and finished up before 11. This afternoon I officiated at a wedding, but skipped out on the reception so that I could come home and get some rest in preparation for Sunday. It was a beautiful ceremony, and I really enjoyed marrying the precious young couple.

I covet your prayers for our Lord's Day services tomorrow at Midland Valley. It is Father's Day, and I will be preaching in all three services. God will anoint; Jesus will be glorified; I will be blessed to serve! I love you! Be encouraged! We serve an awesome God!
