Good Saturday morning! It's been a near normal week - recovering from the wedding last weekend; dinner with friends Monday nite; Valley Center home fellowship (and dinner :-) Tuesday nite; bereavement counseling and church on Wednesday nite, tho I've been sitting out the Song of Solomon study - a little tuff emotionally to hear about the beautiful, God intended relationship between husband and wife - really a great study - but with Joyce gone, I couldn't digest it right now.
Been at the church office every day and gradually getting back into the flow of the ministry. I do plan on leading worship for Miles' study this evening and teaching this Sunday at the morning services - first time since Mother's Day. Still not sure of a regular return to the pulpit tho. The scheduling of my surgery is still pending - it could happen in a couple of weeks or a couple of months - I'm praying sooner rather than later...some days are good; some not so good. If it's later, then I'ld still like to try a short trip to the Chicago area to visit my family and my brother, Mike, in particular who just finished 6 months of treatment for esophogal cancer. My mom turned 87 last month and I'ld like to give her a hard time for a little while :-)
That's the nutshell! Hope your day is blessed and fruitful!
In His Arm's,
Pat

ReplyDeleteI was at the 10.30am service this morning. Brilliant message, it was a gift to hear the solid word of God.
May God continue to heal and bless you.
Pastor Pat,
ReplyDeleteI missed your sermon this morning as I was out of town for a week. It is such good news to know 'things' are slowly returning to normal for you. My sister Holly and her husband Ray shared all that I missed. I am hoping to get a video of the service. Joyce's picture is still on my wall and I say good morning to her. She will always remain 'alive' in your heart and memories of her. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Keep eating malts and shakes. I want you to stay healthy. I don't want that 'feather' to blow you over on a windy day.
God Bless....Isabelle
Hey bro, just wanted to let you know how encouraged I was to see you coming out of the funk. You are on my heart, and I am praying for you every time He brings you up.
