Blessings to you, loved ones.  My prayer for you this week is that you come to know the heart of your Heavenly Father, loving, wise, and just.  Here’s what we’re up to.

There weren’t many of us last time we met, but I’m thankful that we all made it there and back safely.  We were all in before the worst of the storm and we kept our power.  I wish more had been able to come, as Priscilla’s Sunday school lesson was an encouragement and I shared some things I really want us to understand. Please make use of the podcast.

Speaking of power, we may all have the power of the Holy Spirit available to us, but some of us could use the electric kind.  As of Tuesday evening the Whitmore and Terrell households were still without it.  Pray for quick restoration and for the safety of all of those affected and those working to repair the storm damage.

Remember all of those struggling with illnesses in your prayers.  As you may have heard or seen in the prayer requests from Sunday, Lupe had a bad fall last week and was hospitalized at Parkland.  I have not had a chance to talk to her yet but my understanding is that she will have to go into rehab upon release.  Kimi is really suffering with her legs.

This Sunday will be Father’s Day.  Over the years, since my day to preach always fell on that day, I’ve tried to come up with some clever take on a father related scripture passage.  There is certainly enough good and instructive material.  But this year I am going to do something different.  I am going to share with you some of the lessons I learned from my father.  I assure you, we will not be short on biblical references, and I believe you’ll be blessed.  I am so grateful to have a father who showed me the way to The Father.

Hear, O sons, the instruction of a father, and give attention that you may gain understanding, for I give you sound teaching; Do not abandon my instruction. (Prov 4:1-2 NASB)

Love y’all!
