The Birth Of Hope

As I mentioned last week, I was thrilled to preach under the Tabernacle at St. Thomas. I had been looking forward to being at that meeting to sing, but I never really thought about the joy of preaching outside again.  

First, I did not know I would be preaching during the meeting and second, I was mostly concerned about the possibility of excessive heat. The meeting has a well earned reputation of being a hot one.

Here I am after service, which I preached, Sunday night.

So once I learned I would be preaching the previous week, I never considered all it would mean to me. As I was preaching Sunday night, I was nearly overwhelmed by emotion that I was actually preaching outdoors.

Earlier this year it was highly uncertain IF I would ever stand behind a pulpit and preach anywhere, much less under a tabernacle in a camp meeting. I have been emotional about it ever since and thankful to God for bringing me a mighty long way!

It is not exactly the same as preaching under a Gospel tent as I have many hundreds of nights, but it sure was nice and felt mighty good. I may never be able to set up a tent and preach under it again, but this meeting dared me to hope.

Hope never hurt anyone. Thank you for stopping by.

The Tent Comes Down In Richton, Mississippi

Today we have pictures of the tent coming down in Richton, Mississippi last Saturday. It comes down quick. I think Odie said it was less than 25 minutes from when we began and the tent being rolled up.

I appreciate all of the great help getting it down and loaded in the trailer. We might could do it ourselves, but it would be very difficult and an all day job.😜

The men worked hard to get the stakes out of the ground. They have had no rain for quite a spell and the stakes were planted well. The men earned their keep for sure.

I hope you enjoy the pictures. Thank you for stopping by.
