Happy 40th Birthday, Theresa!

This is my sister in the picture with Odie. Her name is Theresa Osborn and she is 40 years old today! It is so hard to believe it's been 40 years since Mom and Dad brought her home from the hospital. Birthdays do not bother me in the least but it is a little strange for my little sister to be 40. Several of our friends helped us prank  Theresa on her birthday a few years ago so we will take it easy on her today.

We love you, Theresa! You are my favorite sister. Happy 40th Birthday!

Avenal, California - Pastor Doug Spencer

Friday we drove down to Avenal to be in service with Pastor Doug Spencer and his folks. If his name sounds familiar and the people look familiar that's for good reason. Bro. Doug Spencer is the oldest son of Bro. Charles Spencer at Riverdale. He is also an Associate Pastor and Principle of the School at Riverdale. His whole family is involved deeply in both churches and the school. To say they are a family busy working for the Lord would definitely be an understatement.

We always enjoy going to Avenal and last night was no exception. We appreciate the warm hospitality of Bro. Spencer and his family. The people responded great to the singing and preaching and several received help in the altar. I love watching folks respond to God's Word. It is amazing the change that takes place in lives when that happens.

They brought the bus down from Riverdale so it was good to have several of them there as well. We knew some were coming but all the rest were a surprise to us. After church we headed to In N Out for wonderful greasy hamburgers and great fellowship!

Today we will be flying to Phoenix by way of Los Angeles. We are suppose to be in Phoenix late tonight and begin revival tomorrow morning. We are looking forward to seeing Pastor Jimmy Munoz and our great friends at Desert Cove. We are also looking forward to all the good Mexican food! Stand by for pictures coming soon! Until then, here are some great pictures from last night.

A bunch of the folks came from Riverdale for the service.

And then it was off to In N Out!

Souls Harbor Holiness Church - Fresno, California

Last night we were in service at Souls Harbor Holiness Church in Fresno. This is the church that Bro. Anthony Munoz pastors. Bro. Anthony is still in the hospital due to his treatment for cancer but we were honored to stand in his pulpit and minister to his congregation again. These are dear friends of ours and they are under a heavy burden for their pastor and his family. I know that God is going to help them all and we could sense that last night in the service. It was good to feel God ministering to His people.

Pastor Jared Burris and some of his folks came down for service last night as well. It was great to see them one more time before we leave the state on Saturday. Bro. Jared and his family have been busy moving this week so we appreciate them taking time to come. It was also great to have friends there from Merced and Raisin City. It was almost like fellowship meeting.

Several of us also went to Five Guys afterward. It was good as always. Here are a few pictures from last night. Please pray for Pastor Munoz, his family and his church.
