Forgiveness

God is moving under the tent and anticipation is building each night. We are having a good amount of visitors and the church folks are reporting that many more are promising to come. Please pray for those that need God desperately. If they will open their hearts we know God is prepared to do the miraculous.

Bro. Jimmy Millikin, Sis. Shauna and Bro. Marty Millikin are singing great each night. Last night was wonderful!

After the singing Bro. Jimmy preached to a great crowd on "Forgiveness." It was a super message. The Lord helped him tremendously and we had a great altar service.

We praise God for the opportunity to work with this talented and Godly family in tent revivals. Bro. Jimmy has a campmeeting to preach the latter part of this week and we are sure going to miss them. He plans to be back by Sunday.

Thanks for praying for our family and these meetings. The weather was near perfect last night and it looks good the next two nights. They keep putting storms in the forecast and then taking them out. It is all in God's hands.

Good News/Not So Good News

I took the new tire to the local Firestone dealer in Claremore yesterday and received some good news.
My brand new $189 tire that struggled to hold air on the way here appears to be in fine shape.

It has no punctures, broken belts or weak spots that they could see at all. It seems the tread and side walls suffered no damage from running at 40lbs of pressure until we noticed it in Missouri.

They said it was mounted correctly and sealed good on the rim. It is in near perfect balance and the metal valve stem is as good as new.

That's all good news! Then where is all the air going? That is a very good question.

The last time I aired it up to 80lbs it was down in the low 40s in 20-25 miles! The air has to be escaping some where. Right?

Correct! That is where the not so good news comes in to the picture. The new tire is not leaking but the beautiful aluminum wheel is leaking!

Fortunately the spare is mounted on an aluminum wheel as well so I still have six good wheels. I am looking this week for an inexpensive used replacement. If I can not find one it is no big deal. I can mount the spare on a cheap steal rim and be good to go.

So even not so good news isn't really completely bad news. I am thankful the tire seems to have escaped unscathed AND I am Not in a position where I Must spend $150-200 on a new aluminum wheel. Praise God!

Tent revival is going great! Bro. Millikin was supposed to preach last night but somebody did not exercise restraint. Thank God for the Fifth Amendment or I might say too much right now.

The folks responded good and we had lots of visitors too. I can not wait to see what God is going to do!

Mexican for lunch today so I know that will be good too!

First Night of Tent Revival in Claremore, Oklahoma

Sunday was a great day in Claremore, Oklahoma. We had a super service Sunday morning. Pastor Darrell Meadow preached great. It is always good to hear somebody beside me preach but Sunday morning was especially good. God really touched Bro. Meadow to preach and it built my faith.

We enjoyed a quick and good lunch at Charlie's Chicken with the whole Millikin clan and soon after it was time to set up the sound equipment for the first night of tent revival. Thankfully everything went well and the week of revival kicked off with a good service too.

Both Pastor Meadow and Bro. Jimmy Millikin testified and blessed us all. It was my night to preach and thankfully the folks responded very good in the altar service. This the first tent revival for Westside Holiness Church and everyone seems excited about it. We are looking for great things from God.

Below are a few pictures during the first service. God bless you all and thank you for praying for us.
