Another Sunday at Cedar Creek.

Sunday was another great day at Cedar Creek Holy Church of God. We stayed over for both services and we are very glad that we did. God blessed us Sunday morning and Sunday night and we appreciate His presence and help. We feel blessed to have Pastor Darius and Sis. Kim Templeton in our lives as friends and it has been great to be with them and the Cedar Creek folks.

We plan to move to Red Creek Church of God near Buckatunna, Mississippi today. Pastor Tom Newberry called and offered an open door this week and we are very thankful for that. If all goes as planned we will there through Wednesday night. If you are in the area and would like to join us they are going to start at 7:00.

Here are few pictures from Sunday and a few from the Friday night Youth Rally too. I hope you had a great Sunday.

Sunday In Citronelle, Alabama

We stayed over for Sunday at Cedar Creek Holy Church of God so our view this weekend has not changed, except for the fact that last week's pictures were taken after dark. This week you get to see our view in the daytime.

Our tentative plan is to move on Monday to another church for a few nights, but Pastor Darius Templeton and I are open for whatever the Lord leads in the services today. Either way, may God receive the glory.

I hope you have a super great Sunday.

Friends and Purses

Hey friends! It is Odie writing to you today. I hope you have had a grand week. 

We have enjoyed our week in Citronelle, Alabama. It is always good to be with our friends at Cedar Creek Holy Church of God. I love getting to see Pastor Darius Templeton and family.  I love the Templeton family dearly. They were my Youth Pastors at Dryden Road Pentecostal Church for 12 years. We will always have a special bond. I am forever thankful for their Godly influence on my life. 

We had wonderful fellowship from the area this week. It is always a treat to see friends. We are very thankful when someone takes time from their busy lives to visit revival. 

I was especially excited to see Bro. Andrew and Sis. Rushell Parker and their girls. 

I met Rushell in Texas years ago, back when she was still Rushell Bernard.  The Benard family were great to support our revivals in Texas. They were always an added bonus to the services. I still remember some of those glorious times in the Lord.

One night years ago Rushell came to church with an adorable purse. I am a purse lover (My Dad would say I am a bag lady) and I complimented her purse. We then had a conversation about our mutual love for purses. When it was time to leave church, Rushell brought me the purse emptied of her belongings and gave it to me. I was flabbergasted and tried to decline the gift but she would not accept it back. 

What a nice thing to do. I loved that purse and carried it until it was falling apart. It was a reminder to be careful who you compliment. LOL. It also taught me how a simple act of kindness can brighten someone's day. It made my day back then and I still remember it now.  I am once again thanking God for putting friends in my path. 

Rushell and I have kept in contact over the years. Our paths do not get to cross often but I love it when they do. She is now married to Andrew Parker. They have 2 beautiful daughters and a 3rd addition coming this summer. I am hoping I get to see them more now that they pastor in Alabama and we are through here a couple of times each year.

Join me in trying to make someone smile on purpose this week. It does not have to be anything drastic. I love catching someone off guard and doing something nice for them. It is as easy as sending a text, making a phone call, giving a hug or a gift showing up in their email, mailbox or at their door. Whatever you choose, I guarantee that that you will make somebody smile and you will be smiling too.. 

Have a happy and blessed weekend

Revival In Pictures - Cedar Creek Holy Church of God

Thanks for all the positive feedback on my sentimental post yesterday. Thanks for understanding my heart. We are very thankful for the dozens millions of faithful and encouraging readers that tune in each day.

We have been having a great week at Cedar Creek Holy Church of God. God has been helping His people and we are very, very thankful for it. Tonight is youth rally and we know God is going to meet with us again.

As I mentioned in Wednesday's post our schedule has changed for next week. Most of the folks in the next church are sick with the flu, viruses and pneumonia so that Pastor felt it best to cancel. I am not interested in catching and carrying any of that to the next church so I am in complete agreement.

We are sincerely asking God for a breakthrough in this revival at Cedar Creek and we are considering staying here for Sunday service. Pastor Darius Templeton has thrown the door wide open for us to stay and he and I are both leaning that direction.

If we stay here for Sunday and no longer, there is a Pastor of a local church that would like for us to come for a few nights next week. We are definitely considering that too. Thank God for the guidance He has given. Please pray that we will walk in His will and that God will receive the glory in these revival services.

I hope you enjoy the Cedar Creek Revival In Pictures and a random picture at the end.

The last few days have been absolutely beautiful.

Our dear friends David and Karen Noe totally surprised us by showing up for revival Monday night. It is rare that somebody completely catches me off guard by coming to see us but they did. Bro. David and Sis. Karen are evangelists now and are parked about 90 minutes away where they have been preaching. We sure love the Noe family and we appreciate them taking time on a night off to spend some time with us.

Several Pastors joined us in service on Tuesday night. It sure was great to have them with us. They were all a blessing.

Last night the Apostle Donald C. Williamson came to be with us and was a great blessing. We do love us some Bro. Donnie in great big doses. 

He brought the Epistle with him and we love her too.

It was great to have Bro. and Sis. Loyd too.

Here is a random Lazy OD Ranch barn picture. Bro. Kelley Lamb stopped by this week to measure the roof for me. This is what it looked like that day. As you can see from all of the snow, we are very happy we are in the south right now.

Thanks for reading.
