Surprised By Special Friends!

I mentioned in yesterday's post that we had two visitors Sunday night that absolutely blew us away. I want you to understand they got us bad. We had no idea they were within 500 miles of us. When I walked into church Sunday night they were sitting in the pew about half way back and I nearly swallowed my teeth.

I have wrote about Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla Mayhan several times on the blog. They have been dear friends since 1989 and they have traveled literally thousands of miles to be with us in services all over the USA. They drove down from Oklahoma this weekend to visit us and some other friends in Mississippi.

Here they are Monday at Front Porch in Hattiesburg, Mississippi before they headed home.

Here they are with us outside on the front porch at Front Porch.

I am still amazed that they showed up at revival this week in Ellisville, Mississippi. I do not know why it shocks me so much, they have showed up in Hazard, Kentucky and Fayetteville, North Carolina and about a dozen other places through the years.

What incredible friends!

God has blessed us with tremendous friends in this world and the list keeps right on growing every year. We feel like the most blessed people on God's green earth and we are thankful to have such an abundance of friends. Thank you, our dear friends all over for embracing us, keeping us and loving us. 

Thank you to Bro. Bruce and Sis. Priscilla for your adventurous efforts to visit us on a regular basis. You are amazing. We value your friendship more than we can say! I want to BE the kind of friend that you are to us.

Thank you all for reading.

Weekend Woundup and Weview #9

Friday was a beautiful day in Mobile. I love spring weather and this was definitely a spring weather day. I had quite a bit of work to do outside Friday morning so it was perfect. I had to reorganize the two front bays of the bus since we had it turned inside out trying to make sure it was dried out.

After I had it mostly together I took this picture of the temporary water heater.

Here are a couple of pictures of where we were parked at Foster Grove Church.

We had a great final service Friday night with Pastor Jimmie McDuffie and all of his folks. They are so good to us and we love being with them. After we were packed up we went out for one final time of fellowship with lots of talk and hugs all around.

We had almost everything ready to go when we got back to the church Friday night so we hooked up the Green Machine and left for Ellisville. We left about 11:30 and about 111 miles and two hours later we pulled into First Assembly.

By 3:00 we were unhooked, parked and tucked safely away for the night. Saturday morning we unloaded our sound system and set it up in the church. By 12:30 we were in the car on our way to Lusk Baptist Church north of Gilbertown, Alabama to hear the Isaacs.

This was sound check in the nearly empty church but it was not empty for long.

An hour before start time the church was full and by 6:00 it was jammed packed inside and many, many people outside. It was a great night of singing and we enjoyed it all. We love visiting with the Isaacs and enjoyed the service.

I am sure there will be plenty of pictures from the night with Isaacs in next Saturday's post.

We were back at the bus at a decent hour Saturday night in time for a good night's sleep. Sunday morning we finished the sound set up and settled in for a tremendous day with Pastor Kenny Morris and all of his people. The day included a great service Sunday morning, a wonderful dinner Sunday afternoon and another great service Sunday night.

Not only did we have an outstanding day at church but we had two surprise visitors Sunday night that really blew us away. I will post more about that tomorrow.

We have several pictures from Sunday. This first one is me with Bro. Jack Eubanks that I wrote about a week or two ago. Bro. Jack is 86 years old.

Those are two little miracles singing in the choir Sunday at First Assembly.

That wraps up our weekend. Thanks for reading.

Weekend Woundup and Weview # 8

This is our view this week at First Assembly in Ellisville, Mississippi!

We are thrilled to be back in Ellisville with Pastor Kenny Morris and all of his folks. We are beginning revival here this morning by God's grace and will be here through Friday.

I hope you have a great Sunday.
