We decided to go out to church this morning and found one on Kingshighway called Jubilee Church. We had looked it up on the internet and they had the same beliefs as we did so we went there this morning. It was a multicultural church and very interesting. The minister used Matt. 28:16-20 and Acts 1:8. He talked about how the church had to keep moving if we wer going to be followers of Jesus. If we aren't trying to change and bring others to Christ we will become like fossils or a dead church. There was a lot to think about.
We went to the 9am service, so we got home about 10:45 and without thinking about it being early, I started lunch. We had fried chicken breasts, green beans and corn on the cob. Becky played the keyboard while I fixed lunch and I enjoyed the music. I even enjoyed singing along. Becky couldn't sing since she had done so much at church that she was hoarse. She did get the voice back this afternoon though.
After lunch we settled down to watch some football and tennis and relax. We hope you all have had an enjoyable Lord's Day.
Love,
Becky and Barb

We had a wonderful weekend! We went to Tulsa and watched Aleah play volleyball. She has earned a starting position! Woo Hoo! a true freshman playing D-1 volleyball in the Big 12, it doesn't get bigger than that. We are so proud of her. She has a wonderful team with a great group of girls. Most of which are active Christians. They had worship in Aleah's hotel room - one of the assistant coaches led.
ReplyDeleteOn our way back home, we stopped by to see some dear friends Ray and Mary Catherine Martin. They have been so good to us through the years. The girls call them Grandma and Grandpa - along with hundereds of other kids. There family has been so giving and sharing of their family with others. Two of their daughters [Becky and Linda} were there and we had seen Mary Jane and her husband John in Tulsa. Mary Jane watched the girls when they were small when they lived in Monett. {Ray and John were elders} Good times.
Jeff, Jean and Sydney Potts were also there. It is always fun to be with them.
The Texas Tech Lady Red Raiders won their match against Gonzaga Friday evening and lost both matches Saturday, but the girls played hard never giving up. John told Joanna, "Look at Aleah- she is like a little General out there." I think that will be her new nickname - Little General.
So glad to here that you continue to do well. Glad to hear that you are getting out and around. The comments you shared from the church service were very profound. Too many fossilized christians theses days - there but for the grace of God go I. You have been anything but a fossil! You have been a breath of encouragement and a powerful testimony of faith and love. (Both of you a your family)
We continue to pray for your strength and return to Ozark.
We love you,
In His Grip,
Bruce, Joanna and Jade (Aleah says hello and she is praying for you too!)
