Today I just update you on all the gossip! Howbeit, it is good gossip! Is that an oxymoron? A conudrum? You judge!
I am in Beebe Arkansas at Dr. Scheel and Pastor Jason Scheel meeting. Absolutely beautiful day here. 80 degrees and sunny. I stopped at a motorcycle shop and asked if they rented, and they don’t! bummer.
Last night Janice Alvear, missionary to Brazil spoke on “The journey of a handmaiden of the Lord”. It was her personal story of going to Brazil and her 40 plus years there. She and her husband can now celebrate over 10,000 converts to this wonderful Jesus name message.
Today we will hear from Greg Riggen, and Tim Bourn. Tonight is Brother Bill Davis from Macon, Georgia.
The Scheel family are incredible hosts and their church just does everything to make you feel special! It is truly old time pentecost. it is so refreshing and contrasting to some of the plastic pentecostal meeting I have attended.
On another note….
We just finished our Anniversary services. The speakers were “In a Zone” this year. That is the term when a sports person plays at a level they have never reached before.
Friday night Garry Streeval from Noblesville, Indiana spoke on “Have I done enough?” He challenged us to introspect and face that question. It was deeply moving.
Saturday night the one and only, inimitable Jerry Rowell preached about “Aware”. For me to tell you how good it was would be a travesty to that sermon. Simply Incredible!
Sunday morning, the prince of preachers, Martyn Ballestero, spoke on “God Deviseth Means”. It was classic Ballestero. Beautifully delivered, annointed, and unforgettable.
Sunday night the cleanup batter was Glen Burgess, and Brother did he ever hit a grand slam! I still get chills thinking about it. He preached “Keep walking”. Whatever you do, do not let the title lull you to think it was ordinary. He made us laugh, then cry, then stand on spiritual tiptoe and say, I will keep walking. He told heart wrenching stories of tragic failure by people he tried to save. Honestly, I recommend every child of God to hear this message.
FPC was so generous to me this year. They have been the most giving church I have ever known, but this year was off the charts. They bought me a trailer for my Harley and Goldwing.
I told my friends, because I do not have a wife, I will put a sign on the back of it that says “This trailer has my wife’s clothes and shoes in it, so we can travel in this motorhome”. We had a laugh about that!
Thank you FPC, You have been am amazing group of people to pastor and share my life journey with.
Lastly my blog….
I have been doing this for a little over a month now and over 7,000 times someone has clicked on to read the blog. I am stunned, amazed, and so thankful. I wanted to share some of the information with you of who read, and which blogs were the most read.
The biographical blogs have had the most interest. The blog about Brother Terry and Brother Ballestero have the most reads.
After that the story of my mother’s murder was read the most. The blog on Athiests also was right there.
The Bible blogs were well read, and I appreciate every one of you who have joined me.
Special thanks to all the men on CAF who have read and commented. They have been friends and supporters.
From my heart thank you! Get some coffee in the mornings, and let’s blog.
Thanks for reading today!
Bro. Bow,
I just wanted to say how much we love and appreciate your friendship over the years. You have been a great friend to us and such a wonderful host!!! Who needs a wife!!!
Thank you once again for putting on such a great meeting and bring such great men out to minister to us! I can’t tell you how much the Word from these Men of God did to challenge me once again to be a soul winner and do my part for the Kingdom of God. I know I am a better person for having gone to your meeting.
That was so sweet what your church did for you…you deserve it!
I’m speaking for my husband too when I say we do love and appreciate you and your great church family for your friendship and support to us and our church!!!!
