Dark, but clear Monday evening...

Just for you, Sister Smith, I have decided to rejoin the living, so to speak for a few minutes. I have started to blog so many times lately, but have been let hitherto.
At any rate, it has been a very satisfying Monday off for me. Had a great conversation with a dear Sister this morning with whom I hadn't had a chance to visit in far too long. She has been away from The Church of God for a while, but is making her way back. She is a precious friend and a great lady. I am hoping to see her and her mother this Sunday morning. It is a bit of a distance for them but I feel like they will make it. It was a wonderful blessing to just talk with her. We did some catching up and talked about the Lord.
In some other good news, a family of four in the E'town area has returned to the church!! Praise God! I won't go into a lot of details, the main thing is they have returned. That's two back in the fold! They also have two kids who are wonderful youth camp aged kids. A precious family, and dear friends of our family. Thank God! I also have been told on pretty good authority that there are more on the way. Good news! Amen.
I believe more now than ever that God is about to do some great things in our region. We have had a struggle, but He is in control.
I was not able to attend, but I heard some great things about our Youth Convention a couple of weekends back. Sister Leandra Morris from E'town was in charge. She is a great young lady. I used to be her pastor, but I can take no credit for what a good person she is. She was raised right, and God has really blessed her. She is also our regional VLB coordinator. I so wish I could've been there so I could give a detailed report, but if what I hear is a true indication, it must've been power packed. Our locals who attended are still riding high from it. I keep hearing about a message preached by Brother Brian Odell about "Encouragement ,and Discouragement." Praise God.
Catch ya'll Later!!
