Greetings,
For this week's newsletter go to;

    Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.

1 Timothy 3:2,3

     Published the newsletter from the "Calvary Community Church" in Fields Landing, California. Then drove south to Ukiah where Fred & Carolyn (elders at Calvary) have a house they stay at part of the time. They also have an apartment across their street which they offered me the use of for a few days. It even has air-conditioning (Yippee). Gets kind of hot in Ukiah this time of year. In one day I went from Eureka (on the coast) which has highs in the 60's, to Ukiah (slightly inland) with highs near 100.

          Tuesday September 10 th ~

     Spent the day with Fred & Carolyn.

          Wednesday September 11 th ~

     Over to the "Ukiah Health Care" facility where we ministered for a sweet group of folks. Carolyn's sister (Joan) lives there.

          Thursday September 12 th ~

     Having said my goodbyes last night, I straightened up the apartment and drove east through the southern tip of the coastal mountain range down into the hot Sacramento valley and back up into the Tahoe National Forest to the White Cloud campground for the night.

          Friday September 13 th ~

     Crossed the border into Nevada and sang at the "Highland Village" retirement community in the town of Fallon. As I walked into the main activity room, I received a bit of a surprise. There were about 15 residents gathered round a table listening to the stereo. One of my Cd's happened to be playing at that moment and low and behold, the song at that instant was, "I'll Be Back".   

     Brought the guitar in and sang for them for awhile, then went into the Alzheimer's Unit for more.

          Saturday September 14 th ~

     Drove to Lovelock, Nevada and hooked-up with Jeff, the pastor at the First Baptist church. Haven't seen him for a few years, he has bounced around as interim for short periods here and there.

          Sunday September 15 th ~

     Attended First Baptist church here in Lovelock where Jeff turned over the traditional sermon time to me. I sang a little, spoke a little, testified about God's provision and opened up to question and answer opportunities. Seemed to work well, we ran out of time long before boredom set in. 

 

And so begins another week.    

           May The Lord Our God

Guard, Guide And Direct You.
In The Name Of Jesus. Amen!

Yours in Christ, Larry
