    But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person--such a person is an idolater--has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Ephesians 5:3-6

          Monday November 21 st ~

     Ministered at the "Edgewater" nursing home in Kerrville, Texas. Then drove to Lakeway, Texas in time for Barb's "Home Church" type weekly gathering where I enjoyed the honor of sharing in song, testimony and message.

          Tuesday November 22 nd ~

     A rather rewarding time singing in a memory care section of the "Brookdale" facility in Lakeway. Several residents who in the beginning appeared catatonic, seemed to wake up (so to speak) and even sing along with increasing involvement as these old gospel songs began to penetrate. By the time I'd finished and was going around shaking hands, many of these Alzheimer's patients were responding  and communicating in very encouraging ways.

     It continues to amaze me how the gospel-in-song seemingly sobers these folks up.

          Wednesday November 23 rd ~

     Spent a good part of the day visiting with my dear Brother-in-Christ George in Austin, Texas.

          Thursday November 24 th ~

     Thanksgiving Day!  A little turkey, a little ham, some dressing & green beans, a bit of pecan pie and lots of football watching.

          Friday November 25 th ~

     Took a holiday.

          Saturday November 26 th ~

     Attended a morning Proverbs study and breakfast fellowship with my Brother-in-Christ Richard.

          Sunday November 27 th ~

     Attended the "Hope in the City" church here in Austin where I got to say hi and have lunch with some old friends.

     Mid-afternoon I was able to share in song, testimony and message during the Sunday service at the "Englewood Estates" assisted living facility. An old friend (Bill) who was out of town for the holidays had asked me to cover for him.

          

And so begins another week.

    "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5:43-48

          Saturday November 19 th ~

     Attended their bi-monthly fellowship meal and service which is geared primarily for the youth. Tamales and chili, which tasted good at the time but, caused some heartburn through the night.

          Sunday November 20 th ~
