      Of David. Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.

Columbus, Mississippi

Watch out for alligators!
      Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.
Proverbs 10:12

             Monday March 11 th ~     Two weeks ago the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist in Douglas, Georgia did the "Tube Surgery Thing" to relieve middle ear pressure and drain infection. It worked. At today's appointment I was given a clean-bill-of-health.
          Tuesday March 12 th ~
     Said my goodbyes and headed west, stopping in Tifton, Georgia where I ministered at the "Cypress Pond" assisted living facility.
          Wednesday March 13 th ~
     Having crossed into Alabama I stopped at an older nursing home in Montgomery. I was here a few years ago when it was full. Turns out, they were shut down last year and had recently re-opened with only three residents so far. So, I sang for them and three staff members.
          Thursday March 14 th ~
     Continued west to Demopolis, Alabama where I was able to share at the "Woodhaven Manor".
          Friday March 15 th ~
     Took a day off.
          Saturday March 16 th ~
     Drove a short way today angling northwest.
          Sunday March 17 th ~
     As I drove toward the Mississippi border the Spirit moved me to go to a nursing home instead of a church. (This happens every now and then.) I found the "Aliceville Manor" where the person scheduled to lead a morning service was a no-show. So, nurses gathered a bunch of folks and we did Church.
    
And so begins another week.

May The Lord Our God
Guard, Guide And Direct You.
In The Name Of Jesus. Amen!
