An eventful week.

Last weekend, Bro. Crawford's 82-year-old mother visited us in service and really got a blessing. She then had a mild heart-attack that evening and ended up in the hospital. She was baptized in Jesus Name only two years ago. (Bro. Crawford is the one who received the Holy Ghost in the Haney's church 17 years ago and just moved to Austin this past year. He showed his mother Oneness and baptism in Jesus' Name.) When I walked into her room this Monday, she stuck out her arms and said - "OOO - there's my Reverend - you come on over here and give me a hug!" She kissed me on the cheek. It was so sweet. She told the nurse, "You better go to this man's church. The Lord is moving there!"

Then this Wednesday when I went in, Bro. Crawford was there and his sister. We began to pray together and God moved into that room! The sister raised her hands and began to weep.

Bro. and Sis. Jimmy Cash, from Wichita Falls, surprised us this morning and just walked in the door for Sunday School! It was great to see them. I was teaching on being faithful even when the newness of living for God has worn off and they were a great example of that! Talk about faithful people...

The Lord moved this morning in the singing. One of the ladies came down to the altar during singing and an others began to dance and jump!! It was fun.

We have several things planned this week:
Denny and Mary Ploch, Children's Ministers for Bro. Terry Black in Memphis, TN are in town at the Bernard's and they are coming over to our house Monday night for food and fellowship. We got to be good friends through all the Sunday School activities over the years. That will be fun!

Our Harvest Fellowship will be this Friday night. Everyone is coming to our house for a good casual time together. The ping-pong table will be set up and the boys will probably play basketball. The game "Catch Phrase" is always a good one to play - everybody can participate.

Thank GOD! I felt His presence as I read about the Crawford's family and the wonderful presence of God in the services. I'm sitting here thanking Him for His bountiful blessings on you and Karla and the saints in Pflugerville!! When God puts His will in the life of one of His servants great things happen! Yes, the Cash's are definitely faithful people! I'm so glad they could be there in service with you. Of course, they were missed at Life Tabernacle.
