My Lord blessed us with a beautiful day to celebrate Resurrection Sunday. As always, for me, the best part of the service is speaking to my littlest lambs. Also blessed with special music by Lyra Bagby.

A quick last minute job last night for an individual coming home from a nursing home. It's not finished but it's functional. Thanks for those who helped and for the Lynn Baptist Association who provided the resources.

Blessed with the opportunity to put in a ramp for this gentleman this morning. Thankful for the help from these young men from Aetna Grove and Mt. Pisgah and for the Lynn Association who provided the supplies.

Yesterday, I was blessed with the opportunity to attend the annual Lynn Association Women's prayer breakfast at Oak Hill Baptist Church. There we enjoyed a great meal prepared by the men of the Church and later heard an inspiring word of encouragement for Sara Robinson, KBC Director of Women's Ministry. It's always a good day when you spend it with the Church.

I guess I was a hit with cats today during our Zoom Worship services, and I don't even like cats. Just call me the "Cat Whisperer"!

At least someone was listening to the message this morning. Thank you Mary Milby for the photo. 🤣

Twenty-five years ago today, 24 January, 2001, I conducted my first service at Aetna Grove. It was a small mid-week service. The beginning of what, I did not know! Now I know it was the beginning of something special, a journey that brought me closer to my Lord and introduced me to some very special people; the people of Hudgins, KY. As I reflect on the memories of the past 25 years, I see the faces of many who have gone on to be with their Lord and many who are still with us. Men and women who touched us for a season and had a hand in shaping who I am today. Looking forward to whatever my Lord has planned for me and my family, I thank Him for allowing me to shepherd His flock at Aetna Grove and I thank the people of Aetna Grove, and Hudgins, for allowing me to be your shepherd. Karen and I love you more than you know, it has been our blessing to laugh with you, cry with you, and serve with you for the past 25. Can’t wait so see what our Lord has planned for the next 25 years.

I want to thank everyone who came out for our annual Lynn Association Men's breakfast on Saturday morning. I also want to thank Bro Ron Crow from our Kentucky Baptist Convention Diasater Relief team on the wonderful presentation about their work. Sorry, I didn't get any pictures of the meal, I was too busy eating. However we went through 10 lbs of sausage & Bacon, one whole Penn's ham and 11 dz eggs. Hungry men! Just a reminder, our Women's Prayer breakfast is February 14 @ Oak Hill Baptist Church. Breakfast will begin at 8.30 Eastern Time.

We took an advantage of a tree day weekend and spent the night with some of our younger Church members. Following our worship service on Sunday night, we went to the cinema to see the movie "David". Then it was a night full of games. Big thanks to our parents for trusting us with their children and a BIG THANKS to Amber and Greg Ard for planning this evening. An honorable mention to "SKI" for getting us through the night.
