Sunday was a pretty good day. Church was good all day. Our senior pastor was out of town preaching at an annual engagement at Metropolitan Baptist Church in Washington D.C. where Dr H. Beecher Hicks is the Senior Pastor. Dr. Hicks came to us back in June and really preached it was an awesome experience. On Sunday I preached the 10:00 am service at our North Campus. I preached out of I Kings 18 "D-Day Decision Day". Two people made a committement to Christ.

After service my wife and I went to dinner at Golden Corral. For those who know I don't eat out on Sunday but this was pretty good because we hadn't cooked and weren't going to. We only saw a few Beulahland members while dining and really enjoyed ourselves. We then went home to take a nap.

We were awoken by the arrival of our neices Kayla (2 years old) and Taylor (4 months). We baby sat while my sister took the rest of the family to the Georgia National Fair in Perry. They came with us to a concert at the church. The concert was entitled "A Step Back in Time". The concert featured some of Macon's finest community choirs from the 70s, 80s and 90s. They included the HV Johnson Singers, Melodic Voices, Young Angelics, Ultimate Choice, Gospel Movement, and HV Johnson Juniors. It was an awesome concert they sung 16 songs but the time flew by. We had a mishap and the memorial candles wax fell on the carpet but we got it up and there are no rements of such today. The day ended as it began in the presence of God.

This past Sunday was really great. My wife and I attended two of the services at Beulahland and then traveled to Milledgeville, Ga and attended the 2nd Pastoral Anniversary for a friend of mine Pastor Shedrick D Ellington.

The services were great at Beulahland. We had a very special guest Dr. Bill Crouch of Georgetown College. He came and spoke about the oppurtunities for minority students at Georgetown College in Georgetown, Kentuky. It was inspirational but its sad that I am too old to participate. Pastor Watson preached a sermon entitled "Take the Load Off" out of I Peter 5:7. The message was great and over 15 people united with the church in response to the message.

The Anniversary service was an afternoon service. I would like to say congratulations to Pastor Shedrick D Ellington of the Shiloh Baptist Church in Milledgeville, GA. It started 30 minutes late. I was the Worship Leader for the program and moved it quickly. The special guest was Pastor Derrick Dumas and the Greater Lizzieboro Baptist Church of Macon, GA. He preached a good message out of II Chronicles. Overall the service was meaningful and mindful of time.

After church we went to visit my wife's grandparents. It was good to see them and her grandmother Barbara cooked a wonderful meal that we throughly enjoyed. We actually enjoyed it for two days.

I have to preach this Sunday at Beulahland at the 10:00 am service. I look forward to the oppurtunity and ask for prayers to perform this task.
