Heating up
It'll push up toward 100 degrees in middle Tennessee today and everything seems to be heating up. I'm in the middle of a preaching marathon and leaving Thursday for a mission trip to Guatemala. Scoops are here with more to come. As always let me know what I missed or got wrong. With that, let's get started! Been there, done that! Neil Pollard has decided to remain with the Bear Valley church in Denver. I'm proud of and for him. But that also means Foote Street in Corinth, MS is still open. I've been with them many times through the years and it's a grand congregation from all that I know. You can find out more on their FB site.
