How many times can you become a 90 year old? I hope only one! I had a VERY BIG 90 YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY PARTY this past Saturday, October 14 at CATHY’S RESTAURANT. What a GALA AFFAIR! The House was packed with Friends and Relatives. I thank everyone for their attendance and Best Wishes!

Bernice, my wife, and I retired in Port O’Connor 29 years ago. Bernice passed away nine years ago, but her memory will be with me for ever. She is in Heaven and I will be with her when God calls me home.

Samaritan’s Purse “Operation Christmas Child” is underway across the Nation including First Baptist Church! You are invited to “PACK A SHOE BOX” to be delivered to to a CHILD somewhere in the World this Christmas. In the hands of local churches it is a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship. You can be part of this worldwide effort to grow the Kingdom of God, even in places where the Gospel has never been heard! Shoe Boxes are available in the Church Foyer with instructions of how to pack for a Boy or Girl 2 to 14 years old. You have until November 13, to pack them.
