Still WithoutWe are still without a pastor or interim pastor. I am scheduling men to preach. A few have said they are available to serve in the interim as pastor, but we have not made a decision yet on that. Don't get me wrong, I like the opportunity to hear different guys, getting the lineup together, and being the lead facilitator of what God is doing at Park Lake. But, I'm an Ed/Admin guy. I need a pastor.
Our pastor search committee is buzzing like bees. They have been meeting faithfully, well every other week and this makes the third time. I have been moved by the spirit and diligence of our Transition Team and Pastor Search Committee. They have been "spot on" and have truely made themselves open and available to God. We have the observance of the Lord's Supper coming up on World Communion Day (Oct. 7) and "Round Up" Sunday on the 14th of Oct. As it sits now we will have guest preachers for both. In The End We All Just Want Our Tummy Rubbed
3 years ago I was voted "most likely to take him home" when he showed up at the church. My foster son and I called him the foster dog. When we couldn't find who he belonged to he became "Foster." He was great with my foster son and has been a good dog. When we added Febe they were great companions. Foster was in the bushes in the dark by the garage. He was not moving and by the time I got there had stopped whining. I called his name and he tried to move his head. He was wet and covered in mud. His head and two legs were bloody, but it wasn't until we got him to the the vet emergency hospital that we found out they weren't just bloody, they were tore up. The vet said by the kind of wounds he had he had been attacked by more than one other dog and offered that only one kind of dog made those kind of wounds. Today I picked him up early from the hospital and took him to his vet. He stayed there most of the day, but by 4:00 PM we had to make the decision to have him put to sleep. He was hurting and tore up and couldn't get up. While waiting for the vet at the hospital to help come get him out of the car he managed to hold his back leg up just enough to tell me he wanted to have his stomach rubbed. We loved him and will miss him. Legacy Outfitter BanquetLast night I attended the Legacy Outfitter's Fishers of Men Banquet. I didn't get to stay until the end. Check out their website. Lunch at MCC
Last Wednesday Dottie Edquist, Judy Brister, Buster & Louise Shiflet, and myself went to MCC and served nachos at the BSM's Weekly Bible Study & Free Lunch under the Student Center. We served food until it ran out. All that was left were a few Diet Cokes. The rain held off for lunch, but we were under cover. As students finished eating worship included a prayer, a song by a MCC BSMer, and a message by me. Texas Baptist Student Ministries serve the students in Texas colleges and universities by encouraging Bible study, reaching out to students with the Gospel, promoting local church membership and loyalty, and supporting missions. We are honored to be a part of the work at MCC.

Last night during the Fishers of Men Banquet Beth Ann called me upset and said she found one of our dogs, Foster, in the back yard bloody and in bad shape. She did not know what happened to him. I left the banquet and drove right home. Beth Ann's parents were with her. Bill had put a towel over Foster to make him comfortable.
