REVIVAL!

    It has been a few days since I posted anything.  This week was my chemotherapy week.  I take chemotherapy every other Monday.  I then wear a chemotherapy pump home until Wednesday.  By Wednesday of this week, the chemo had taken its toil.  With the Lord's help I was able preach on Wedneday night.  I am so thankful for the prayers of God's people.  I know that because of your prayers, God has given me the strength to be able to stand and continue to preach His Word.
    I have exciting news that I would like to share.  Beginning Nov. 6 on Sunday night we will begin Revival meeting at Batley.  Terry Trivette from White Oak Baptist in Trenton GA will be our evangelist.  Besides the Batley Choir singing each night, we have a wonderful line-up of special singers.  On Sunday night the McKameys will sing.  Many of you don't know this, but I was saved on Good Friday in 1973 in a Revival meeting.  The McKameys sang that night in the meeting.  It is amazing that God has allowed me to pastor this wonderful family for many many years.  On Monday night we will have the Youngs from Knoxville singing for us.  On Tuesday night another group from our church, the Joyaires, will be singing.  On Wednesday night, the McKameys will sing.  Services start at 6 PM on Sunday and at 7 PM each night afterwards. 
    I have a special request that I would like to make of all my Christian friends.  The week of Revival will be the week that I take chemotherapy.  Please pray that I will be well enough to attend and enjoy the Revival.  Your prayers have sustained me thus-far and I know that your prayers will give me the strength to continue in the days ahead.  If I haven't told you lately--I love each and everyone of you and words fail me to describe my appreciation that God has given me such wonderful friends.
