I think I missed my 20 year high school reunion at Lafayette High School in St. Louis MO. I wanted to go but it would be hard for me to get away with all that's been going on. Those of you who are new subscribers to my blog I want to welcome you and encourage you to click around on the page to look at previous posts. Everything gets archived monthly so if things are a month old they will be somewhat hidden. Hurricane Ike brought with it widespread power outages across Arkansas. I believe the news last night said 172,000 customers were without power at the height of Ike's fury. Our home lost power on Saturday night with a loud popping sound outside. All the "experts" said, "That's a transformer that blew." I don't know what it was but they finally got the power turned back on about 2 hours after I'd safely stored all the contents of my freezer into a cooler and then took it to the deep freeze at church. Better safe than sorry.
Well, enough about my freezer (boring). I launched an online newspaper called the voice of Batesville on Saturday and I wanted you all to check it out. It's a local electronic paper with an international reach. I've contacted several expert contributors to write various editorials on a myriad of subjects. We also have a classified section that Brenda Holm is running for me. So if you live in Batesville and have something you want to buy or sell check out our e-paper.
Church has been going great. God's been good and sent us several visitors this Sunday. Even though power was out to most of Batesville, we had a good crowd here this Sunday. I'm so blessed to oversee a church as loving and caring as Jubilee Family Church.
I'm diligently working, mostly thinking, (which is a type of work) about the best way to launch our two Christian Radio Stations as well. We have a 450 W station on the 88.1 FM frequency and a 50 W station on 106.9 FM. I can go big with it or I can go small. Whatever God leads me to do (probably big) I will make sure that God is glorified in everything. I believe, us having a couple stations will give us a new measure of influence in the region for Christ. Please continue to pray until the vision becomes a reality. This is a relatively large project and I'm believing that we'll have something on the air within six months.
I've run out of creative juices for now. God bless you real big!
