Start of a Good Week

After working from 9:00 – 12:00 in the office yesterday we met friends for lunch in Beaumont. Quite a few ministers and wives met for a time of laughter and food. After lunch at Papadeaux’s several of us went to Rao’s Bakery and Coffee Café. After dessert we hit a few shopping highlights.

Kent is already gone to the office or I could list EVERYONE present. With my feeble mind I’ll list a few. Bro. and Sis. Dan Booth (Deridder, LA), Dan & Tiffany Christian (DeQuincy, LA), Bro. & Sis. Doug White (Silsbee), Ben White, Daryl Bennett, Gary & Linda Wheeler (Orange), Myron & Kim Smith (South TX Dist), Darren & Amy Shelton (South TX Dist), Bro. & Sis. Johnny Carrol (Kansas), Bro. & Sis. Davis (Sour Lake), Bro. & Sis. Perry, Bro. & Sis. John Bernardini, John & Rebecca Bernardini , Bro. & Sis. Warren (evangelist), Trent & Calah, and several other ministers came without their wives. Near the end of our meal Bro. and Sis. Bobby Edwards came in and thought they had missed an important meeting.lol It is always good to see friends from far and near.

After we were about 20 minutes out of town Kent received a phone call for us to u-turn. One of the ministers bought Trent a suit and tie. The minister said it was a belated wedding present. Of course, being the son of Kent Smith, Trent has a hard time receiving gifts. He is such an independent person. Trent was very grateful and I know the minister will be blessed for blessing Trent.

I don’t think anyone had a serious bone in them yesterday. The only serious conversations were reports of victory in regards to revival in our churches. You could definitely tell it was Monday and each of us needed a time to disconnect and refresh.

Today it’s off to the office to work…
