Growing and Growing

Thanks for all the responses to my “Help Wanted” sign last night. OakTreeWife was the first to respond; P-Pet’s Dad saved us a copy on his DVR; but a new friend, WebMan, was the first to email it to me. Thanks again for your support Guys and Gals! To all those wondering what I am talking about, here it is:

[ ... Note to Alan, the "NewsGuy": Dad has been at Woodbine for 3 years, but in the ministry for 12 years. It's okay, we all make mistakes. Many people think that I am a "10" when really I am a "9.5" ... ]

You’ve already met GuardianAngel1 … one of Dad’s guardian angels … who helped Dad at the scene of the accident.

Well, Mom and Dad received a call last night from … What should we call him? Oh, let’s try … GuardianAngel2! We knew that there were others, but we did not know how to get in touch with them. Let Mom tell you about it:

I know that you won’t be reading G&G today … you never do … but I’m not hurt … you have way too much on your plate these days … Maybe one of your friends (perhaps one of those addicts) will text or call you sometime today to tell you to take a minute and read this:

World, we need your help. We just got finished watching the 5:00pm news on Channel 4 … Working 4 You … and there was a little story about a pastor who thought he’d never preach again. Did you see it? Did you record it? Can you get us a copy? If so, please send us a note here. Thanks.

No words can really explain the feeling this morning … lots of old people … lots of young people … lots of big people … lots of little people … (no midgets though) … lots of healthy people … lots of sick people … a mom chic with a crutch … lots of poor people … one rich dude … light skinned people … dark skinned people … the blind … those that see … and one messed-up-pastor-dude … it was the true Family-of-God. It was a FullHouse.

[... In case you stumbled on this site and wondering what I am babbling about ... click here ... Good, are you caught up? ...]

I have already received a ton of requests ( … okay, it was 1 request … I joke … it was 52 … ) for a recording of today’s celebration. We have said recordings, but it will take a few days to get them processed and up on the site. We will also have some CDs.

Enjoy the rest of the day with your family … and make a difference in the World.

We are not one to spread rumors! As the GoodBook says, Golde, a “gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.” (Proverbs 11:13) Okay … Okay … Okay! Say it! I am not very trustworthy …

Now that I am fully convicted, rumor has it that a little MediaMonkey will be at Woodbine Church tomorrow … so you better get there early to get your back row seat … you don’t want to be stuck at the front with the Pastor’s Family.

A number of you who don’t live in these parts have asked for a copy of the article. You can see it online here.

But this story is a lot like a LoveNote. Sure, it’s nice to get an email from a secret admirer if you are single or your spouse if you are married … but there’s nothing like the real thing … the letter with pictures, handwritten note, and stinkum sprayed on the paper … That’s the real thing. Well here is the RealThing for you Out-of-Towners. Let us know if you want us to send you a real, RealThing in the mail.

Many of you are asking for the time and location of Dad’s “return-to-the-pulpit” sermon. Well, here it is:

Woodbine Cumberland Presbyterian Church

3016 Nolensville Road

Nashville, TN 37211
