OUR ANNIVERSARY DINNER AND JULY 6 CALVARY BAPTIST IN HEMPSTEAD

PICTURES OF OUR 48th ANNIVERSARY DINNER

We really had a good time and appreciate our home church
Texas Ave. Baptist providing the gift that made this a special day for us.

We arrived at Houston's restaurant in Houston about noon.
Norma is patiently waiting on her ribs.

As you can see I am saying oh yeahhhhh!
.

Norma is doing the finger licking good thing

One of our waiters took this picture,
but we should have had him close the blinds

This is all that was left of the best ribs in the world.
We also got an order to go for Norma's Mother Betty

Houston's has really good waiters, this is Marc

and this is Derrick
Both of them got picture tracts from me,

and I am writing their home office
to tell them what a great job they did

JULY 6th SERVICE AT CALVARY BAP. IN HEMPSTEAD, TX

This was Pastor Shelton"s (above) July 4th service on July 6th

It was very patriotic with a good crowd. There would have
Been a lot more, and more saved, but the radio station
did not run the commercials that they paid for and that I had cut.

The children and teens always help with displaying

the flags before the preaching takes place.

Their song leader Lonia Rice does a good job,
and makes great Brisket BBQ, I know I had some.
Pastor Shelton is no amatuer when it comes to BBQ ribs.

There were 2 that came for assurance and 1 for re-dedication
and Pastor Shelton led one lady to the Lord in his office after SS.
One young man raised his hand for salvation, and Bro. Ken will talk to his parents.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Parmer family showing up.
They live in Waller but saw the ad in the Waller Times and
came after their home church service for the afternoon service.

I became acquainted with Ted and Kim about 16 years ago.
Ted is a big John Wayne fan and Kim called me up and had me
surprise Ted by Norma and I going out to dinner with them.
They are a great family that love the Lord and our ministry.
