REMEMBER
It was the Veteran, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It was the Veteran, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It was the Veteran, not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to demonstrate.
It was the Veteran, who salutes the flag,
who served under the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Privilege of Preaching. The elders here have permitted me to
preach two gospel meetings this year. One was in Murfreesboro
last January. The more recent one was in Maryville, TN, for the
Nelson’s Chapel Church of Christ. They supported me
financially when I was a student at the East TN School of
Preaching in the late 1970’s. On the last night of the gospel
meeting, I preached on heaven. After the service, a twelve year
old boy thanked me for the sermon. “I have Tourette’s
Syndrome. When I get to Heaven, will I still have Tourette’s
Syndrome?” Tourette’s is a neurological disorder that causes
involuntary muscle twitches or sounds. I said, “No. You will
not have Tourette’s because God will give you a perfect body.”
He smiled and said, “That will be very good!”
A Generous Church. It is wonderful how generous you are
with your time, talents, and treasure. Recently you contributed
more than $11,000 for Camp Leatherwood to help rebuild
Mosley Hall that burned in February. Thank you for your love
for the Lord and for your love for children.
Congregational Meal & Meeting. On December 11th after
morning services, the eldership would like for the church to
have a family meal together. Afterward, the elders wish to have
a family meeting where the budget, plans and calendar in 2017
will be discussed.
