Muskogee
This morning the room was ready and waiting to praise the Lord. "Jesus Is truth!" That was the focus this morning. We raised our hands and voices in praise. Yes, Jesus Is Lord!

Broken Arrow
We had our largest group at this facility today. We are also using a larger list of hymns. Do you remember singing, "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart." We sang that this morning and the looks on faces were amazing. It was like they were kids again. We are definitely having a good time in the nursing homes. Strengthening The Saved & Saving The Lost.

Muskogee/Tahlequah
It is a real honor to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. This morning in Muskogee residents were in the meeting room and waiting for the service to begin. We have become family. After the service, a woman came to me asking how she could take communion? (It's a wonderful thing to see people growing in the Lord.) We talked for a little bit and she became excited about taking communion every day. Praise the Lord. Now it's on to Tahlequah.

We pressed in to worship this morning. Everyone was ready to praise the Lord. "Jesus Is The Sweetest Name I Know."

Tulsa/Cleveland
The Lord continues to do some amazing work in these facilities. The residents were noticeably blessed and this morning some of the staff were there. I had an extensive conversation with one of the staff members who was overwhelmed with the hymns we used. They brought tears to her eyes as she remembered growing up with these hymns: Standing On The Promises, Nothing But The Blood, etc. We continue to Strengthen The Saved & Save The Lost.

Muskogee
This morning everyone was very attentive. How did I know? I began to close the service with prayer while I was looking around. (You know the bible says, "watch and pray".) Every head in the room was down - residents, staff, and visitors. All work and visiting had stopped. When I finished praying several began to clap. I learned something. Everyone was listening. Some were not churchgoers. We were reaching the lost.

Muskogee/Haskell
I always enjoy memory units. As we began to sing the old hymns you could see the residents "wake up". What I mean by that is they would smile, begin to speak and enjoy being together. Most of the time these residents sit stoically. They do not show any emotion. At the close of the service, one woman was playing the table. (She used to play the piano and organ.) Many were singing and very, very happy. Yes, Lord, we are bringing joy to these nursing care facilities.

Barnsdall/Bartlesville
This service was a great way to start a Tuesday. We looked at the words of Jesus where he said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." It's so good to know, 1) we never have to be lost. 2) We can always know the truth. And 3) we can have eternal life.
As I entered a McDonalds in Bartlesville I saw a homeless woman sitting in a corner trying to stay warm. I asked her if she had had anything to eat. She said, "no". It just seemed like I should get her some food. She ordered a pancake breakfast and a burrito. I couldn't tell how old she was because she looked pretty rough. She could have been about my age. There was no smile and no thanks but that's OK. The joy comes from being led of the Lord!
