Between being on shift and Denise's surgery and the long road of recovery, we've been laying low of late. This past Sunday, though, we headed to Lighthouse Baptist Church, in Toney for service and Sunday school. I've known Brother Randy Watts for close to fifteen years and count him as one of my closest and dearest friends. One of the few men I'd feel comfortable calling in the middle of the night, if there was a need. Bro. Randy has a true servant's heart and his love for the Lord is obvious.
Lighthouse was the church where Denise and I served in our early married years. The church was newly started -- about a year old -- and Bro. Randy was the pastor who, along with several men of faith, birthed this church into being.
Today, more than sixteen years later, Lighthouse has a thriving church body and programs that truly minister to the life and need of the community. In addition, Brother Randy and Lighthouse have played a tremendous role in bringing the new HEALS clinic to Madison Cross Roads Elementary. This clinic sees to both the medical and dental needs of children in the community who otherwise might not receive care.
Sunday, Denise and I arrived for the 10:00 worship service. The praise team was warmed up and ready and led us through several of our favorite hymns. Brother Randy preached out of the last chapter of 1 Timothy, on the sovereignty of God. He also gave Denise a little good-spirited ribbing about her "Roll Tide" cast, but I think she gave as good as she got!
From worship, Denise headed on into the Ladies I Sunday school class. There was also two couples classes -- one for the younger couples and one for the older couples. Lighthouse also has a Sunday School session that begins at 9:00 for adults post-55. As always, we enjoyed our morning and the fellowship at LBC.
