October greetings! I mentioned last month that I discovered I had inguinal hernias. I saw the surgeon, and he recommended I get them repaired. So, I had a third surgery in just two years on October 2 to get that done. Afterward, he said it was a good decision because the left side was a large double hernia and the right side was an even larger hernia. I now have two new scars, but the recovery is going well thanks to a lot of ice packs, and, of course, to God’s grace to me. Thank you to all who prayed!
We rejoiced
this past month on September 22 with my future daughter-in-law, Brandi, as she
publicly declared her faith in Jesus and was baptized. You can go to her
church’s YouTube channel at Sunday Morning
Service 09/22/2024 and listen
to her testimony (starting at about 39:30).
The final event
to report on this month was my barbershop chorus’s participation in our
district’s annual Contest on September 28. We didn’t do really well, but
we had fun, and I’m glad I got to be a part of it. We sang an upbeat song
called It’s a Brand New Day, and then the slower song Georgia On My
Mind, which I’m sure a lot of you have heard before. Ray Charles did
a famous version of it. Here’s the big question about Georgia that
we debated in our chorus: Was it written about the state of Georgia or a
woman named Georgia? If you look up that question online, you’ll find
both answers coming from the author of the lyrics and the composer of the
music, so who really knows. We just know that it wasn’t written about the
country of Georgia in Eastern Europe.
I guess that’s
it for October, so we’ll talk again, Lord willing, in November.
