Pierepoint Ponderings: April 2009

Saturday, April 11, 2009

After having been gone in meetings for several weeks, I have enjoyed being home for a few days.
This past week I celebrated my 75th birthday . To make this a special occasion, we met as as family in Savannah, Georgia for a couple of days. What a fascinating city! While I am not quite
as old as John Wesley, I think I saw his foot prints on these beautiful grounds. At least I saw his statue and the buildings dedicated in his honor.

I will be leaving Tues. for the Dayton Convention, and from there on to Idaho for two revival engagements.

Again, I want to thank the Quesenberry team for their blogging assistance. The Lord willing,
Valorie will also be helping me in doing publishing work....if she doesn't charge too much.

I deeply appreciate all my "Blogging comments" from my friends who have "tuned- in'.
And, most importantly, I am grateful , indeed, to all of you who are remembering me in prayer as I minister to others.

Pierpointponderings:
A layman is someone who lays in bed Sunday morning instead of going to Church.

S.S.Teacher: Now, who decreed that all the world should be taxed?
Student: The Democrats

1st Church member: I thought the sermon was divine. It reminded me of the peace of God.
It passed all understanding.

2nd Member: I though it reminded me of the mercies of God.
I thought it would endure forever.

Hope to see some of you along the trail. P/P

Retirement Reception for Dr. Norman Wilson....

Dr. Norman Wilson was the speaker on the Wesleyan Hour, a nationally known radio broadcast, for over 30 years. It was an honor to be invited to be a part of the reception in the Fall of 2008.

Norman and I had been friends for years, since our boyhood days in Albany, New York. I was able to share a few remarks and gave the benediction.

In the two photos below are Dr. Norman Wilson and his wife Nancy....
