Odem

Went to Odem, TX this weekend, had a blast. First I left to pick up my boy Johnny from school, while I was waiting to pick him up, I asked the lady there if a noncustodial parent would be able to receive my sons report card, she told me yes which was so great. I saw my son walking to me, & he actually smiled. Came home picked up the family then left, got to Odem about 6pm. We had a great fellowship, with the Yanez family also with the Laccardis (i pronounce it Lashardi). Well we stayed up till like 2 am, then got up for visitation by 10am, I got to go with Bro. Paul Laccardi (don't even know if I'm spelling that right, he he. Man Bro. Paul is a praying man, so full of the Holy Ghost, I was ashamed of my Christianity, of where I need to be. Then they had there fall festival, i got to help out i ran a team we came in last, boo. then again we stayed up a little late again, I had to preach to the teenagers, i thought i went pretty good, We had a good sermon, holy spirit was not quenched in the services HE still showed up, Amen. Then Bro. Paul asked me if i was going to preach for him that night, he had already asked me, but i was intimidated by him, What can i preach on that he cant do better, was my thought. Well i made excuses that Johnny had to be back to go to school the next day. I was fighting all by myself on the way home. My wife asked me what the matter was, I had no peace about leaving, my heart was literally hurting. She asked if i was alright due to the fact i was going like 10 miles per hour slower than the speed limit. I mean if you know me you know how I drive. Next thing i know i was in Robstown, going under the freeway doing a u-turn on my way back to Odem, TX. I preached last night all i can say God is so good, it was all God. Then we had some fellowship at the nearest Dairy Queen, left home about 9 pm, it is a 2 hour drive to get home. Dropped Johnny of then came home, I was on fire stayed up till 1 - 1:30am reading my bible, just getting into Glory, Oh how wish you could experience the Glory HE has just for us. And that was my weekend in Odem Texas.
