Tonight started off no different than any other Friday night really. My fiance came home from work, we went and walked around the mall for a while just to talk and spend some time together, and we discussed where we might want to go out to dinner tonight. We like to go out to dinner on Friday nights when it is financially possible; it’s kind of like our “date night.” Read more »

As a manager at a local restaurant in Spanish Fort, I knew in my heart it would be there at my place of work that the Lord would send someone to me to bless with the gift received by Pastor last Sunday.
It was storming outside and a Lady walked in to place a carry out order. It consisted of two seafood platters and two ice-teas, one sweet and one unsweet and requested they be marked as such. She told me the dinners were for her parents who were celebrating their 59th wedding anniversary, and her mother was waiting for her in the car to go meet her father. Read more »

I spent the day at the Grand Hotel pool with my children and was on my way back home when my kids started complaining they were starving and nothing but Krystals could satisfy their hunger. I would never have stopped at Kyrstals (do not like it) but did none the less. As I whipped through the drive through a young woman was getting my change ready and asked me if I had any jumper cables. I said “no, I don’t sorry.” Read more »

This is a follow-up to a story I posted a few days ago.

…. the rest of the story. God just keeps surprising me! My mom was visiting BCM this past Sunday and also received an envelope with money in it. On Tuesday she was asking what I did with the money and I told her that I gave it to one of the guys that worked with me. I in turn asked her the same question and she said that she did not know who to give it to, so insisting, she gave her money to me to give away instead. Read more »

I stopped to get gas a few minutes ago, and when I went into pay for it there sat a man on the bench that I know is homeless and is an alcoholic. His family talks very bad about him and has thrown him out on the streets. He looked pretty rough. While I was pumping gas, I thought about the money that the church handed out. I had it in my glove box. I walked up to him and said that I am a member at Bay Community Church and explained to him about the money. Read more »

What a powerfully moving message and gift Pastor Jerry.

I really appreciate the message and especially the idea of waiting
and praying on the subject. I so wanted to just run out and give
my envelope to the nearest and closest charity. But I waited and
prayed. The Lord is awesome.

Last night my ex-wife came to my house to pick up something my
son had left there. Read more »
