October Activities
 
      On October 4th, I left for Lubbock, Texas to participate in the annual lectureship at the Southside Church of Christ. This was the fourth time I had the privilege to speak on this lectureship. It was great to see many old friends and to make some new friends as well. Thanks to Tom and Sue Hicks for the great work they do in this effort with the cooperation of all of the members at Southside. The theme of the lectureship was “Male and Female Created He Them.” I appreciate the hospitality shown to me while I was in Lubbock.
 
      On October 12th, I had the privilege to present two lessons at the Chestnut Mountain congregation. I always appreciate the chance to preach the gospel to the congregation that oversees my work. During the last quarter of this year, I am sharing the teaching of the auditorium class at Chestnut Mountain. Ron Cope and I are sharing the duties.
 
      Before my next speaking appointment at the Southeast Georgia Lectures in Richmond Hill, Georgia, I worked on finalizing the lessons I would be presenting in Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia during my next overseas trip beginning November 12th.
 
     It was a privilege to have a part in the lectureship in Richmond Hill. Thanks to Riley Nelson and the brethren there for inviting me to speak. It was good to get to hear a number of other speakers discussing the first eight chapters of the Book of Romans.
