Trivia is defined as ” details, considerations, or pieces of information of little importance or value.”

The word’s etymology (the study of the origin of words and the way in which their meanings have changed throughout history) clearly has a Greek background. Where “etumos” is one of their words for “truth.” In my opinion a word’s “etymology” probably gives its “true” meaning, in its beginning at least.

Well, here is a bit of trivia I just discovered.

Only one State in the United States is pronounced with just one syllable! Can you guess it?

It is (way up in the northeast) MAINE!

We know some precious missionaries there. In Maine, Brother John Wilson and his family. (Field of Grace Baptist Church in Brownfield.) They are doing a great work for our Lord, too.

All that to say this.

Leaving tomorrow morning, we will be driving to next week’s Revival. In a three-syllable State! Beginning Sunday morning through Wednesday night I will be preaching at the First Baptist Church in Meredosia, ILLINOIS!

Could we ask you to pray for us, please?

For safety on the highways, liberty preaching, and God’s Word to be honored! For fruit to be borne to the Glory of our dear Lord.

Yes!

Pray for the Wilsons in MAINE!

And the Bagwells in ILLINOIS!

Thank you in advance.
