MONDAY, OCTOBER 22

The Lord blessed and we had a good weekend.  I appreciate Janice Moreland and all of the folks who helped with the meal for the Emma Brewer family.  I also appreciate the folks who came to either the visitation or the funeral service.  Please continue to pray for Jennings and his family. 

We had good services yesterday with folks at the altar during the invitation in all three services.  I was blessed to see Sherry Lee present for the 10:30AM service.  Sherry’s husband, Tim, is the young man who passed away on 10/6 and we were to minister to that family during their time of sorrow.  It was also good to see Jerry Whitmore in attendance after his surgery of last Tuesday.

Bro. J.B. Kelley, Kerry’s dad, was admitted to the hospital yesterday due to an elevated temperature.  He is 89 years old and had a surgical procedure done last week.  The doctors aren’t sure yet exactly what is going on.  Pray for Bro. J.B. and Miss Edith. 

Gary “Cooter” Walton (I had to mention the Cooter name for our out of town i.e. Michigan, Canada, Garrett Wright, readers) and Paul Smith are both scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning.  Willie Pierre had a brother to pass away yesterday morning and those arrangements are incomplete.  Carla Felps Kyser is to see the doctor again this week regarding her cancer.  Karla Cooper and Jennifer Davis’s aunt, Florence Harbison, is not doing so well in her battle against cancer.  Jennifer’s mom, Marie, is discouraged in her treatments too.  Gerald Poiroux’s brother, Buddy, is also not doing well physically.  Please pray for all of the various needs. 

I was very blessed last night as the Friendship family presented me with a check for Pastor Appreciation Month.  (I’ve never had anyone give me a check for $100,000 – still haven’t!)  The gift certainly wasn’t necessary but was appreciated – thank you!  I have said for years that I have the privilege of pastoring some of the finest folks in the world.  Folks in the south end of Mobile County are wonderful and I am blessed to pastor some of them.  After almost 29 years on staff with the last 17 of those being as Pastor, the honey is still in the moon for me!  I thank God for the Friendship family!

I was blessed early Saturday afternoon as Bama “squeaked” out another victory on the football field.  I know that my friend in TN, Bret Hart, probably missed church yesterday and called in sick today but it is just a game!  (Actually, Bret’s Saturday would have been made complete if KY had beaten FL – sorry, Rick Bradley) 

I hope that you will have a great Monday (albeit wet one here) with Jesus!
