TUESDAY, 2/5/08
I apologize for not posting an entry yesterday but it was Monday all day long for me! I had great intentions but. . . . Yesterday was Hien’s 16th birthday which we actually celebrated last Thursday night with her surprise party.
Vaughn Womack had a tough weekend but seems to be on the way back up now. Things are pretty much going just as the doctor had told him they would. Wendy Johnston remains in the hospital as they cannot get her blood levels correct. Carla Felps received her first chemo treatment yesterday. She was scheduled to get one treatment a week for three weeks but they mistakenly gave her the equivalent of three treatments yesterday. This will work but it just makes life tougher on Carla. Pray for these folks!
Becky Hatcher is leading a crew today that will be making gourmet apples. In my opinion, no one in the world makes a better gourmet apple than the ladies from Friendship. There are still some apples available for sale with all of the proceeds going to help defray the cost for our high school or college students taking part in one of our GRACE mission trips this summer. We could use help today and/or Thursday in the preparation of these apples.
We will begin at 9:00AM unloading a container from Birmingham onto the container located on our back property. Plans then call for the contents of that container to be shipped to Guatemala in short order. That’s the plan! If you can come help us this morning, that will be great!
Ken Freeman will be with us beginning this Sunday, 2/10. I had thought that Seraph was going to be here for a couple of those services but there has been a conflict and that isn’t going to happen. I ask you to pray fervently for these services!
Happy birthday wishes go to Rhea (Rhea, Rhea to me) Wilkinson today as she celebrates number seventeen! Also, Matt & Ross DeYoung from Michigan are celebrating their 18th birthday today so best wishes to the DeYoung twins too!
I realize many of you are probably thinking of Morris Bryant & me as American heroes after our dramatic rescue this past weekend but we are just ordinary guys. My estimates may be off a bit but that bank appeared to be 1,000 feet steep, the water 300 feet deep, and the rapids were racing at 50 miles per hour! No fanfare please! LOL!
I hope you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus!
