UPDATE

Daphne Patterson called this morning to tell us that her aunt, Sandy Atchison, passed away around 6:00AM today.  Sandy has been in and out of the hospitals/intensive care units a lot over the past couple of years and has seemingly been near death several other times.  She was only 53 years old.  Pray for the Atchison family during this time of sorrow.

WEDNESDAY, 3/12/08

I had the opportunity yesterday to visit with Idice Reeves and James Swann in the hospital.  Miss Idice seemingly recognizes me but is unable to communicate verbally.  Mr. Swann is Martha Patrick’s brother.  My  visit with him was very short as they were taking him for a test but he did know who I was.  Marilyn Thomas’ mother was moved to a rehab center yesterday and Phyllis Bush’s mother remains hospitalized.  Daphne Patterson’s aunt, Sandy Atchison, was admitted to a local hospital yesterday and is in an intensive care unit.  Miss Exie Woods continues her rehab and Carla Kyser is still taking her treatments.  Pray for these folks! 

By the way, I wanted to say “thank you” to Jim Sciple for being at the hospital with Carl & Connie during her surgery on Monday.  Friendship is blessed with some wonderful people who really know how to minister to the body of Christ!  Jim is a great guy even if he does bleed orange and blue! 

One of the guys presently in Guatemala has made one blog entry about their trip.  You can read it at www.douginguatemala.blogspot.com.  I think he is a student at UAB.

You probably noticed the picture of the flowers posted below this entry.  I am computer illiterate so I have to thank my wife, Lisa, and my computer guru, Chris Taylor, for getting this picture on the site for all to see.  What’s the story?  Well, as “they say” I just happened to stop by the oil change place late yesterday afternoon and there was Joey Switzer sitting behind the counter grinning from ear to ear as he looked at this vase of flowers with a balloon attached.  It seems they had just been delievered.  The balloon had the words “miss you” written on it.  I looked at the card and it simply said “Troy” which could be a town in Alabama, the university, or a person – I am clueless!  At any rate, Joey seemed happy but rumor has it that Mitchel and Dewayne are “hurt!”  Those silly boys!

We are on a regular schedule today with our first service this morning at 10:00AM.  I hope each member of the Friendship family will join us for one of the services/Bible studies today and/or tonight. 

I saw Carl Bradley yesterday afternoon and forgot to wish him a happy birthday – sorry Carl!  Josh Woods and Aaron Burnett are both celebrating their birthday today so happy birthday guys! 

Bret, I will call you after lunch today.  Eric, just keep ignoring my e-mail messages!  Ditto for Queen!  T. Garrett – you alive?  Pastor Travis – what’s up? 

I hope you will have a great Wednesday with Jesus.
