TUESDAY, 8/5/08
I had the opportunity to visit Shirley Bosarge in the hospital yesterday afternoon. She is still weak and continues to need many prayers. I ask that you join me in praying for her, John Wayne, and the family.
I failed to mention yesterday morning that Gene Davis was having surgery on his knee yesterday. This procedure took place in Houston and it appears related to a possible staph infection. Gena has been suffering from migraine headaches. Pray for Gene & Gena.
My message Sunday focused on “Back to the Basics” and I am working on that in my personal life. Yesterday, I attended the Mobile Baptist Association’s Pastors’ Conference which is a simply a time for the pastors of our association to meet, eat, fellowship, and spend some time in the Word. I had not taken the time to attend one of these meetings in several months. Pastor Charles Gibbs is serving as the President of this conference and is trying to make it an effective time in the lives of the MBA pastors.
Today, my intent is to be in the homes of some our folks who are either homebound or have some other physical problems. If you know of someone in need of a pastoral visit, send me an e-mail at pastor@friendshipfamily.net.
All persons interested in working with AWANA are asked to call the church office or contact Nicole Taylor directly. Our plan is to begin AWANA on Sunday afternoon, September 7, at 4:30PM.
Please pray for Kacy Benson and the student ministy emphasis this weekend. Service times with Kacy will be 7:00PM on Friday, 8:00PM on Saturday, and 10:30AM on Sunday.
Yesterday was a good day as our season tickets to the Bama football games arrived via UPS. Folks like Bret Hart are envious! Pastor Terry Rainey and Pastor Eddie Burdette need to know that in only 25 days we will notch our first victory of the year over those Clemson Tigers!
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
