FRIDAY, 5/6/11
Marisa Felps sent me an e-mail last night with a good news/bad news report on Carla Kyser. Good news is that the scans showed no new cancer – praise the Lord! Bad news is that she did not receive a chemo treatment. Why? Carla is dealing with severe pain in her lower back. Very severe. Doctors say it could be kidney stones or it could be a compression on some nerves. She will have a MRI this afternoon. Pray for the pain to lessen or to disappear all together. Pray that the doctors can find the source of this pain. Praise God for the good news!
JLo has surgery this morning. That would be Jay Logan Hatcher. Pray for him but also pray for Ryan & Kayla along with the grandmothers. Becky is so looking forward to sitting in the surgical waiting room with me! (Logan has “good grandmother/bad grandmother”)
I will check on Chuck Rockwell today while I am at the hospital for Logan’s surgery. Bro. Jerry saw him yesterday but I did not talk to him after he returned to the office.
Word came to me last night that Donald Butler’s father is sick. I do not know the details but do ask that you pray for him. Donald & Pat own/operate The Butler’s Florist in Grand Bay.
I made a mistake in yesterday’s entry. The baby’s name is Breton Kreuze. Grandmother “Queen” Genzink chewed me out about that one! She needs to calm down! Folks do make mistakes. Can I help it that I have never heard that name before? Name him “Soy” or something else easy to spell – please!
Today is Miss Lucine Bryant’s 90th birthday. Lisa and I had a delightful visit with her yesterday. We were invited to her party that takes place tomorrow but opted to go spend some private time with her instead (kept us from having to take a gift since it was not “officially” her party). Happy 90th birthday to Miss Lucine. Her sister, Miss Annie Rogers, will celebrate her 97th birthday later this month. I normally do not mention birthdays on this blog b/c folks get their feelings hurt if I miss one. However, if you turn 90 years old and I know it then I will wish you a happy birthday. (Myrtle Bowden will reach that milestone this July! I hope I can remember it then!)
Parent/child dedication this Sunday, 5/8, in our 10:30AM service. This Sunday evening’s service could be the beginning of something “big” in the life of the Friendship family. By the way, Manolo & Mildred Padilla will not be in our evening service. We are trying to get Kevin & Rita Vice to stand in their place!
I read where the government of Japan donated 8,000 blankets and 150 large sheets of plastic to help the tornado victims in the USA. I realize that is not a “huge” donation from a government but I thought it was pretty cool considering they are still recovering from the earthquakes and tsunami.
Remember, we will receive an offering this Sunday, 5/8, to help with the tornado relief work in North Alabama. All of our gifts will be channeled through Danville Baptist Church and will go directly to victims of the tornadoes.
Also read where the UN is questioning the recent actions by the Navy SEALS. Do not even get me started!
A team from Capshaw Baptist (Huntsville, AL area) arrived at the L.G. Camp, Jr. Mission House yesterday. Pray that they will have a blessed week of ministry. Believe it or not, our 2012 team schedule is filling up really fast – praise the Lord!
Bryant’s baseball team plays in the third round of the state playoffs today. We wish them well in their quest to win a state title!
I pray that you will have a great weekend with Jesus. Go to church this Sunday!
