MONDAY, 6/13/11
God is good! He blessed and we had a wonderful day yesterday. We welcome Tanner Adkinson and Tyleena Owens into the Friendship family. Tanner came by letter and Tyleena came desiring baptism. God gives the increase and we give Him the glory.
Our VBS 2011 is now history. The family night service was good. I appreciate all of those folks who helped in any way this year. FYI, VBS 2012 is scheduled for Monday, 6/4, through Friday, 6/8, with the family night taking place on Sunday evening, 6/10.
Scott McLean’s son, Austin, had an emergency appendectomy yesterday morning. He did fine through the surgery and is now recovering. Louise Morris will meet with the doctors today to schedule gall bladder surgery. Lewis Jackson is still recovering from his procedure of last Friday.
If you were in either of our morning services yesterday then you know about the happenings in Guatemala with the team from Tennessee. Pray that all of that can be resolved today and God will use this trial to be a blessing.
I am scheduled to fly out this afternoon for El Salvador/Guatemala. I will fly into Guatemala and then drive to El Salvador tomorrow morning in order to meet with the committee members regarding the GRACE Ministries pastors’ conference in October. We will meet tomorrow afternoon and Wednesday morning and I will then go back to Guatemala in order to get ready for our first GRACE team of the summer as they arrive Thursday.
Six of us went fishing this past Friday night/Saturday morning. We did not catch anything but hardtails and shark during the night as we were fishing for tuna. We did limit out on snapper in about twenty five minutes Saturday morning on our way back to the island. Why no success on Friday night? Two words – Johnny Ladnier! He is young and has potential but he just is not there yet! Hopefully, he can go with me again and I can bring him along slowly.
Waiting on daybreak so I can hit the garden. Our peas and corn are going to come in while I am out of the country – poor, poor planning on my part! Lisa will be in charge and will do fine!
I plan on blogging via this space through Thursday. I will do an additional entry on the GRACE blog space beginning Friday. Pray for us!
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
