The Friendship family is blessed as we presently have no one in the hospital.  That is a good thing and we give God the praise!

However, I do want to note that we have several members who are battling physical afflictions which bring much pain.  Remember to pray for one another.

We are on a regular schedule this Sunday, 4/15.  We will observing the ordinance of baptism in our 10:30AM service and our 6:00PM service.  Those being baptized in the evening service are asked to meet in the office at 5:30PM.

Lisa and the girls made it home last night just in time as I was nearly famished thanks to the uncaring girls in our Sunday School class!  LOL!

Props to Charles Clark for taking care of getting my tiller repaired.  (Can you believe he charged me for taking it to the shop and then picking it up?  Plus, he charged me a fuel surcharge even though the gas prices have fallen ever so slightly in the past couple of days – wow!)  I was able to till over half of my garden late yesterday afternoon.  I have to do some prep work before finishing today as the remaining area is new ground.

True story – I was busily tilling the garden yesterday afternoon.  Where is Soy?  Sitting beside the pool which is probably seventy five feet away playing with a bubble machine!  Having Soy around is like losing three good men!

I do not plan on posting any more entries until Monday, 4/16.  I hope to be joined by many members of the Friendship family for our services.  Lord willing, I will be preaching in the 8:00AM, 10:30AM, and 6:00PM services.  I do not think I am preaching the 2:00PM but will if need be.

I pray that you will have a great weekend with Jesus.

Our Wednesday was good – glory to God!  Our morning service was well attended and they even sat near the front.  We had a pretty good attendance in the evening service but they were Baptist to the bone!  LOL!

Our “Not A Fan” study went well last night too.  I encourage any young adult to consider joining us for this Bible study.  We meet at 8:00PM on Wednesdays.  Lisa & Deidra provide food too and it is always good!

Miss Betty Taylor had surgery yesterday and they think everything was a success.  They will await the pathology report and she will be in the hospital for a few days.

Rusty Suthoff and Caryn Hyatt are engaged!  It happened last Saturday!  I cannot believe “C” finally got up the nerve to ask him!  Rumor has it their wedding date is May 26 but you cannot believe everything you hear/read!

The Flyers beat the Penguins in OT last night in the playoffs – are you serious!  Pitt has the most talented team in the NHL!  The Predators beat the Red Wings?  Wow, that means Tim Mast is officially in mourning today!

I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
