TUESDAY, 10/14/14 (SECOND POST)

I failed to mention in today’s earlier post that we need to pray for Maxine Ervin Dupont’s  grandson, Jerome, and his wife, Bailey.  They live in Texas and were expecting the birth of a child next week.  The baby passed away in the womb and they are now in the process of trying to have the delivery without doing surgery.  Obviously, this couple and family need our prayers.

On a much brighter note, Vinnie’s great grandson, Case, recently was discharged from the hospital.  Amen!  Thank you for praying for him!

I was scheduled to fly out of Gulfport this morning but one of the Delta employees was kind enough to move me to Mobile due to the stormy weather.  I am grateful.  I thank God for favor.

I do have exciting news.  It appears our blog readership is up to maybe thirteen or fourteen!  Wow, that means we are averaging two folks per year!  My goal is to reach twenty readers by June 30, 2015!  We can do it!

TUESDAY, 10/14/14

Today’s Bible reading – Jeremiah 23:21-25:38 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 Psalm 84:1-12 Proverbs 25:15

Ever sense the Holy Spirit is speaking directly to you?  I was really spoken to very sternly yesterday morning regarding this blog.  Said that it would not be fair to the eleven readers who depend on it daily to know how to pray for folks within the Friendship family.  Said that it is a good means of communication which allows members of the Friendship family to know most of what is happening within the body of believers.  Said I cannot just quit after seven years and eight months of blogging.  Said a lot more that I will not go into for various reasons.  At any rate, I decided that I did not want to “cut bait” but would rather fish so here it is!

C was not able to receive her third chemotherapy treatment yesterday due to a low blood count.  She received some potassium before coming home yesterday (I do not know why she does not simply eat her mama’s banana nut bread for potassium?).  She goes for a shot each day this week and then, hopefully, she will receive a chemo treatment next Monday, 10/20.  She has every intention of being in the 10:30AM service this Sunday, 10/19.

Jody Johnson remains hospitalized as far as I know.  Has an infection from her recent surgery.

Kevin Sprinkle’s brother, Archie, is in the hospital in Texas.  Has a couple of problems with one of them being pneumonia.

William & Amber Sessions are set to welcome Oliver William Sessions into this world today.  I do not know the details but do say congratulations to this couple and the entire family.

Missionary/evangelist Danny Lafferty will have surgery on his leg (infected) this Thursday, 10/16.

Bags of wrapped candy are needed for the Hallelujah Festival (10/31).  Receptacles in the foyer of the auditorium and the fellowship hall.

Work day on Saturday, 11/1, beginning with breakfast at 7:00AM.  We need to get ready for the “winter” in South Mobile County.  You know where it sometimes can drop to as low as forty degrees – burr!  All hands will be needed that day for a few hours.

Big day this Sunday, 10/19, in our 10:30AM service.  We will focus on “hope” as hear from ladies who have hope in their battle against cancer.  Our own Carla Felps Kyser and Courtney Hubbard from Ocean Springs, MS will be sharing with us during that service.  Jeanette Bates, Brad Hutto and Randall & Rita Broome will all be singing specials.  I am asking folks to forego the 8:00AM service and attend the 10:30AM service even though we are having the 8:00AM service.  You are asked to, if possible, wear pink or whatever color you choose symbolizing the fight against a particular cancer.

O by the way, it was my wife who nailed me yesterday morning about the blog.  We had to go to Mobile and she hammered me basically all the way there and back – I have never been so glad to see the Grand Bay exit sign!  So, if you are glad to be reading this blog entry you can send her a note of thanks at lisa@lisaturrentine.com.  I have often said that I am married to the Holy Spirit and it sure felt like it yesterday!  (Plus, Katie Tillman owes me big time too!)

I leave early AM today headed to Guatemala for the pastors’ conference.  Everyone else is already there.  I will do my best to keep the blog going this week although it is a little more difficult when I am not in town.  Bro. Jerry is good about sending me updates which allows me to pass those on to you.  Pray for these men as they lead the conference – Eddie Burdette, Doug Chappelle, Abel Garcia, David Jones, Mark Mast, Terry Rainey & Johnny Tucker.  Thank you for supporting this conference with your prayers and your finances.

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