SATURDAY, 7/18/15
Today’s Bible reading – 1 Chronicles 26:12-27:34 Romans 4:13-5:5 Psalm 14:1-7 Proverbs 19:17
As far as I know, Robert Baria did well through his surgery yesterday. The surgery was finished whenever I left the hospital but the doctor had not come out to talk to the family.
Brian Amonett was doing “better” the last I heard from Bill & Debbie. His parents went home last night to get some rest as they have been staying at the hospital day and night.
I assume that Eula Mae came home from rehab yesterday.
Visited ever so briefly with Rusty yesterday afternoon and he is doing good. Was walking in the house without his crutches. Not doing good enough to help mow but doing good. Mentioned something about his car needing to be washed – are you serious!
Tony Tripp is now officially a Mobile Police Officer – let that sink in for a minute! I was there when he and eighteen others graduated and took the oath. His first day on the job is Monday. Congratulations to Tony! (Getting to the graduation on time was the reason I had to leave the hospital as I was intent on not missing this big day in Tony’s life) From this point forward, Tony will be known as #54 to me!
Ann Clark is doing well. Marlene Broome cooked a delicious supper last night. We just happened to stop by and enjoyed the meal too. It was complimented by a pineapple salad made by Karla Cooper. I tell you what would really help Ann in her recovery – a cheesecake from Hope’s Cheesecake in Gulf Shores – just saying!
We have several folks from the Friendship family fishing in the rodeo on the Island. I checked the leaderboard this morning and did not see any of our folks listed. What is up with that? (Surely no members of the Friendship family will stay on the Island and miss our services tomorrow? Katie Tillman has breakfast in SS – just a reminder!)
Wow, a pretty strong storm rolled through here yesterday afternoon. I only have a little actual mowing to do today but now I will spend the first hour or so picking up pecan limbs. After the mowing, the weed eater is calling my name.
Regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening. I hope many members of the Friendship family will join us for the services, Sunday School and Discipleship Training.
I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
