FRIDAY, 12/29/17

“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10

The person who had the test/procedure done in the hospital yesterday did well and was discharged in the afternoon.  I visited and they were still in the hospital somewhere but I never could find the family after being sent on a couple of wild goose chases.  (For the record, I have never actually chased a goose – wild or tame so I really do not know what that is like)  Glad all is well with the patient.

I visited with Ted Ezell yesterday afternoon and was encouraged.  He now has a sitter with him each day, was sitting in a chair and was able to communicate verbally.  He is very, very soft spoken but is mentally alert.

How about this weather?  Yesterday was a great day weather wise for me!  I am pretty excited about the long range forecast as one website is calling for South Mobile County to have six consecutive nights (beginning Sunday night) with lows in the twenties and the seventh night the low being thirty two.  The high during those days will be forty nine!  I think that I am correct in saying that, if true, this will be the first time in years since we were that cold for such an extended period of time.  I am not praying for it to be true but I sure am not praying that it will not be true.  I like it!

Recently, when I returned home from Guatemala I was offended before I ever reached our house.  As we passed by Arby’s in Grand Bay their sign read, “pork belly is back!”  My first thought was, “who told them I was coming home today?”  So, I decided to watch my calorie intake.  This morning I stepped on the scales and I had lost over one hundred pounds – nice!  I was excited!  Lisa did not share my excitement as she said, “go look in the mirror!”  She then informed me that the scales were weighing in kilograms instead of pounds.  Yep, leave it to the proverbial “Debbie Downer” to ruin my excitement!

Gina arrived home safe and sound yesterday afternoon around 4:00PM.   Soy, Deidra and the girls drove from Fort Worth, TX to the Memphis, TN area yesterday afternoon/evening and arrived there safe and sound too.  Which is worse – being in Texas or being in Tennessee?  That is a great question!  I am thankful our family had traveling mercies yesterday.

Titus spent the night with us last night.  Lisa is making me wake him up early in order for him to go with me to buy groceries.  I explained that he likes to sleep late because school is out and she just gave me that look!  Guys, you know THAT look!  So, Titus and I will brave the elements in order to keep Lisa happy!

Remember, one service at Friendship this Sunday – 10:30AM only!  Pass the word.

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