“Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Good Tuesday morning from the Pensacola Airport.  I will soon be boarding a flight to Atlanta where I will connect to a flight to Guatemala.  As usual for me, I am going a couple of days ahead of our team in order to get things ready.  Plus, I have four excellent reasons to have a couple of extra days.  I have one good reason to not go early but the four excellent trump that one.  Lord willing, I have an important meeting tonight and then at least one more before the team arrives.  Pray that all goes well.

Dana Taylor’s father remains hospitalized.  He had a test/procedure yesterday morning but I do not know the results.  Just keep praying.

We had a member of the Friendship family in the hospital over the weekend.  I was told they were being discharged yesterday morning.

I have had two prayer requests shared with me in recent days that are not ready for broadcast yet.  Pray for those involved in these situations.

We are on a regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening.  Bro. Jerry Hovel will be preaching/teaching in my absence.  I pray that the members of the Friendship family will be faithful.

Evangelist Michael Mason will be our special guest this Sunday, June 24.  He will be preaching in all three of our services.  I certainly hope and pray that the members of the Friendship family will attend these services.  We will receive a love offering for Bro. Michael in all three services.  Please pray, attend, and give as the Lord leads.

Yesterday was a marathon day for me as there was much to do before leaving today.  I packed everything on Saturday and was ahead in the game.  Not so fast my friend!  I only received like one hundred packages Sunday and yesterday.  Last night was about deciding what goes and what stays.  Lisa demanded that I mow the yard even though I had just mowed it on Friday – she is a real slave driver!

I did preside over nine funerals Sunday night and yesterday.  Rodents had taken up residence in my chicken coop so I fed them a little something.  It has worked so far.  I have passed the baton to Luke Green until I return home.  Brad killed one of my chickens while I was in London so I did not trust him this time.

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