“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:12-15 (NASB)
Visited with Miss Dollie Trout yesterday morning and will do the same today. Her situation basically remains the same. Bob & Laura are faithfully remaining by her side 24/7. Keep praying.
Larry Whitehurst left yesterday traveling to Jacksonville for tests and consultations. Pray for Larry to get good reports.
Ethan & Brittney will meet with the funeral directors today to make the arrangements for the visitation with the family and the celebration of life service for Charleigh. Pray for them as they take this next step in this painful journey. I should be able to post the completed arrangements at some point late this afternoon.
We have had Ellen Creal’s name on our prayer list for months. She passed from this life last Friday. There will be a visitation at Serenity Funeral Home tomorrow from 11:00AM until the noon service time. Pray for the family.
Eddie Hall’s mother, Miss Jimmie Hall, passed from this life this past Sunday morning. There will be a visitation/graveside service in the Grand Bay cemetery tomorrow from 3:00 – 4:00PM. Pray for Eddie, Mary, Jamie, Jessica and the family.
Pastor Fred Wolfe’s wife, Anne, passed from this life last Friday. There will be a visitation with the family this Friday and a service on Saturday. Everything will take place at Luke 4:18 Fellowship. Pray for Bro. Fred and family.
We are on a regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening.
Bro. Abel, the youth group and some others went roller skating last night in Grand Bay. I think they enjoyed themselves.
If the weather folks are correct, today should be a cloudy day, tomorrow a partly cloudy day and then we should have three almost picture perfect days of weather. Beginning tomorrow night we should see lows of 36, 34, 39 & 43. If you are like me and enjoy the cooler temperatures then you had better enjoy these because they may very well be the last cool ones this calendar year. By cool I mean temperatures in the thirties.
If you plan on joining us for the December 1 – 8, 2020 GRACE Ministries mission trip to Guatemala then please send me an e-mail (pastor@friendshipfamily.net) soon. This includes folks within the Friendship family and all others. Pass the word.
Scott Cochran left the Alabama football team yesterday and is now with the Georgia football team. He reportedly left without even addressing the Alabama team. I have often wondered why men cannot be men in situations like this? Man up! Same applies in church life. Kirby left Alabama and has been trying to raid their program ever since. Not good. Same applies in church life. I just find it interesting. I grew up in a day when men were men and a man’s word was his bond. That day has apparently passed!
Bibbi is upset with me as she did not want folks to know that she is older than Joey. Really? Like we could not tell! Just saying!
Have you ever seen the BYU Cougars football field in Provo, Utah? Nice setting.
Someone else has a meeting with their employer today to seriously discuss their retirement. I wish them well regardless of their decision.
Yes, I am totally aware of the situation within the Southern Baptist Convention as it relates to the ERCL. Keeping a close eye on it and am thankful to Pastor Joe David Bailey for his insights and information.
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
