SATURDAY, 5/9/20
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
The doctors did a MRI on Eddie Albritton, Sr yesterday and determined that he suffered a stroke. They actually took him in for a second MRI with contrast late yesterday afternoon. Eddie & his mother will meet with the doctors this morning for an update. Pray without ceasing.
Stella Brinkman was moved to long term care facility yesterday afternoon. This will allow her to receive more specialized care. Keep praying for Stella.
I messaged Edna Pearl Morgan yesterday afternoon once Cecil told me she was home. She messaged back and said the she was home and resting. Pray for Pearl!
Edna Pearl also told me that Barney Rogers has improved a good bit in his battle against the virus. Hopefully he will be up and about soon. Pray for Barney.
Mary Jackson remains in the hospital. Just keep praying!
Miss Vinnie called last night to say the her son, Buddy, is finished with his treatments. Praise the Lord! Buddy has done well through all of this. Keep praying.
I did not get an update on Decker Terry yesterday. I will do so today.
Tried to call Tom Compagner for an update on Shari but he obviously has caller id.
Carl Ray Moulds and Charlotte Davis will be getting married next Saturday, May 16, at 2:00PM. The Friendship family is invited to attend. As it stands right now, it will be drive in wedding but that could change with the new orders in place. I will post a clarification next week.
Everything changes next Sunday, May 17, but for tomorrow we will do live stream at 8:00AM, drive in Sunday School at 9:15AM & 9:45AM and then drive in services at 10:30AM and 6:00PM.
Deacons, plan on meeting with me in the auditorium at 4:30PM tomorrow, please.
I want to say “thank you” to Gary Walton for getting rid of the poles that have been front of the trailer. Tell Gary what you want done and then get out of the way. The man is a machine!
I cannot remember if I ever mentioned the awesome job Grant Tillman did on building four offering boxes for our buildings. Jeff Holifield built the original one that we use in our drive in services. I appreciate Jeff & Grant doing this as we are looking at doing things differently in the days ahead. Permanent? Who knows.
Yes, we will meet in the auditorium for our services on Wednesday, May 13. What about folks who are not comfortable entering a building with other folks present just yet? We have a plan for that too. Again, I am not as dumb as I look! (It would be really hard to be that dumb!)
I spoke to Ross Genzink yesterday afternoon and he was just North of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was thirty eight degrees and snowing! Are you serious! The forecast low on Sunday morning for Hartselle, Alabama is thirty six degrees! Wow!
My garden really enjoyed the rain last night. Thank you, Lord!
I pray that you will have a great Saturday with Jesus.
