Good Thursday morning from GRACE Mountain.
Sonny Bates got good news from the doctor regarding the scan yesterday. He “may” have to undergo another round of radiation but that is a very viable option considering what it could have been. Sonny & Jeanette are giving God the glory! Keep praying!
I am told that we had a good evening in Bible study last night and that Bro. Jerry did a good job teaching. I want to encourage the members of the Friendship family to be faithful in their church attendance.
I have mentioned the need for folks to help Eddie Albritton with our basketball ministry this Saturday, 1/29, and then every night next week. I sure hope folks are contacting Eddie to let him know of their willingness to help as I have heard from no one. Folks, let’s end this season strong!
Pray for revival. Evangelist Danny Long will be with us the dates of Sunday, February 13, through Wednesday, February 16. YAM! (What is YAM? Contact Elizabeth Westbrook for the details!)
The regulations have changed regarding the entry requirements into Guatemala. This impacts a lot of people. Therefore, I need to know exactly who is going to take part in our June 16 – 23, 2022 GRACE Ministries trip? Please send me an email at pastor@friendshipfamily.net by no later than February 20. As it stands now, a person must be fully vaccinated before they can enter Guatemala. No exceptions.
There are four folks from Michigan scheduled to arrive on GRACE Mountain tonight. Four, is that all? It is. However it is a good four and they will be doing medical at Colegio JET. We will also build ten or so houses over these next two weeks.
My great nephew, Grayson Glenn, has been recognized as the Bryant-Jordan scholar athlete for Region Fifteen. That is a really big accomplishment. Grayson got his brain from his mama, Jamie. How do I know? Because she has no brain so someone got it! Congratulations, Grayson! (His resume will now read – “Bryant-Jordan scholar athlete award; mentioned on THE blog!”)
My dentist friend, Dr. Ashley Holladay, has taken a new position in Huntsville, Alabama. Ashley is a sweetheart and has been to Guatemala like one million times. Congratulations, Dr. Ashley.
I had an uneventful day of traveling yesterday until I rode with Deidra from the airport – oh my! It gets worse as last night I shared my plans for today with Deidra. She looked at me and sternly said, “you are doing concrete tomorrow and the work begins at 6:00AM! The guys are planning on you helping them all day!” What? Do I look like hired help? So, guess what I am doing today? The sergeant lives!
The good news is that I had two young girls who were thrilled to see me as they had plans to spend the night with their poppie! So, they went to bed with smiles on their faces after indulging on popcorn and milk – are you kidding me!
My top secret, inside source tells me that Bama is not finished in the portal. Just FYI.
One final thing, Todd Stork has not helped me at all with the covid testing and such. Katie Tillman has been the one helping me! Just saying! LOL!
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
