Aninha Barrett’s Aunt Ruth is seemingly nearing her homecoming to be with Jesus.  I ask you to join me in praying for Aunt Ruth.

Here is the deal of the weekend – I have nineteen pounds of coffee beans from Guatemala that I would like to move yesterday.  My supplier sent me home with beans even though I only ordered ground coffee.  I have been had!  “Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me!” 

So, any order submitted either today, 2/26, or tomorrow, 2/27, will receive a pound of beans for six dollars!  (Normal cost is ten dollars per pound)  Lisa and I are covering the extra four dollars per pound so the ministry is receiving the full benefit of the sale. It is a win/win situation of the ministry and for the buyer.  You will not beat this price any where!  This offer is only good today and tomorrow!  (Or until we sell out of these beans!)

Place your order by sending me an email at pastor@friendshipfamily.net.  First come, first served.  If any one person steps up to buy all nineteen pounds then the cost will be one hundred dollars.

But wait, if you order within the next five minutes, the cost will be two pounds for twelve dollars!  Unbelievable!  Email now!

Heading to the airport very soon in order for my wife, Lisa, to fly to Guatemala in order to spend a few days with Soy, Deidra and the girls.  A very, very last minute decision.  Lisa is thrilled to be going and Deidra is thrilled that she coming.  Me?  No comment – LOL!  Soy?  Disappointed that it is Lisa and not me!

We have a number of folks who have already left for “out of town” and others who will be leaving today.  I am praying for traveling mercies for all of them and for some great family memories to be made.

Meanwhile, I am encouraging those of the Friendship family who remain in town to be faithful to our classes/services.  Regular schedule on our campus tomorrow morning and evening.  Lord willing, I will be preaching in all three worship services.

Continue to pray for the situation in Ukraine.  Pray for those for whom we have been listing on our prayer list.

I am going with Auburn over Tennessee in their basketball game today.  Auburn has a really good team.  Will Alabama beat South Carolina today?  Depends on which Bama team shows up but I am going to say “yes!”

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