James Harrington, seven year old son of Eric & Leslee, has been admitted to the hospital with breathing issues.  Pray for James and his family.

Nina Stringfellow sent me a message this morning to share that her husband, Ray, is now in a critical condition in his battle against the malignancy in his body.  The doctors have determined that the only option now is in home hospice care.  So, Ray could be discharged from the hospital today and will then be under hospice care.  Pray for Ray, Nina, Shane, Brannan and the entire family.  Nina assures me that Ray is at peace and prepared for Heaven.  I assured Nina of the Friendship family’s continued prayer support.

Well, I was wrong!  I know that statement surprises probably eleven or twelve of our thirteen readers which equates to like seventy-one percent or so.  Our attendance in all three services was much, much better than my expectations – oh me of little faith!  We actually had more folks in our early service then we had last Sunday morning.  I was blessed!  I am giving God the glory and saying a huge “thank you” to the Friendship family for their faithfulness!  God is good!

Pray for the situation in Ukraine.

Aninha Barrett’s Aunt Ruth celebrated her ninety-third birthday yesterday.  She is seemingly lingering near death’s door.  Pray for Miss Ruth!

Speaking of Aninha, she and Keith will travel to Atlanta, GA today in order to attend a memorial service and then will drive back to Grand Bay tonight.  Pray for traveling mercies for them.  Pray for the memorial service too.

Speaking of traveling, Andy & Betty Hamil will travel to Gadsden, AL tomorrow in order to visit their friend, Pat Patterson.  I “think” they are returning home on Wednesday but I could be wrong.  Pray for them to have traveling mercies as well.

Lisa arrived in Guatemala safe and sound early Saturday afternoon.  She had a good day yesterday which obviously included attending the morning service at Iglesia JET and listening to the message from the Word by Pastor Adan.  If all goes as planned, she will return home late Wednesday night.

I went into the weekend having nineteen pounds of coffee beans from Guatemala.  Offering those for only six dollars per pound – what a great deal!  I am happy to announce that I now only have twenty-one pounds left!  (Talk about fuzzy math!)  What, no one any longer cooks coffee beans?  I am going to extend this deal through August 31, 2031 or while this supply lasts – whichever comes first!

I am not a grammar expert so I need some help.  Which is correct – “me and my spouse are praying” or “my spouse and I are praying”?  (Asking for a friend)  These tough ones always confuse I!

I have always said that Katie Tillman is one of the sweetest young ladies I have ever known.  After this past week, I take that back!  Yes, she is Diane Brinkman’s daughter!  Just saying!

Personally, I had a tough Sunday as I had to pick out my own suit to wear.  Then, I had a cheese and mayonnaise sandwich for lunch.  Once again, just saying!

March Gladness!  Join us each Sunday!

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