THURSDAY, 4/28/22

The Lord blessed us with a good day in our services yesterday.  Our evening service had a really good attendance.  Thank you to those who are faithful to attend.

Steve Morris will have a biopsy done tomorrow, a scan next Thursday, 5/5, and then a meeting with the doctor on Monday, 5/9.  I am thankful that something is being done as Steve has been in a waiting period.

As far as I know, no other significant changes for anyone else for whom we have been praying.  Just keep praying!

Seven of us left Mobile this morning heading to Guatemala.  We will be joined by two others in Atlanta.  It is a ministry trip that coincides with a wedding.

We need to hear from the Friendship family regarding the crawfish/shrimp boil on Sunday, May 8, beginning at 5:00PM.  Call the church office today or sign the list this Sunday.

Senior adults who have not signed up for this Sunday’s meal need to contact Bro. Jerry.  It is going to be great.

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

TUESDAY, 4/26/22

The arrangements for Terry Brinkman were posted late yesterday afternoon.  I expect our attendance in tomorrow morning’s service to be affected as a good number of those who attend that service are part of Terry’s extended family.  However, we will still have the service as we will be finished in plenty of time for folks to attend the visitation and/or service.  Keep praying for the Terry Brinkman family.

Steve Morris’ visit with the oncologist did not reveal much.  Some tests were ordered and another appointment scheduled for May 9.  Steve has been on that proverbial “waiting list” so his patience is much better than mine.  Pray for Steve & Virginia.

Donnie Felps will see a doctor today about the blood flow in his other leg.  Pray for a good report.

My sister, Melissa, met with a doctor yesterday and he was very concerned about her situation.  He ordered two tests for today.  Prayers appreciated.

If you are a part of the Friendship family and have not signed up for the crawfish/shrimp boil scheduled for Sunday, May 8, beginning at 5:00PM then please do so now.  You can call the church office today between 8:00AM & noon or 1:00PM and 4:00PM.  Or, you can send me an email to pastor@friendshipfamily.net.  We need to get an expected number in order to purchase an adequate amount of crawfish and shrimp.  Please take the time to sign up now!

Senior adults, please sign up for the meal just for you that will take place this Sunday, May 1, in the CAB immediately following our 10:30AM service.  The Heritage House will be catering this lunch and they do a great job.  Contact Bro. Jerry Hovel if you have questions or need more information.

Good for Jack Brewer!

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

Tim & Peggy Knighten are patiently waiting until their appointment at M.D. Anderson on May 10.  Keep praying.

Myrtle Bowden was not in our services yesterday due to her chemo treatments.  Keep praying for Myrtle too!

Terry Brinkman remains in the ICU.  Obviously, prayers still needed.

Elaine Brown continues her regiment of chemo pills and radiation.  Pray for Elaine.

Rodney Whitehurst will begin his third week of radiation today and then have a treatment tomorrow and another one on Wednesday.  Keep praying for Rodney.

Keep praying for Donnie Felps.

Keith & Aninha Barrett will begin their trip home from Pennsylvania tomorrow.  I am not sure what time they will begin this trip but knowing them it will be like midnight!  Pray for their traveling safety.

The Lord blessed us with a good day in our services yesterday.  We give Him praise.  Bro. Abel did a nice job with the soccer teams recognition last night.

Ok, calling all crawfish eaters!  We need those who have not signed up for our crawfish/shrimp boil set for Sunday, May 8, beginning at 5:00PM to do so no later than this coming Sunday, May 1.  We just need to get an estimate as to how many to expect so adequate food can be prepared.  Call the church office or sign up this Wednesday, 4/27, or Sunday, 5/1, in the services.

Senior adults, we need for you to sign up for the lunch that will be provided for you in our CAB immediately following the 10:30AM service on May 1.  Contact Bro. Jerry Hovel for more information.

Summer is here in Grand Bay, Alabama!  The ten day forecast calls for lows in the upper fifties tonight and tomorrow night.  After that, the daily highs will be in the eighties and the lows in the sixties.  Good for gardens.  Not good for me!  By the way, it appears the rainy season has begun in Guatemala which is a good thing.

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

FRIDAY, 4/22/22

The most important thing I will post today is that today, April 22, 2022, is Jason Husband’s fifty second birthday!  Happy birthday, Jason!  Call or text him today (601) 382 1200.  He will be thrilled to hear from you!  (For those who do not know, Jason is Kevin & Tina Sprinkle’s oldest son!)  My hope is that Jason will have an awesome day!

Edna Pearl sent me a message saying that the new trach was put in place yesterday and is working.  Keep praying for Terry.

Otherwise, there are no updates for those for whom we have been praying.  Just to continue to pray!

Our soccer leagues continue play tomorrow.  Pray for this ministry.  Thanks to Bro. Abel for leading it!

Regular schedule on our campus this Sunday! Our deacons will meet at 3:00 and 5:00PM.  Our Finance Committee will meet at 4:00PM.  Study in Romans begins at 4:45PM.

Will someone please tell our daughter, Daphne, that her dad has a hard enough time keeping his weight “somewhat down” without her bringing him Hope’s cheese cakes?  She has brought me Hope’s for the past two weeks.  Oh my, absolutely delicious!  In my opinion, best cheesecake ever!

Today is supposed to be a nice day weather wise but tomorrow is supposed to be amazing!  Enjoy these days!

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

THURSDAY, 4/21/22 (SECOND ENTRY)

Steve Morris met with the nephrologist and was told that if his malignancy is contained to the kidneys then his case is curable.  Said they will not know about the effectiveness of the left kidney until the right kidney is removed.  He is in kidney failure.  Keep praying as Steve will see the oncologist on Monday.

Edna Pearl updated me on Terry’s situation.  The trach they tried to use on Tuesday proved to be defective.  So, they had to revert to placing the vent tube in his mouth.  Plans are to get a new trach today.  Pray that happens and will be effective.

Talked to Miss Kittie via the phone.  They drained a lot of fluid off of one lung yesterday.  She said that she is breathing better now.  Keep praying for Miss Kittie.  She has gone back to Montgomery with her son, Jeff.

Heard from Jeanette.  She is not totally free of the walker but is now going between it and her cane.  Sonny saw his doctor and was told that he does not need surgery at this point – answer to prayer.  Keep praying for Sonny & Jeanette.

Tim Knighten heard from MDA and has an appointment on Tuesday, May 10.  He and Peggy “could” be there for up to five days.  Pray for Tim.

Elaine Brown is taking a chemotherapy pill and radiation simultaneously.  Pray for her to do well with this regiment.

Keep praying for Myrtle.

Keep praying for Rodney Whitehurst.

Keep praying for Donnie Felps.

Bro. Abel called me yesterday to share that his son, Gideon, is now on the Pensacola Christian College varsity soccer team.  Congratulations to Gideon!  Bro. Abel was super excited.  I think his excitement is more about getting to go to Buccee’s each time Gideon has a home game.  LOL!

I “think” that covers it all.  Pray for these folks and those mentioned in the earlier entry.

I pray that you will have a great rest of your Thursday with Jesus.
