THURSDAY, 4/7/22
Sorry this entry is late. No excuses.
Friendship family, we need some immediate help. Kirk Crowder’s dad recently passed from this life. There will be a memorial service for him tomorrow (Friday) morning. We are going to feed the family (twenty to thirty folks) following the service and this is an eleventh hour request for help with the food. Tina Wilkinson has graciously agreed to coordinate this ministry. Please contact the church office today (Thursday) or contact Tina directly. All food must be in the fellowship hall by 10:00AM tomorrow. Thank you in advance for your help. Pray for Kirk and his family.
Visited Larry Whitehurst yesterday morning and the plan was to discharge him from the hospital today if all goes well. Keep praying for Larry.
Keep praying for Myrtle as the doctor leads her through this next process. Again, Myrtle has a strong faith.
Tim Knighten is basically in a holding pattern for the time being. Peggy wrote, “more waiting but even more trusting!” So, we with and pray with them.
The doctors have diagnosed Tonie Lee’s son, Andrew. He has a most rare condition that is too much for me to repeat. The family is grateful to at least have a diagnosis. Pray for Andrew.
The memorial service for Dale Gaulden was well attended by family members and friends. Keep praying for Grace and the family.
Several more orders came in for the GRACE Ministries tumblers yesterday. Here is where our inventory stands as of this writing: purple (11); red (7); yellow (3); orange (2). Again, first come, first served. Email me to pre-order your tumbler(s).
Miss Vinnie Brewer will be happy to know that I left Dale’s service and drove to Hartselle to visit my Mama and others. Spent about three plus hours with Mama and even had the privilege of sitting beside her during church. Pastor Joe David Bailey preached one of the best messages on tithing that I have ever heard. I saw a good number of friends in the service and then enjoyed supper at Big Bob’s following the service. I enjoyed spending time with Mama. Need to do it more often. Thank you for allowing me to be away and thanks to Bro. Jerry for teaching in my absence.
Here is what will not make Miss Vinnie a happy camper. I left Mama’s around 9:00PM and headed back home. Let’s just say that I made it safe and sound thanks to the Lord’s blessings. The problem I faced was not being able to fall asleep once I got home. Also, I did not let Lisa know I was driving back home so as to not worry her. Plus, I did not want her spending time finding my life insurance policy. I did get to see Willard Garnett which is reason enough to drive almost eight hundred miles in fifteen hours.
So, I am home but will not be out and about much today. Will use time to study for this Sunday.
I pray that you will have a great Thursday with Jesus.
