MONDAY, 10/21/24

The Lord blessed us with a good day in our services yesterday.  Praise Jesus!  What a blessing to have Harold & Mary Ann Dueitt officially join the Friendship family yesterday morning.  Great family, great friends.  FYI, Isabella is in charge in that house!  Just saying!

Our children’s choir did a great job sharing the message in song last night.  Thank you to Dede & Ian Tagert for working with these children each week.  What a blessing!

Tim & Peggy Knighten left yesterday heading to M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX for Tim’s annual check up.  Scans today and then consultation with the doctor tomorrow.  Join me in praying for another “all clear” report on Tuesday.

Betty McMann is at home under hospice care.  She is seemingly declining physically but she was awake and alert when I visited her yesterday.  Darrell is a great caregiver to her.  Pray for Betty, Darrell and the family.  (By the way, it was good to have Elizabeth and the kids in our services yesterday)

Yancey Hall was admitted to the hospital Friday night.  I attempted to visit him on Saturday and did so yesterday morning.  He told me that he was going home yesterday and, knowing Yancey, he probably did.  His physical issues are related to his heart.  Pray for Yancey!

Miss Dottie Clark continues to have health issues.  She is at home in Guatemala.  Pray for Miss Dottie and Dr. Mike.

Carla Parker (Clubhouse Guatemala) is battling an aggressive malignancy.  I “think” she will have a MRI with contrast today.  Pray for Carla, Mike and the family.

Word came to me last via Pastor Eddie Burdette that Pastor Terry Rainey is in the hospital with MRSA.  Please pray for Pastor Terry!

I do not have the total of folks who gave and/or pledged to buy shoes for the students at Colegio JET.  I hope Daphne can give me a total today.  Thank you to those who are helping with this effort.  Also, special thanks to Pastor Joe David Bailey for leading this effort.  Pastor Joe is a great friend as well as a great pastor.

As the Friendship family knows already, today marks the thirty-fourth anniversary for me as your pastor.  Wow, where has the time gone?  Deidra was eight years old and Daphne was six years old when I became your pastor.  I am thankful to have served all these years with some of the finest folks on God’s earth.  I am blessed!  Thank you for affording me the privilege of being your pastor and the eleven years before that as a staff member.  Glory to God!

Special thanks to those responsible for the fellowship last night.  Totally unnecessary but truly appreciated.  A special “thank you” for the love offering.  Again, not necessary but appreciated.  I have no idea of the amount given but please know I am grateful for every cent (especially the five dollars from Lee Fore).  Pray for the Lord to give me wisdom in using it to His glory.

I am sitting in the Pensacola airport about to board a plane to Atlanta and then one to Guatemala City.  A very special thank you to Bro. Chris Scofield for brining me to the airport this morning.  Totally above and beyond the call!  Why Bro. Chris?  Eddie Albritton’s rates have gotten way too high!  Just the facts!

Pray for the pastors’ conference in Guatemala this week.  Pastor Doug Chappelle and Pastor Spencer Bell will be preaching.  Two of Pastor Doug’s staff members will be joining him.  Those four guys flew in last night and I look forward to joining them later today.

By the way, I did get to spend some quality time with my Mama on Friday.  Precious memories!

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