MONDAY, 2/17/25
Tim Knighten’s brother had an emergency episode and was taken to a hospital in Mississippi before being transferred to a Mobile hospital for emergency surgery. Surgery finished around 3:00AM and he is now in ICU. Pray for his wife and family.
John Whalen’s brother passed away yesterday morning. So, John & Liz are driving to the UP in Michigan today and tomorrow. Pray for the family and for traveling mercies.
John Whalen’s aunt also passed away yesterday morning. She lived in south Florida. Pray that that family too.
Roseanne Baria’s shoulder came out of place again and she had to go back to the hospital. Keep praying for Roseanne & Robert.
Really good day in our services yesterday. Yes, the preaching was too long – I am aware! However, the spirit was excellent in both services. The comments made to me in person and electronically have been very kind. Thank you to each person who has reached out to me. God is good.
Clara Broadus asked me to emphasize the yard sale in last night’s service. I failed. The actual sale will take place Thursday, 2/27, through Saturday, 3/1. Donations of goods may be brought to the church following the evening service this Sunday, 2/23, through Wednesday, 2/26. Contact Clara or Rita Boutwell for more information.
Today, marks the forty-sixth anniversary of my conducting my first bus workers weekly meeting at Friendship. I am told that I am the longest tenured staff member in the Mobile Baptist Association. I sure wish that Pastor Terry Glasscock was still living as he and I basically were traveling the same road ministry wise. I miss Pastor Terry.
I have had several folks mention our June GRACE Ministries trip and their intentions to possibly join us. As it stands today, we have a precious few spots open and they will be given away on a first come, first served basis. Just FYI.
By the way, congratulations to Coach Pearl and the Auburn basketball team. I have said all season that they are the best team in the land. My opinion has not changed. Is Alabama good? Yes. Could they win it all? If everything would fall just right.
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
