“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” (Psalm 119:11)

Carol Lucky was admitted to the hospital Sunday and remains there this morning.  Pray for Carol.

Gregg Hearon, former resident of Grand Bay and member of the Friendship family, passed from this life on June 11.  The following comes from his online obituary: “a Memorial Service will be held Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 12pm at Church of the Highlands Auburn Campus located at 2001 E Samford Ave. Auburn, AL 36830.”  This is simply a FYI.  Pray for Jan and the family during this time.

My dad will be having a surgical procedure this Thursday, 7/18.  Lord willing, Lisa and I will be driving up.  I will actually be trying to kill two stones with one bird as I need to get “stuff” to the folks from North Alabama who are taking part in our next GRACE Ministries trip which is 7/25 – 8/1.

Speaking of the GRACE Ministries trip, one of our guys who will be going on the trip is allowing another one of our guys to house sit while he is away.  Talk about a win/win situation!

My friend, Pastor Bob Harvey, often says, “we are better together” and while this is not an original of his it carries much truth.  That was illustrated this past Sunday when folks in Panama City, FL formed a human chain to save a person who was caught in the rip current.  Great illustration of how the body of Christ can be more effective when working together.

Leslie Hacker’s Braves are on fire!  They are now seven and one half games ahead of Bobby & the boys in the NL East.  However, Bobby & the boys enjoy a two game lead in the wild card race.  Pastor Wes Bates’ beloved Cubbies continue to lead the NL Central by two games.  The Dodgers are doing pretty good in the NL West as well.

I think there are like forty days left before the beginning of Fall practice for the college football teams.  I am ready for that season to be here.

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