FRIDAY, 12/18/09
It is slightly past 4:00AM as I write this and I was awakened by the rainfall. Wow, we have gotten some rain in the past week or so! It really isn’t a bother to us regarding any flooding, or potential flooding, but I do feel for those folks who have already experienced flooding due to the recent rains or for those who will be flooded because of tonight’s rain.
Louise Morris is scheduled for surgery at noon today so keep her in your prayers. Caroline Ford is scheduled to see her doctor at 12:30PM today. I will go see Miss Vivian at some point today. She was a bit sick when I stopped by yesterday but is still doing well. One of John & Tammie Curl’s sons had an episode last week but is doing better now. Keep praying for Carla, Miss Joyce, and the others battling cancer.
Stan & Becky Hatcher will host a Christmas gathering tomorrow night at 7:00PM for the folks who attend our Spanish ministry. You are invited to join them for this time of fellowship but I would ask that you contact Becky if you plan on attending in order for proper food arrangements to be made.
Our adult choir will present their cantata this Sunday at 6:00PM. They have worked hard in preparation for this worship experience and I hope the Friendship family will be present for this special service.
Bob Knight said at a banquet last night that Kentucky basketball coach, John Calipari, should not be coaching today due to a lack of integrity. (He left two schools that were put on probation due to actions on his watch) Your response may be “pot meet kettle” but I say it is a picture of the society in which we live. We have a “win at all cost” mentality and if the coaches and/or players can deliver “wins” then we really don’t mind what baggage they bring with them. Commitment is out the door! This mindset has spilled over into the church but that is a whole chapter that I don’t have the time nor space to delve into here.
Speaking of winning, Peyton & the Colts remain undefeated. It just kills me that Peyton went to college at such a bad school but he is an awesome pro quarterback. I am glad the Saints are winning too but I am not real happy with the shirts they are selling in New Orleans that feature Drew Brees.
I pray that you will have a great Friday and weekend with Jesus. I really should do some Christmas shopping but . . . the roads are so wet with all of this rain that is really isn’t safe to shop. You think Lisa will understand? There is always Christmas Eve!
Car 54 alert – Sandra McElwee, where are you?

Jordan Curl is doing much better and actually was able to play in last night’s RA Basketball game. He did not play much because we were cautious about getting to exhausted.
