“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”  (Psalm 46:1)

Eddie’s mother was not able to speak to the doctor yesterday so no new word on Eddie’s dad’s situation.  Hopefully, he can be discharged soon.  Keep praying for Eddie, Sr.

Stella Brinkman is in PCU.  She has a feeding tube because of having difficulty swallowing.  Pray for Stella.

Carol Lucky was taken back to the hospital yesterday afternoon.  I am assuming she was admitted.  Pray for Carol.

Mary Jackson remains in the hospital.  Pray for Miss Mary.

The funeral service for Betty Hamil’s sister, Edith Krebs, will be private due to COVID-19.  Pray for Betty and the family.

The family of Jessie Hudson will also have a private service.  Pray for Marie Brooks and her family during this time.

The governor of Alabama is scheduled to speak this morning at 11:00AM.  I am very interested to hear what she has to say especially as it relates to church services.

John Milton Ladnier & Kendall Falana responded to the call regarding the back forty.  John Milton bush hogged and Kendall burned the wood pile.  It looks much better and I appreciate these guys taking the time to do this.

Tomorrow, 4/29, Bro. Abel is asking our students to come help him pick up sticks/roots from the area where John Milton bush hogged yesterday.  Students are asked to meet Bro. Abel on our campus at 1:00PM.

Senior adults, have you contacted Cecil Guidry about this Sunday?  If not, please do so today!

Philip & Natalie Dixon are the owners of Sam’s Superburger in Grand Bay.  They graciously donated the coupons given to our children this past Sunday for a free ice cream cone.  I encourage the members of the Friendship family to support Sam’s for a couple of reasons – they are not open on Sundays and they have always supported our church.

Philip & Natalie also own the Southern Shells restaurant which is where the other Sam’s used to be located.  I really like their shrimp salad croissant.  Lisa had their shrimp poboy yesterday for lunch and she said it was amazing.

Hey, need help buying or selling real estate?  John & Tammy Curl are members of the Friendship family and Tammy is a realtor with Roberts Brothers.  Her cell number is 509 1714.  If you are in need of a real estate agent, please consider Tammy.  John & Tammy are a great couple!

I literally spent all day this past Saturday working in the garden.  Was able to get about an hour and a half in yesterday afternoon. The Lord has blessed my feeble efforts and I am thankful.  However, master gardener, John Milton Ladnier, has a garden that is booming.  His corn is already setting ears!  Are you serious!  I think his garden is on steroids! ( I am talking Joey Switzer steroids!)  Of course it does not hurt that John Milton is in his garden basically 24/7.  I do believe he sleeps in that garden as he is always doing something in it.  Dub would be proud!

Coach Eric Collier had another former player get drafted in the NFL draft.  Did you know that Coach Collier gets a financial kick back for each player he has drafted?  That is the word on the street!

Drive in service tomorrow at 10:00AM and then at 6:30PM.  Join us on the East side of the auditorium – rain or shine!

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