Pastor's Blog

So far I have not missed a single day (Monday – Friday) of blogging in October 2024.  How about that!

Visited with JoNell Barnes in the hospital this morning.  The surgical procedure went well yesterday.  She “may” be discharged today.  It all depends on her blood pressure which is running low.  JoNell is a sweetheart.  She is a faithful member of the Friendship family.  She has never eaten McDonalds.  True story!  Pray for JoNell!

I spoke to Gary Walton yesterday afternoon and Rachel’s procedure went well.  The doctor had previously told her that there was nothing wrong with her shoulder.  However, they were able to repair it yesterday.  Pray for Rachel as she recovers at home.

I am thankful to Bro. Abel for being there for both of these surgical procedures.  We are blessed to have him on staff at Friendship!

Keith Barrett had his annual transplant review yesterday in Birmingham and all is well.  Praise the Lord.  Keith & Aninha are a amazing couple!  I love having them as a part of the Friendship family.

I spoke to Heidi this morning.  Chip’s condition has not changed much over the past few days.  He remains in a hospice facility.  Keep praying for Chip, his parents, Heidi and the rest of the family.

Ben & Michelle Thomas’ granddaughter, Maxi, passed from this life on Friday night, 9/27.  A celebration of her life will take place this Friday, 10/4, beginning at 3:00PM from the Hughes Funeral Home in Daphne, Alabama.  A visitation with the family will begin at 2:00PM.  Pray for this family.

Claude Landry continues to receive daily radiation treatments.  Pray for Claude!

Keep praying for Dr. Mike & Miss Dottie Clark.

Deidra, the girls and Chino arrived in New Orleans yesterday morning.  We had a great afternoon together as a family.  Tomorrow, 10/2/24, marks the one year anniversary of Soy’s passing.  Hard days.  Thank you to those who are praying.  FYI, Deidra, Lisa, Daphne & Chino have all deactivated their respective Facebook accounts for the time being.  If you try to message them through FB then they will not see it.  Deidra is very grateful for the prayer support but she is not in a place where she can can view pictures, videos, et cetera.  Thank you for understanding.  Most of all, thank you for praying.

The Waffle House in Grand Bay is now closed for the next three months.  (Does any other blog give you this type of information?)  Peggy Knighten may not be able to function now!  Just saying!

Regular schedule on our campus tomorrow morning and evening.

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