MONDAY, 1/26/09
Wow, it has already been Monday all morning! The reason this entry is late is because it is Vietnamese New Year! (One excuse is as good as the next!)
The Lord gave us a great day yesterday as we had a salvation decision in the 10:30AM service (Jacob Boyd) and another one in the 6:00PM service (Mary Jo Laster) with one joining us by transfer of letter (Sue Blodgett) too. God gives the increase and we give Him all of the glory!
The Friendship family took a historic step last night as we called our first ever full time Minister to Students. Chris Taylor will assume this position beginning this Sunday, 2/1. He received a unanimous vote! I appreciate the deacons and the finance committee for their prayers, meetings, input, and vision. Pray for Chris & Nicole and our student ministry as we begin this new journey together!
Miss Joyce Bosarge came home from the hospital last night. Carla Felps & Shea Childress receive treatments tomorrow. A hospital bed is being delivered to Jimmy Crawley’s house to help make it easier on the family in their care of him. Sonny Bates’ nephew, Eddie Crocker, has had his leukemia return. Tina Sprinkle will have surgery on her back Wednesday. Pray for these folks!
We had twenty something folks come last night to help sort pills for the upcoming GRACE trip. Thanks to each person who helped. Pastor Travis Northcutt and his church family are shipping another load of pills to us today – what a blessing!
The Friendship family did a wonderful job of saying “welcome” to Rita & the girls last night. Thank you for the gifts & the cards. Thanks to Sherry Lavelle for coordinating that fellowship on very short notice. Thanks to all who brought food too! Rita was surprised and grateful!
Our high school and college students who are participating in a GRACE trip this summer are selling gourmet apples. If interested in purchasing one, or more, contact the church office.
Our first night of another semester of FAITH is tonight. Our 5th & 6th grade RA basketball team plays in their league championship game tonight.
Gotta go – it’s Monday! I hope you have a great Monday with Jesus.

Man I get up early to get my daily words of wisdom from Teddy and I am still waiting!
How am I to start my week without a blog entry? I feel like I don’t know what is going on in the world around me.
Since everybody else is commenting about their morning disappointment, I’ll pile on as well!
I am staggering around in dizziness this morning, disoreientated from having no blog to read of Pastor Teddie … I can’t spell either… Someone please keep Pastor Teddie more focused and disciplined… no more Vietnamese New Year celebrations
Now that I have my “blog bearings” in order and can actualy function today, I am discovering that Pastor Teddie has also misled his entire blog readership by claiming that he is celebrating Vietnamese New Year… My calendar reads that it is “CHINESE” New year… I could be wrong, maybe the entire Orient is celebrating a New Year today, but in case this is yet another attempt on the part of Pastor Teddie to mislead us, I’m playing it safe by celebrating and wishing everyone in blog world a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAAR!!
