Today’s Bible reading – Jeremiah 1:1-2:30 Philippians 4:1-23 Psalm 75:1-10 Proverbs 24:17-20

Happy 18th birthday to our daughters, Dana & Gina!  Unbelievable!  Where does the time go?  Lisa and I are very grateful that God blessed us with these girls as our daughters.  We hope to make their 18th birthday memorable!  Dana & Gina, I love you and wish you the best today and every day!  (Like they read my blog!)

The men’s breakfast takes place in the fellowship hall tomorrow morning beginning at 8:00AM.  All men are invited to attend this time of food and fellowship.

The student ministry is serving a meal following the services this Sunday morning.  I do not know if it was pre-order only or not.  Bro. Chris, help me!  I will clarify in tomorrow’s post.

Morris Bryant’s mother has been admitted to the hospital as she is battling pneumonia.  I had just talked to Brenda last Friday and she told me how well her mother was doing.  Things can change quickly!

Morris’ nephew, Joey McManus, has begun chemotherapy treatments for colon cancer.  I think this is a five week treatment.

I met two folks on the trip who are battling cancer – Georgina, age 27, will receive her twenty seventh chemotherapy treatment today.  Rueben, age 47, is battling a rare form of leukemia and has had five weeks of in house chemotherapy and forty days of outpatient chemotherapy since January.  I promised both of them my prayer support.

I am hearing that C is doing ok this week.  Praise the Lord!  She received her second chemotherapy treatment Monday and Tuesday.

Regular schedule this Sunday morning and evening.  May we, as members of the Friendship family, be found faithful!

How was the pastors’ conference in El Salvador?  Great!  I will post a report at some point this weekend as it would make this entry too long to do it here.  Pray for pastors Keith, Terry, BJ & Chad as they travel home today.

Oregon got beat at home by Arizona last night, really?  Did not see that one coming!  Bama & AU have their hands full tomorrow! Can State beat A&M?

How tough is Lisa on me?  She sends me an iMessage telling me to stop by Walmart on the way home from the airport last night in order to buy groceries.  Or else!  Are you serious!  So, being the submissive husband I am (much like Will Reynolds), I did.  Folks, you just do not know!  (She is already demanding that the yards be mowed first thing this morning!  I fully assumed that Soy & Rusty would have that part done for me – wrong assumption!)

Why no entry yesterday?  No internet service!  My apologies but there was not anything I could do about it!

I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus!
