Today’s Bible reading – 2 Chronicles 24:1-25:28 Romans 12:1-21 Psalm 22:19-31 Proverbs 20:8-10

This entry is being sent from the Gulfport airport as I am headed to Guatemala.  Our team departs tomorrow but there are a couple of things I need to do plus I want to be ready for the group when they arrive tomorrow.

We had twenty six folks show up for prayer meeting last night.  I have to give a shout out to Rusty Suthoff as he came for the last hour which allowed me to go do some mowing before leaving this morning.  Rusty is solid!

Ashley Crawley was not doing great when I visited with her yesterday.  She was continuing to have a lot of pain.  Hopefully they were able to get her some relief yesterday.   The blood clot is in her right lung.

Miss Cookie Rainey is not doing well at all.  The doctors are not hopeful at all.  Pray for everyone involved in that situation.

Brian Amonett had a much better day yesterday per the report sent to me by Debbie.  Bill & Debbie have been faithful to keep me updated and I am grateful.

Holly Isom will have knee surgery today.  Holly has been to Guatemala with us a couple of times and serves as “boss” to several within the Friendship family.

I was totally wrong about Eddie Whitmore’s chemo treatments.  He did not have a treatment last week but will have one this week.  Imagine me being wrong!

Miss Mary Jackson did well through her eye surgery this past Monday.

Mariam called the office and said that Jimmy Moates did well with his treatment this past Monday.  He continues to make improvement.

Tommy Johnson & Brenda Timberlake both have the shingles near their eye.  Painful!

Caroline Ford got a good report from the doctor regarding a recent test.  She does not have a major disease.  She is feeling better each day.  That is a good thing.  The doctors cannot help her mentally but we already knew that!

Still no water on the mountain in Guatemala.  The folks from NC have not had water at all this week.  I feel badly for them.  Of course, I will join them tonight and I already know that the earliest the pump will be working will be at some point tomorrow.  It is what it is!  Will make me appreciate the shower I had earlier today.

Regular schedule this morning and evening.  Lisa is doing meatball subs for the 7:30PM Bible study.  Either Davy or Soy will lead that study.  Bro. Jerry is preaching in the 10:00AM & 6:30PM Bible studies in the auditorium.

Want to know if your father-in-law does not like you?  If he plants Mayhaw trees and lets you mow around them then he does not like you!  I am offering a $5 reward for anyone who can make three Mayhaw trees disappear while I am away!

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