“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14 KJV)

Today’s Bible reading: Genesis 48-50

Miss Carmen Reyer has been moved to a convalescent facility.  She and Bro. Louis are now in the same facility which is obviously makes it much easier on the family.

Have not heard how Jason Taylor’s procedure went yesterday but prayerfully it went well.

As far as I know, Miss Dollie Trout, Mrs. Johnson (Tommy’s mother), and Miss Alford (Tena’s mother) all remain in the hospital.  Bro. Chris visited them yesterday.  Same is true for Miss Jackie Goff.

If things go as scheduled, Brian Amonett should be moved to a rehab facility today.

It was thought that Richard Glass would have heart surgery yesterday but that has been delayed.  Maybe Monday?

One of Coley Johnson’s maternal uncles, William Elery Sprinkle, passed away Wednesday night.  The visitation with the family will take place on Monday, 2/1, from noon until the 2:00PM service time.  The visitation and service will be held from Serenity Funeral Home in Theodore.

The Friendship family will be ministering to the Albert West, Jr family through a meal tomorrow.  Contact Carol Lucky if you can help.  Thank you in advance to each person who will be helping with this ministry.

Our Upward basketball season is quickly coming to a close.  Tomorrow marks the next to last Saturday of this season.

Reading earlier this morning that anyone needing a passport (new or renewal) in 2017 should seriously consider getting it now.  Why?  It was ten years ago that the law was passed requiring folks to have passports for cruises and such.  All of those passports will expire this year.  They expect a glut of applications which will slow the process.  Going on a GRACE Ministries trip in June or July of this year?  Now is the time to apply for your passport or passport renewal.  Procrastinate if you want to but remember that “I told you!”

Projected high of seventy three degrees on Monday – are you serious?  Not supposed to stay that way for long.  If you know me at all then you know that I enjoy the cooler temperatures.  If only we could get some snow.  Nothing major.  Say four inches?  Not happening!

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