“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 – Luke 12-13

Ruby Gulley remains hospitalized.  She was not coherent enough yesterday to give me an update on her condition.

Miss Kittie Camp was discharged from the hospital yesterday.  She still does not feel well and her heart remains in afib.  Keep praying.

Tim Knighten is scheduled for surgery this Friday, 10/28.

Courtney Cavin is scheduled to be induced this Friday, 10/28, if she does not go into labor between now and then.  I am not certain but I think she and Chris are naming this baby “Bama Girl” or something like that.

John & Liz Whalen had a friend, Gale Chinn, pass from this life on Monday.  Pray for the Chinn family, please.

We are on a regular schedule this morning and tonight.  Hope that many members of the Friendship family will join us for Bible study, choir practices and classes.  The fare for tonight’s 7:30PM Bible study is white chicken chili (we could not catch any of the red chickens as they are much faster than the white ones!)

Mission of Hope service at Friendship this Friday, 10/28, beginning at 7:00PM.  A meal will be served beginning at 6:00PM.  Everyone invited.

McKemie Place Ministry next Tuesday, 11/1, beginning at 6:00PM.  For more information contact Randall or Rita Broome.

Hallelujah Festival this Sunday, 10/30, from 5:00 – 7:00PM in the CAB.  Chili and bags of wrapped candy still needed.

Believe it or not, someone broke into my office at the church at some point between Monday night, 10/17, and yesterday, 10/25.  As far as I know, nothing was taken.  Honestly, there is absolutely nothing in my office that is of any value.  I only wish they would have cleaned the place up a bit!  Hey, if you need in my office, just ask and I will give you a key!

I thought I was going to have a night off last night.  Should have known better when Lisa asked late yesterday afternoon, “you have plans for tonight?”  I replied “no” and she said, “you will go buy groceries since you did not do so this past weekend!”  So, off to Walmart I went with her list in hand.  Folks, the woman is a slave driver!  (BTW, when is this Walmart that Larry Whitehurst keeps talking about coming to Grand Bay?)

I did watch a couple of innings of the baseball game last night.  If I understood the announcers correctly, the Cubs are in great shape after losing the first game?  I just know that Pastor Jack Bailey was happy with last night’s outcome while Pastor Wes Bates was not so happy.  Me?  I am pulling for the Nationals and Coach Bobby Henley!  Go Nats!

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