THURSDAY, 1/12/17

“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10

Today’s Bible reading – Genesis 29-30; Matthew 9:1-17

Miss Kathleen Henderson was placed in ICU early yesterday morning.  She is pretty low physically as she is very weak. She told me yesterday afternoon, “I just want to go be with Jesus” which is something she has shared repeatedly with her family over the past day or so.  Pray for Miss Kathleen.

Ruby Gulley remained in ICU as of early yesterday afternoon.  She was not a happy camper and was not having a great day.  She was in hopes of getting moved into a regular room at some point yesterday.  Will find out today if that happened.

Becky Hatcher’s mother, Mrs. Benedict, is very low physically too.  She and Mr. Benedict live in Hattiesburg, MS.  Becky has been going to Hattiesburg often in recent days.  I think I am correct in saying that Becky’s parents have been married for seventy four years!  They were grade school sweethearts.  Pray for Mrs. Benedict and the family during this time.

Amy Huhn’s father is about to be discharged from the rehab facility.

No significant changes in those folks we have been praying for who are battling cancer.  Just keep praying.

Good day/night in our services yesterday.  The attendance in our evening Bible study in the auditorium was up.  Our morning attendance is always steady.  Our 7:30PM Bible study numbers were good as well.  God is faithful!

Friendship basketball begins this Saturday, 1/14, at 8:00AM.  Soy is in charge!  His first official act?  Fired me as a coach.  I have been coaching either RA or Upward basketball at Friendship since 1980.  Actually started the basketball program here.  Introduced the purple uniforms.  So, for the first season since 1980 I will not be roaming the sidelines as a coach.  Fired!  Canned!  Booted out!  Never given a reason!   I am in hopes that an online petition can be started.  Or a protest at the games this Saturday.  Or something!

I was pretty excited yesterday thinking our blog readership had reached fourteen.  However, I have since found out that Nanette Brooks Fontenot is mad and is staging a personal boycott so we are back down to thirteen readers.  Why is Nanette mad?  Apparently, she is still “fuming” (pun intended) over her smoking problem which I had nothing to do with.  I guess you could say that our relationship has “gone up in smoke!”

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