“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 – Joshua 1-3; Mark 16

“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.”  (Psalm 122:1).  The Psalmist David expressed what I pray that each member of the Friendship family feels this morning and tonight!  I am glad to be able to go to church today – morning and evening!  Are you?  Will you join me and my family in Bible study and worship today?

I personally did not check the water supply in the auditorium yesterday but I did see where Larry Crawley and crew had implemented “Plan B” so I am assuming all is well.  I really appreciate the many hours Larry has given to correcting this problem this past week.  If you see him in the services today, why not express a word of thanks to him?

The Lord blessed me with a good Saturday.  Lisa and I met Rusty & Anna for breakfast (they asked what time and I said early and they set the time for 9:00AM – this younger generation!).  I was then able to make a couple of visits and then did something that I really like to do – rode a weed eater and a mower from early afternoon until almost dark thirty.  What a beautiful day weather wise we had yesterday.  God is good!

Soy is doing a very nice job of adding two hundred and forty square feet to my chicken coop.  He is “slow as Christmas” but mama always told me that “beggars cannot be choosy!”  (That will be in today’s morning message).  Once the addition is complete then I will be adding more birds to the flock.

Did catch some of the tourney yesterday/last night.  The Purdue/Iowa State game was a good one.  I think I had picked Wisconsin over Villanova – let me check on that!  I as sticking with UNC to win it all with Gonzaga being my second choice.

I pray that you will have a great Sunday with Jesus.  Go to church!
