Pastor's Blog

The Lord blessed and we had a good community Thanksgiving service last night.  Pastor Terry Ragsdale of Worship Center East did a nice job of bringing the Word to us as he encouraged us to “make the most of the time!” 

The attendance wasn’t nearly what I think it should be but the Friendship family was well represented.  Now, we had plenty of others who could have been present but I am very grateful to those who attended, provided the refreshements, and helped serve/clean up during the fellowship. 

Carla Kyser has a test today.  Pray for her.  Teddy Ray Jackson told me last night that his mother is much improved.  Praise the Lord!

I visited Miss Vivian yesterday afternoon and was pleased with how she looked and the report from Cecil.  She had actually been for a walk in the hallway.  She seemed to have a great attitude.  Keep praying!

Speaking of Miss Vivian, she wanted me to make sure we have the convalescent home residents covered regarding Christmas gifts.  We will be making that push this Sunday, 11/30. 

I went to the Gulfport airport last night to transport the folks who had been on the GRACE trip home.  They arrived into GPT around 10:30PM and we were back in Grand Bay at 11:40PM.  Thank God for His traveling mercies. 

A number of folks asked about Daphne yesterday/last night and there seems to be some confusion regarding her situation.  Her due date is 12/4 but she is showing signs of delivering early.  However, she is not in the hospital and there are no plans of putting her in the hospital.  I came home from the GRACE trip a day early “just in case” based on the signs.  Thank you for your concern & prayers and I will let you know once Titus makes his appearance.  (I am asking him to not do that from 1:30PM – 5:00PM this Friday as his mother did.  Otherwise, we are good to go!)   

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