The Lord blessed us with a good day yesterday in our respective Bible studies, classes, prayer meetings, et cetera.  Wednesdays are busy around Friendship with the morning service and then the many activities in the evening.  As we closed out the day last night with our college students, I was reminded that a good number of them have had finals this week with the last of those coming today and/or tomorrow so please keep them in your prayers. 

I also learned yesterday that Cottage Hill Christian Academy and Faith Academy were meeting on the baseball diamond in the semi-finals of the AISA state baseball tournament.  I was in hopes they would not have to meet until the finals but it wasn’t to be true.  We have players and fans at both of these schools and I hate to see either team come up short where the score is concerned.  I believe this is a best of three series and Faith was able to come from behind to win yesterday’s game.  Congratulations to them on the victory and best wishes to both teams in today’s game. 

Obviously, it disappoints me when any of our teams, especially our Christian schools, are forced to play on a Wednesday afternoon/night.  Don’t even get me started on that soap box! 

There will be another work effort tonight as our guys finish the tile work in the fourth and final room.  They will finish that room and begin the grouting process.  I had a couple ladies misunderstand and offer to send their husband for the grouch night.  We need folks, men and women, who have experience working with grout to help tonight.  Remember, we also need folks to help put the place back in order on Saturday at a yet to be determined time but it very well could be Saturday afternoon late. 

Please continue to pray for Bro. Johnny & Miss Judy, Pastor Jack Bailey, Leslie Morris on the mission field, Dr. Kirk in the courtroom, and those who are battling a physical illness of some type. 

I pray you will have a great day in Jesus!
