FRIDAY, 4/27

Lisa and I enjoyed a nice time of fellowship with Bro. Johnny & Miss Judy Tucker over a meal yesterday.  (Of course he “forgot” his wallet so I had to pay the bill!) He had just gotten a good word from the doctor concerning his heart and the recently implanted defibrillator.  Pray for them as they prepare to leave for the Philippines next Tuesday.  He will be preaching for us on Sunday, July 1, as he will be helping perform the ceremony on June 30th uniting our daughter, Daphne, and Brad Hutto in marriage. 

I spoke to Billy Morris, Leslie’s dad, via the phone last night to confirm that she had indeed arrived in Africa.  Their only contact has been one brief e-mail so please pray for that team too.  I have no further word from my pastor friend, Jack Bailey, but would ask you to pray for him too.

I spoke to a friend yesterday who is very concerned about an upcoming court case next week.  This person has been sued and the insurance company has chosen not to settle out of court but to go to trial.  This friend is very concerned but is focused on trusting God through this whole ordeal.  Pray! 

Derrick & Jodie Wilkerson will be taking a few days next week to travel to Coban & Tikal in Guatemala before a busy “team” season begins.  From May 18 until August 21 they will be busy working with teams from Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, & North Carolina.  The only substantial time off during their remaining time in Guatemala will be to travel to Mexico for three days as required by the law after being in the country for six months. 

I mention Derrick & Jodie this morning to ask the members of the Friendship family to prayerfully consider financially supporting our Mission Antioch effort which in turns allows us to support Derrick & Jodie during this time.  Contact me if you need more information on how to do this. 

I spoke to Mike Blaylock via the phone yesterday and confirmed his being with us this Sunday during the 10:30AM service.  He has written a book sharing about his experiences in dealing with cancer and will have some of those books available after the service.  I would encourage all of those who have battled with cancer or have a family member who has battled/is battling with cancer to be present during this service.  Again, I would ask those who normally attend the 8:00AM service to come to the 10:30AM service instead.  Mike graciously offered to come to both services but I insisted he only preach in the second service.  Our own Kelley Hall is scheduled to make her Friendship debut in bringing the message in song during the morning services this week. 

I hope to see you in our Bible studies and worship services this Sunday.  Unless something happens to necessitate otherwise, there will be no more blog entries from me until Monday.  I am heading out the door to do a Wal Mart run for groceries and then will go cut grass at my in-laws so Charles will consider putting me in the Will! 

Sandra McElwee – you say that you are a daily blog reader but you must never check your e-mail as I sent you a message requesting some information earlier this week!
