FRIDAY, AUGUST 17

Yesterday proved to be a very interesting day.  The funeral service for Mark Smith, Tena’s brother-in-law, was very well attended and the pastors did a nice job of bringing comfort from the Word of God.  Continue to pray for that family. 

I was in my office preparing for a staff meeting when Miss Kittie informed me of a major fire at the Chevron refinery in Pascagoula.  A couple of phone calls gave me an assurance that no one was missing, injured, or deceased as a result of the fire.  That was certainly good news considering the fact that we have a large number of the Friendship family who work for Chevron or at Chevron for a contractor.  We thank God for His watchcare.  Kerry Woods was the person responsible for making the announcement via the intercom to the refinery workers and I am told that he did it very professionally and calmly even though it was a major fire indeed.  I really would expect nothing less from Kerry.  Pray for those guys as they evaluate the damage and begin rebuilding that portion of the plant. 

Word came late yesterday afternoon that Tammy Litton, wife of Pastor Ed Litton, was involved in an automobile accident on Highway 98 in Mississippi just west of Lucedale.  The accident proved fatal to her but their 13 year old daughter survived and is going to be okay physically.  Ed serves as the pastor of First Baptist North Mobile.  Please join me in praying for this family during this difficult time. 

Rita Vice’s father, Pete Nelson, is having an angioplasty done today at a hospital in CA.  Rita is still there with him.  Please pray as he goes through this procedure. 

Derrick & Jodie have two more days of ministry in Guatemala.  Pray that all will go well as they bring this phase of their ministry lives to a close and move forward in another phase.

I don’t plan on entering another post until Monday.  I hope that the members of the Friendship family will join me in Bible study and worship this Sunday morning and evening.  May your weekend be blessed!
