FRIDAY, 2/1/08
The sweet sixteen birthday party for Hien was both a surprise and a success! Hien, Lisa and I are very thankful to each person who attended in spite of some really bad weather. Hien is thankful for the gifts! It was good to see Hien’s four siblings at the party and her mother came by the house yesterday afternoon. Hien had a good day!
There are no significant changes in the hospitalized folks or the ones battling cancer. Bro. Jerry is sore and has a difficult time getting up from his recliner. Keep praying for all of these folks and their respective needs.
Happy birthday today to Marjorie Peacock (??) and Jennifer Wetterer (23)! Our son-in-law’s mother, Myrna “from Smyrna” Taylor celebrates the big “50” tomorrow and Alia Guidry reaches 18 Sunday! Best wishes to all of these ladies! (I mention Myrna & Alia today b/c I won’t post this weekend)
Speaking of 50th birthdays, Laurie Chandler reached that half century mark (sounds old, doesn’t it?) last Sunday. I am trying to find a larger size font for these entries as she is having some obvious problems reading them!
All folks with blue eyes are related! That’s what the Danish researchers are telling us and it all goes back to one guy about 6,000 – 10,000 years ago. I am going to submit to the belief that we are all related and it goes back to one couple created by God. (I could save these researchers tons of time and money!)
Please be kind to Josh Woods this weekend as he is probably in a state of mourning! Al needs to get to China as they are having the worst winter in decades due to the cold and snow. Did you read where the guy, 35, drank himself to death? Too much water consumed too quickly! (This tidbit was for Mariam Moates!)
This Sunday will be an interesting one as it is the front weekend of a celebration in Mobile and it is also Super Bowl Sunday. I encourage all of the members of the Friendship family who are in town this Sunday to be in their rightful place. Kick off for the game begins at 5:18PM and we are normally out of our evening service around 7:00PM (depends on the length of the music portion of the service). So, you can attend Discipleship Training and the service without missing any of the second half and maybe catch some of the first half too!
I hope you will have a great weekend with Jesus!
