WEDNESDAY, 4/9/08

This entry is a little late as I continue to have internet issues.  Yesterday, I wore my “doctor” hat and diagnosed Larry Whitehurst.  Today, I am wearing my “computer technician” hat and have decided that the problem lies within my router.  I think it has died!  Oh well, I am waiting on the grid anyway and this internet stuff will be so obsolete! 

Edna came with the news yesterday morning that Sarah Thornton’s brother, Matt Brown, passed away after a battle with cancer.  A memorial service will take place this Saturday.  Pray for Sarah and her family.

Docia Thompson e-mailed last night to share that her nephew, Robert Allums, in Dallas, Texas passed away very unexpectedly yesterday.  He was 45 years old and like a son to Larry & Docia so please pray for this family. 

Christy Wynn has an aunt, Joann Shaw, in the hospital.  David Boutwell, Jack Leasure, and George Hill all remain hospitalized.  Marvin DeYoung is having his heart surgery in Michigan today.  Larry Whitehurst has his stress test today.  Carla Kyser had her treatment yesterday.  My understanding is that Pastor Benny Still is in the hospital with heart/kidney problems.

Eric Burnett went home from the hospital on Monday night.  Miss Exie Woods is scheduled to come home Saturday. 

My dad recently had another scan and got the results this week.  There is some activity that the doctor wants to watch for three months and then do another scan.  Early indications are that his cancer is active again but that won’t be known until the next set of tests. 

Pastor Travis Northcutt and family leave today flying to North Carolina where he will preach in view of a call this Sunday.  Pray for them during this time. 

We have received pledges and/or money to scholarship 14 of the 100 pastors thus far.  My prayer is that we will go over the 50 mark this Sunday and then get the remaing 50 needed on the last two Sundays of the month.  Again, we are asking members of the Friendship family to help us with this area of the conference. 

I deeply appreciate the person who spent a great deal of time yesterday working on diverting the rain water from the northwest corner of the CAB.  I think he has solved the problem for the time being.  I am always blessed by those who give to the Lord without any fanfare.  Rewards are waiting in heaven for folks who serve in such a capacity.

Today is a regular Wednesday at Friendship.  I hope the members of the Friendship family will join us for Bible study and worship.

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