THURSDAY, 2/12/09

I stand corrected!  Margie Sheffield actually had three by-passes yesterday instead of the five I reported.  Obviously, I need to do a better job of verifying information before putting it in print.  She did well through the surgery and is now recovering in the hospital. 

We had a good day in our services/Bible studies.  Our Wednesday morning service seemingly gets stronger month by month.  I am glad those folks are taking advantage of this opportunity to join us in Bible study during the morning hour. 

Shea Childress did not get the results of her scan yesterday.  It has something to do with her blood counts so she is now scheduled to get those results next week.  Keep praying for Shea and all of the others we usually mention who are battling cancer. 

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

WEDNESDAY, 2/11/09 UPDATE

Margie Sheffield, Rita Boutwell & Diane Trotti’s sister, is having five by pass surgery on her heart this morning. 

Amy Seab did give birth to Alivia Renee last night.  She checked in weighing almost seven pounds.  Adam & Grant are fine!

WEDNESDAY, 2/11/09

Happy birthday Mama & Dad!  Yes, my parents share the same birthday as my Dad turns 73 today and my Mama is now 70.  I pray that today is a blessed day for my parents!  Ironically, they also share the same wedding anniversary!  (11/13) 

It is 4:15AM and I am thinking/assuming that Carl Ray & Sara Nell Moulds are grandparents again but I don’t know that for certain.  Amy Seab was placed in the hospital yesterday and the expectations were that she would have a baby at some point during the night.  Lisa and I were there shortly after 5:00PM and she had dilated to 4.  Sara Nell promised to call once Alivia entered this world and I am thinking that maybe she came so late that Sara Nell didn’t want to bother me.  At least I hope Adam & Amy are parents for the second time by now.  If not, Amy may be pulling a Dana Childress at this point! 

Sandy Felps remains hospitalized but yesterday they didn’t know the cause of her problems.  It is my understanding that Mr. Tom Hill, Jodi Crawley’s grandfather, was placed in the hospital yesterday too.  Rachel Jackson’s father, Mr. George Hill, had surgery on his knee yesterday.  I didn’t hear from Shea Childress’ scan results.  Please keep praying for Carla Felps, Joyce Bosarge, Jimmy Crawley, Tina Sprinkle & Bro. Jerry.  It is my understanding that Rita Boutwell & Diane Trotti’s sister, Margie, will be having heart by-pass surgery but I don’t know the details. 

I visited Alice Pigorsch in the GBCH yesterday and she was doing better although she is still having breathing difficulties.  I also had the opportunity to visit with Miss Exie Woods and Miss Lurline Webb.  Pray for the residents of the GBCH. 

Danville Baptist in the northern part of the State will be voting this Sunday morning, 2/15, to call Joe David Bailey as their full time Minister to Students/Associate Pastor.  Joe David is a good friend and I spoke to him via the phone last night.  He asked for our prayers.  It is an unusual situation because Joe David’s dad, Jack, is the Pastor of Danville Baptist.  Pray for Joe David, Bro. Jack, and the Danville family.  By the way, I think Rex Looney is distant kin to the Baileys through JD’s mother, June. 

It is Wednesday which means a full day for me beginning with our 10:00AM service and ending around 10:00PM tonight with our young professionals Bible study.  I pray that the members of the Friendship family will join us in one of our services/Bible studies today or tonight.  Lois Kirschenman almost always attends the morning & evening services on Wednesdays – she must be in tough shape! 

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

TUESDAY, 2/10/09

Okay, so I forgot to post yesterday morning.  I was up early so that wasn’t a factor but it didn’t dawn on me until about noon that I did not post.  It was a Monday all day long!  Actually, I have to miss an entry once in a while just to make sure you guys are reading.  I apologize and appreciate your understanding. 

I am going to give a final recap of our GRACE ’09 I trip at some point today on the GRACE blog.  I have been slothful in doing that too. 

I was called to the hospital yesterday afternoon as it was thought that Miss Alice Pigorsch was passing from this life.  I visited with her daughter, Phyllis, and actually spoke with Miss Alice too.  She made improvements through the day.  Pray for Miss Alice – what a kind heart she has been to me in my years here as Pastor. 

Shea Childress gets the results of her latest scan today so pray for her.  Carla Kyser continues to receive her treatments.  Joyce Bosarge and Jimmy Crawley remain at home in their respective battles against cancer.  Bro. Jerry Hovel & Tina Sprinkle are recovering at home from their recent surgeries.  Will Reynolds’ father, Frank, tore ligaments in both of his knees.  He has had surgery and should go home from the hospital today.  Sandy Felps was admitted to the hospital last night. 

I watched the Kansas versus Missouri basketball game last night – good game!  However, I grew so very tired of hearing/reading about A-Rod.  Please! 

Speaking of the MLB, Bobby Henley leaves today to oversee the camp of the Washington Nationals.  Obviously, he isn’t the manager but he will be the one directly running the day to day operations of the camp.  Pretty impressive to me!  Pray that Bobby will be a great example of a Christian to those guys and pray for his family as they are here. 

Thanks to all who participated in our FAITH visitation last night.  We had a good night. 

Faith Academy is calling so I have to go.  I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.

SUNDAY, 2/1/09

It is unusual for me to post on a Sunday but even more so given that I am in Guatemala.  However, I wanted to ask that you continue to pray for Sonny Bates and his family as they go through the grieving process for his nephew, Eddie Crocker.  They had that service yesterday and will be having a memorial service at Eddie’s church today. 

I don’t know a lot of news from home in regard to the folks hospitalized, recovering from surgery, et cetera.  I did hear from Bro. Jerry that Tina Sprinkle was about the same in her recovery but that was on Friday. 

Bro. Jerry will be preaching in our morning services today and Ralph Rimmer will be preaching during the evening service.  I encourage the members of the Friendship family to be in their rightful place today. 

I pray that you will have a great Sunday with Jesus!
