HIEN HAS A PASSPORT – PTL!

When the phone in the pastor’s house rings at midnight, one expects the worse.  However, last night was a very welcome exception. 

T. Garrett Wright was calling from New York City as he was going through his mail at 1:00AM and discovered that he had received Hien’s (pronounced Henny’s) passport from Vietnam.  Folks, this is a huge answer to prayer and God has greatly used T. Garrett to make it happen. 

Because Hien was born in Vietnam she had to have a passport from her home country in order to travel internationally i.e. Guatemala.  She has a green card but you can’t travel with that alone.  (When she turns 18 in February we will begin the process of US citizenship for her)

So, when T. Garrett was in Grand Bay earlier this year, he began the process and has literally spent hours in the Embassy and on the phone.  Deidra helped on this end as did Nicole Taylor.  We didn’t have all of our “ducks” in the proverbial row but God showed up and He showed out! 

T. Garrett will place the passport in the mail to us today and, provided Kathy Grimes doesn’t drop the ball, we will have it in hand early next week.  This is a good thing!  It is a God thing! 

So, many thanks to T. Garrett as he is a mover and shaker!  Folks, if you need something done – simply call T. Garrett!

FRIDAY, 9/25/09

Miss Vivian did not have the feeding tube inserted yesterday but will have that procedure done today.  However, they did do a swallowing test and she did very well with that.  She also was able to stand beside the bed and take a few steps.  God is good! 

Billy Smith is doing great and will be discharged from the hospital this morning. 

I want to remind the members of the Friendship family that we will observe the ordinance of baptism as a part of our evening service this Sunday.

Also on Sunday evening, we will be electing a committee to lead in the renovation of the CAB and will be taking action on a staff position.

I join the parents in New Jersey who are upset that their elementary age children were taught  and then video taped singing songs “praising” the President.  He is not a king!  It is particularly disturbing to me that this took place in a public school and that they took the words from “Jesus Loves The Little Children” and replaced the name of Jesus with the President’s name.  IMO, our country is in a dangerous situation. 

Lisa and the girls will travel to Town Creek this afternoon to attend a baby shower for Titus tomorrow.  They will then attend church in North Alabama on Sunday morning because as Lisa says, “they want to hear some good preaching!”  I assumed she meant Tom but she says Jack.  Good preaching + Jack = an oxymoron.  LOL!  Hopefully, JD will be preaching! 

Deidra will go with Lisa which means I have to babysit Soy!  Joy, joy, joy!  I will have to take him to the Bama game and, worse yet, I will have to feed him! 

Well, I was 100% in my college football predictions last week so I am going to give it another go.  I will go with South Carolina 16  Ole Miss 10. 

Go to church Sunday.  I pray that you will have a great weekend with Jesus!
