MONDAY, 7/5/10
First, it is 11:30AM already so this post is obviously late. The place where we staying did not have a working internet connection and, yes, I have called Al to report the problem.
The visitation with the Dottie Fore family will take place tomorrow night, July 6, from 5:00 – 8:00PM from the Mobile Memorial Gardens Funeral Home. The service will be a graveside service only on Wednesday, July 7, at noon. Bro. Jerry has asked that anyone wishing to help with a meal for the Fore family please call Tena at 599 -4050. You are asked to have it in the fellowship hall no later than 10:00AM on Wednesday.
I have not an update today from Susan Quinn. As of yesterday, there had been no significant change. Keep praying for Susan and the family.
We had a really blessed day in our two services yesterday. I was very grateful for the faithfulness of our people. What an absolute joy to have six professions of faith and to baptize eight folks on a holiday! God gives the increase and we give Him all of the glory! We serve an awesome God! Thank you Friendship family members for being faithful!
Lisa, Dana, Gina, & I drove to Birmingham yesterday afternoon and visited with Lisa’s uncle, William “Smidge” Freeman, who underwent major heart surgery last Wednesday. He is in UAB and is doing well but has a ways to go in his recovery.
We then drove on to Hartselle and spent a few hours with my family. This morning gave me the opportunity to work in the garden with my dad. We are about to enjoy a meal consisting of Big Bob Gibson’s bar-b-que – it doesn’t get any better!
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
