FRIDAY, 8/20/10
No major updates on those who are battling affliction/cancer except to say that Miss Vinnie Brewer’s daughter, Shirley Nelson, got a good report yesterday as a result of her heart cath. Roy Blodgett got an excellent report regarding his tumors – got them all and no treatments necessary! Praise the Lord!
Karla Cooper’s uncle, Lowell Howard, had heart by-pass surgery yesterday but I don’t have an update. Talked to Karla this morning and her uncle did well as he received four by-passes and was taken off the ventilator last night. Awesome!
I do want to remind the ladies of the Friendship family of the wedding shower for Morgan Rogers this Sunday afternoon, 8/22, from 2:00 – 4:00PM in the fellowship hall. I think she is registered at Greer’s in the Bayou & Bay Hardware but you had better check to make sure!
Soy’s mother, “Myrna from Smyrna”, leaves today going back to Atoka, TN. It has been good to have her here i.e. Soy has spent time with her meaning he has left me alone! I suspect he will be back around here tomorrow wanting me to help him ride his bicycle, build things with his Legos, whatever! O my! By the way, Soy’s dad, Curtis, will have surgery on Monday so please pray for him.
Plans are a go for our student ministry GRACE trip to Guatemala the dates of Friday, April 15, through Friday, April 22, 2011. This will be for high school (9th – 12th) students only and Bro. Chris will select the chaperones based on need, involvement with the student ministry, et cetera. Students, sign up now using the forms in the foyer of the auditorium.
Remember, members of the Friendship family have until next Sunday, 8/29, to sign up “first” for the Summer 2011 GRACE trips. There may be an opportunity later but others will most likely use all open slots. Time is of the essence!
Can’t mow grass today as my mower went down last Saturday. Had it placed in the “mower hospital” this past Monday and had a phone consultation with the “mower doctor” yesterday. Bad news – gear box destroyed! Great news – under warranty! Actually, it is called grace! Praise the Lord!
So, either today or tomorrow Charles expects me to mow his grass using his mower. He says that he is going to give me a price break on the rental since my mower is in the shop. Please don’t tell him that the repairs are under warranty or he will up the price of rental on his mower!
Are the Cards toast? 3.5 games out now. The Braves continue to impress me! The NCAA is out to get Bama – Hill didn’t qualify after having been declared eligible? Please! Does anyone know how much it cost to “rent” a vehicle to drive from Hartselle, AL to El Tejar, Guatemala? Have a couple of friends who are going to need that service in October!
I pray that you will have a great Friday/weekend with Jesus. Go to church – even you Dave Westhouse!
P.S. – Bret, got the screws! Thanks!
