MONDAY, 9/6/10
I certainly give God the glory while also saying a huge “thank you” to the Friendship family for being so faithful to attend the services over the Labor Day holiday weekend. Yes, we had a significant number of folks out of town but we also had some very good services with very strong attendances. Obviously, the greatest thing was seeing one young man accept Jesus as his personal Savior during the evening service last night. It was neat to hear the young girls reciting the Bible verses learned in AWANA’s too. We had out of town and in town guests in all of our services. God is good!
Bro. Chris Taylor did a nice job in bringing the message during last night’s service while his cousin, Austin Taylor, did a nice job of bringing the message in song.
As it stands right now, we have no members of the Friendship family in a local hospital as Miss Bea & Zanetta both came home over the weekend. Miss Cora Martin, Clara Broadus’ mother, suffered a stroke Saturday night and is in a hospital in Troy, AL. Pattie updated us on Gage’s condition via a comment on Friday’s post. Miss Joyce Bosarge continues to need our prayer support as do all those battling cancer.
Miss Alva Hayes, sister of Miss Avon Glass, passed away Saturday morning. Her service will take place on Wednesday morning in Foley. I will post the complete arrangements once I have them. Pray for Mariam, Wanda, Stella and the entire family during this time.
Mr. Mil Compagner is Tom’s dad. He is having some physical problems but I am not sure to what extent as the voice mail Tom left me was not good quality. Pray for him!
Bama fans and Auburn fans are all smiles today after their respective victories this past Saturday. However, the competition gets much tougher for both teams this week with AU traveling to MSU on Thursday night while Bama hosts PSU on Saturday night. I do not expect Ingram back for the PSU game.
Yes, Tico caught some fish – red snapper, white trout, and one shark. He had a good day and I appreciate Tony Hacker taking us out. Good memory!
It is almost 7:30AM. I did not mow at my in-laws Saturday and Charles has already called this morning “wondering” what I am doing today! So, the weed eater and mower will be my companions today.
Friendship family, remember that Bro. Jerry Hovel is on vacation this week so please don’t contact him for any reason. Again, I don’t know if he is staying local or going global but don’t contact him. Thanks!
I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.
