WEDNESDAY, 10/6/10

James Davis is back in the hospital.  He had gone back to a convalescent facility but was not there a full twenty-four hours before being taken back to the hospital.  Pray for James and his family.

Tom Compagner’s dad remains hospitalized too.  Tom says his dad is very weak as he recovers from his surgery of last Wednesday.

I am asking the members of the Friendship family as well as our long distance friends to prayerfully consider this next request.  GRACE Ministries, along with the Guatemala Bible Seminary, will host the third annual Pastors’ Conference in Chimaltenango Tuesday, October 19, through Thursday, October 21.  President Tico Vargas and the administrative committee at the seminary believe that we will have 500 participants.  Regardless of the number, many of those participants will not have the necessary funds to attend this conference.  So, we are asking folks to provide “scholarships” for these men/women.  A scholarship is $60 and that covers some travel for the participants, lodging for up to four nights, three meals a day/snacks for three days, and the conference materials.  All of the scholarship money goes directly to help these folks attend the conference.  Neither GRACE Ministries or the folks going from the USA receive one cent from these scholarships.  Checks can be made payable to GRACE Ministries or Friendship Baptist Church and mailed to my attention at P.O. Box 756 Grand Bay, Alabama 36541.  Thank you in advance for prayerfully considering this request.

The dirt has been in place for several weeks now but this week has seen the actual “start” of the construction on the house the Lord is allowing Lisa, the girls, and me to have built.  Ditto for Brad & Daphne and Soy & Deidra.  (Just what I have always wanted – build my first house and be flanked by Soy on one side and Brad on the other!)  Folks, this has been a long time coming but we are confident it is in the will of God for us.

The MLB playoffs begin today.  Honestly, I could care less.  The NBA has already begun playing preseason games – yawn!  I will catch them about next July 4 as The Finals are winding down.  The NFL is apparently expanding their regular season.  All of these leagues play seasons/play offs that are entirely too long – IMO.

T. Garrett, please contact the University and threaten legal action regarding all of these night games!  The homecoming game could begin at 8:00PM!

Regular Wednesday around here today.  Lisa & Deidra are preparing a nice meal for the 8:00PM Bible study folks.  We will have our “Potluck with the Pastor” next Wednesday, 10/13.  Phil Sims will be our chief fish fryer.

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