JOSHUA HEACOCK’S FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS

The visitation and funeral service for Joshua Heacock will take place this Thursday, 7/12, from the auditorium of our church.  The visitation will begin at 11:00AM for the public with the service set to begin at 2:00PM.

The 20-29 Sunday School class (Josh’s class) will take care of feeding the family.  Those class members can contact Deidra for instructions.

Pray for Josh’s family as they walk through this dark valley.

TOUGH TUESDAY!

This has been a difficult day for me in several ways with the worst of it being my receiving the news from Lisa this morning that Joshua Heacock passed away.  Josh was 21 years old (one month away from his 22nd birthday) and was an active member of our Sunday School class.  He always attended the 8:00AM worship service.  Folks, I am reeling on this one!

I was in the passport agency office in New Orleans when Lisa reached me with the news.  Then I find out that we did not have the proper documentation in order for Hien to receive her USA passport.  Levi Seymour was getting his too and that was going well.  The decision was made for me to head toward Grand Bay while Deidra headed toward Louisiana.  I am grateful for Deidra’s willingness to help me out!  I had one hour and forty five minutes to drive in the rain and get back for the next (and final) appointment for the day.  Got back with exactly about minus five minutes to spare.  Both passports were secured and now we hope Clara and crew do their job!  (Hien’s original certificate of naturalization is in that envelope and that cannot be lost!)

It continued to “rain on my parade” when I got home but I cannot share those details.  My heart was heavy as I visited with Josh’s aunt & uncle whom he lived with.

I am numb emotionally.  I am human.  I am honored to share at Joshua’s funeral but I so do not look forward to it!  All prayers are appreciated!

TUESDAY, 7/10/12

Marisa Felps’ father, Mr. Frank Boykin, was admitted to the hospital yesterday and then placed in ICU last night.  He has pneumonia and some other problems.

Rachael Jackson’s mother remains in the hospital as does Elizabeth Sessions’ sister, Ginny.  I hope to visit Betty Carol Neal this afternoon during the specified visitation period.  Edna’s brother continues to need our prayers.

There will be a baby shower for Bobby & Deidra Crawley this Sunday afternoon, 7/15, at the home of Lisa Bellknap.  I think it is from 2:00PM until 3:30PM.  I know it is either a boy or a girl.  The Friendship family is invited to attend this shower.  This will be Bobby & Deidra’s first child and it will also be Tyrone & Jodi’s first grandchild.  (Nanette Fontenot is helping host this shower and she has been hammering me to mention it – says I owe it to her since we used to be an item!)

Ronnie Cottingham will be our guest this Sunday, 7/15, in all three of our worship services.  The evening service will feature the music ministry of Ronnie.  I hope the Friendship family will be faithful to attend this service.

I am taking a couple of our young adults to New Orleans today in order for them to get their passports.  Pray that all goes well and that we can return home quickly.

Lisa took Lori and the twins shopping yesterday afternoon and was able to sneak off without them.  I sure hope the folks at the outlets were kind enough to give them a place to stay!  LOL!  (We enjoyed having JD and his family with us for a few days!)

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