Tiffany Fox is doing her best to get out of my dog house.  She has not succeeded yet but is making progress.  She sent a text to Deidra to let me know that Mitchel is back in the hospital.  He is rapidly losing weight among other problems.  Pray for him!

We are on a regular schedule today/tonight but that is one adjustment to the meeting place.  All of the middle school and high school students will meet in the youth building tonight only.  That service begins at 7:00PM.

Sara Ladnier, Kathy’s daughter, is having tests done today because of her Crohn’s disease which is seemingly getting worse.  Pray for Sara today.

The visitation with the Cumbie family takes place tonight from 5:00 until 8:00PM at the Mobile Memorial Garden Funeral Home.  The service take place from the chapel tomorrow at 10:00AM.

Sanna’s niece got the results from her scan yesterday.  It was not the news they wanted to hear.  She will soon begin chemotherapy treatments.

Cecil, Myrtle, & John Milton’s uncle Billy remains hospitalized in his battle against leukemia.

Today is the deadline for members of the Friendship family to sign up for the November GRACE trip.  Plans call for us to have two weeks and I will lead one team and Mark Mast will lead the other team.  The dates will be Monday, 11/11, through Monday, 11/25.  Contact me if you want to sign up.  There will probably be spaces available since we are going with two teams.  However, no promises.  These trips include folks from Alabama, Michigan and Canada.

Spring forward!  Time changes this Saturday night, 3/9, which means we lose an hour of sleep.  It is important for all of us to remember this so we will not be late for Sunday and/or the worship services.

I have always said that if you want folks to talk nice about you then just die.  Chavez did so yesterday and Jimmy Carter is pouring on the praises – is he serious?  Wow!

Meanwhile, the leaders in Washington are bemoaning being sequestered and are telling us all of the things that are being eliminated i.e. tours of the White House.  However, we gave Egypt 250 million dollars yesterday!

Hooray for Sears and JC Penney’s!  It is being reported that they have pulled the advertisements from the SNL show because of the “skit” about Jesus a couple of weeks back!  I applaud their action.  Christians should show their support by buying their products.

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