Pastor's Blog

Word came to me this morning through Rita Broome that Cristy Leytham passed from this life around 9:30AM today.  Not sure of the exact arrangements at this time but do ask that you pray for Paul and the family.

Today’s Bible reading – Ezra 8:21-9:15 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 Psalm 31:1-8 Proverbs 21:1-2

On the revival prayer point today – Lillian Brinkman, Phil & Edna Morgan

Received an e-mail from Paul Leytham last night giving me an update on Cristy.  The hospice representative is of the opinion that Cristy is in her final days i.e. less than a week of life on this earth.  She is now confined to a hospital bed and has someone sitting with her 24/7.  Pray for Cristy, Paul and family.

Obviously, Sueanna and Zeke remain hospitalized.  As far as I know, all is well with them.

Deidra’s visit to the neurologist yesterday showed that her problem is not with her sciatic nerve.  She has sacroiliac joint dysfunction.  Because she is in her third trimester of pregnancy, there is only so much that can be done.  The neurologist sent her to a physical therapist who is now in charge of her treatment.

As most of you know/remember, Daphne recently went through a miscarriage.  She learned yesterday that she will have to receive chemotherapy treatments for a yet to be determined number of times.  I do not know enough to speak of the details but do know that her gynecologist and oncologist agree that this is the route to take.  She has been having blood work each week and yesterday’s numbers were up after having been in decline each week.  It is possible her chemo treatments (shots) could begin this Monday, 8/11.

Bro. Chris and the eleven others with him arrived in Danville, Alabama around 12:45AM this morning.  They will help with the set up of the block party today and then work the actual block party tonight.  They are set to drive home tomorrow afternoon after attending the morning service at Danville Baptist Church.  Dale Bosarge will be the speaker during that morning service.

Revive us again!  That is my prayer, my longing, my desire for me and the Friendship family.  We are a mere eight days away from Evangelist Wade Morris joining us for these special services.

Deacons meet with the pastor tomorrow afternoon at 4:00PM in the church office.

Regular schedule tomorrow morning/evening.  I pray that the members of the Friendship family will be found faithful.

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