FRIDAY, 11/7/14

Today’s Bible reading – Ezekiel 16:42-17:24 Hebrews 8:1-13 Psalm 106:13-31 Proverbs 27:7-9

C & Rusty continue to wait on that call from MDA.  I know, I know, it is easy to say what you would do in their situation.  Reality is that you most likely would wait on the call just like they are having to do.  Maybe today!

Pray for Bro. Benny & family as they are in Texas for the funeral visitation for his younger brother, John McGath.

We will receive a special offering this Sunday, 11/9,  in all three services for the asphalt project.  We need a miracle offering and each member of the Friendship family needs to give as the Lord leads.  It cannot be only a few folks giving but a total Friendship family effort.  No gift is too large and no gift is too small.  This is not about equal gifts but rather about equal sacrifice.  Pray and give!

The GriefShare session takes place Tuesday night, 11/11, from 6:00 – 8:00PM in the auditorium.  Class size limited so sign up by calling the church office either Monday or Tuesday.  (Office closed today)

Ashley Crawley is going on the GRACE Ministries trip in December.  She will be selling pumpkin rolls the dates of 11/18 – 11/25.  Cost is $12.  Interested in purchasing one or more?  Contact me and I will put you in touch with her.  (Personally, I think it may be a scam.  I mean really, pumpkins are round so they are going to roll!)  (Deidra and Daphne just “rolled” their eyes!)

Personally, I am thankful for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel that upheld the gay marriage ban in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee yesterday.  U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman ruled the same way recently in Louisiana.  I often speak of my dismay for our judges so I have to give Judge Feldman his due.  As a matter of fact, here is what he wrote regarding his ruling, “same-sex marriage was ‘nonexistent and even inconceivable until very recently,’ and that ‘until recent years, it had no place at all in this nation’s history and tradition.’ Though the notion that same-sex marriage is a fundamental right has become more accepted in the past few years, Feldman ruled that the idea was ‘not yet so entrenched as to be fundamental.'”  Imagine that, federal judges with some common sense!  Hooray!

I have not coached Upward basketball in several years but when I did coach it was always with the older children.  Today, I move back into coaching and have a bunch of 4 & 5 year olds – have I lost my mind?  How did Kristy con me into this?  You can really sum it up in one word – Titus!

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