Cecil Guidry called this morning to share that Steve & Wanda Jordan’s grandson, Cole, was taken from this life in an automobile accident last night.  Of course, Cole is the son of Steven & Gabriel.  Do not know the details except that the accident happened in Mississippi, was a single vehicle accident, and there was one other person in the vehicle with Cole.  It is my understanding that person is in critical condition and may be taken to Jackson, MS today.  Pray for this family as they walk through this valley.

Received an e-mail from Dr. John Nicely.  He is experiencing more pain today and could be headed back to the operating room today to have his knee washed out again.  He appreciates the prayers.

Today’s Bible reading – Ezekiel 44:1-45:12 1 Peter 1:1-12 Psalm 119:17-32 Proverbs 28:8-10

Word on the street is that Rusty & C received the call from MDA.  It is my understanding they will leave on Sunday, 11/30, with an  appointment scheduled for Tuesday, 12/2.

I do not do social media i.e. FB, Twitter, et cetera.  I think Robin Nicely has been posting updates on Dr. John via FB but I obviously am not seeing those.  I do ask that you keep praying for Dr. John as he remains in a Grand Rapids hospital.

We are on a regular schedule tomorrow morning (worship at 8:00 & 10:30AM; Sunday School at 9:15AM).  Lord willing, I will be preaching both of those services and co-teaching SS with Rick Bradley.  My prayer is for a great attendance in both worship services and SS even though we have a number of folks out of town because of the holiday week.

The community Thanksgiving service takes place beginning at 6:00PM tomorrow.  We will not have any pre-service activities i.e. choir practice or classes.  I am praying for a full house for that service.  I am also praying that the members of the Friendship family will prove to be excellent hosts.  We need to be present in order to make that a reality.

Lisa and I are attending the Bama game this afternoon.  All of the other family members are chasing polar bears somewhere in central Alabama.  Lord willing, Lisa and I will arrive home tonight ready to go for in the morning.

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