SPECIAL THANK YOU!

At 8:30AM today the sod (11 pallets) had all been put in place as a great group of guys showed up and got it done in a hurry!  Special thanks to project coordinator Tyrone Crawley and the following men – Chris Cavin, Will Reynolds, Eddie Albritton, Phillip Turner, Rusty Suthoff, Ryan Hatcher, Dave Sellers, John Ladnier and Bob Evans.

Tim Knighten and his sidekick, Pablo, showed up at 8:00AM to do some much needed concrete work.  So, a special thanks goes to them also.

The Friendship family is very blessed to have such willing workers.  They always respond to the call.  I am proud to be the pastor of such wonderful folks!

BTW, the asphalt work is scheduled to begin this Monday, 3/23.  Supposed to be finished before Good Friday.  Praise the Lord!

SATURDAY, 3/21/15

Today’s Bible reading – Numbers 32:1-33:39 Luke 4:31-5:11 Psalm 64:1-10 Proverbs 11:22

Help needed – we will be laying sod at the church beginning at 8:00AM today.  This will finish the drainage project that began months ago.  Any, and all, help will be appreciated this morning.  I really appreciate all that Tyrone Crawley has done to lead this project.

The visitation with the Marie Shofner family takes place today at First Baptist Dawes beginning at 1:30PM until the 3:00PM service time.  Pray for Miss June Strickler and the family during this time.

Miss Lillian Brinkman came home from the hospital yesterday.  She is doing well.

I did not visit with Max yesterday but am going by the “no news is good news” philosophy.  I have plans to visit him at some point today.

I spent a large part of yesterday afternoon planting the garden.  Charles laid the rows off yesterday morning and then Soy ran the planter.  Only planted seeds and hope to plant some plants at some point next week.  Praying the Lord’s blessings on it!

Soy did a ton of mowing yesterday afternoon while I finished the garden.  I only had to do some push mowing and weed eating in the late afternoon.  I appreciate his help as it put me ahead for today with the work day at the church followed by the funeral service.  BTW, he killed two snakes while mowing.  I guess they were enjoying the hot temperatures.  What kind of snake?  Soy said boa constrictor?

Regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening.  Lord willing, I will be preaching in all three services.  Hope to be joined by many members of the Friendship family.

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