SATURDAY, 1/9/16

Friendship family’s verse for 2016 – “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psalm 19:14 KJV)

Today’s Bible reading – Job 21 – 23

It was a sad heart that I share that Eddie Whitmore passed from this life and entered Heaven yesterday afternoon.  Not sad for him but sad for Jerry & Gloria, Sierra, his other family members, his church family, and his friends as we will be the ones missing him.  Eddie is now in the presence of the Lord.  No more cancer.  No more pain.  Jerry & Gloria and Sierra did an awesome job of providing care and standing beside Eddie ever since he moved to this area.  He loved them and loved them caring for him.  There will be a memorial service  for Eddie and those details will be announced as soon as they are completed.

It is with a glad heart that I share that Carla Kyser got a good report from the medical folks yesterday.  Her scans were “stable” and she will get the official results next week when she meets with her doctor.  Praise the Lord.

It is with a glad heart that I share that Brian Amonett has been moved to another hospital for therapy.  He will be there for fourteen or twenty-one days and then will be moved to another PT facility.  Basically six months in the same hospital so you know he was ready for a change of scenery.

Louis Reyer was better yesterday per his son.  He and I talked briefly when I visited yesterday morning but he is still really sick.  Obviously, he remains hospitalized.

Lisa and I visited Pastor Jack & Miss June Bailey last night.  He was doing well in his recovery from surgery.  Plans on preaching tomorrow.

Upward basketball today.  Pray for the group that coordinates this ministry.

Jonny “the Baptist” e-mailed me yesterday to tell me that the evangelism training classes are completely filled with twenty folks in each class.  That is awesome!  Those classes will meet each Tuesday and Thursday for the next seven weeks.  “Lord, send laborers into the harvest!”

After I made hospital visits yesterday, I drove back to Grand Bay and then Lisa and I had left heading to Birmingham.  As we were driving, those plans got changed and we ended up driving straight to Decatur, AL where we met some family members for supper at Big Bob’s (my favorite bar-b-que place).  We then attended my great nephew’s (Grayson) basketball game and caught the second half of the Danville High School varsity boy’s game. I was able to see a good number of long time friends including Fuzz & Rose Mary.  We then checked into the Glenn Hotel, got settled in our room, and crashed.

Today, I plan on seeing my great nephew, Jaden, and his twin sister, Joslyn (probably spelling that wrong) play basketball in sprawling metropolis known as Eva, Alabama.  We will then celebrate my parent’s birthdays (80th & 77th) before attending the wedding of my nephew, Cody.  (Sarah Smallegan from Michigan is here for the wedding so my ears will be tired as that girl can talk, talk, talk!)  Lord willing, we will arrive home late tonight and I will be in the pulpit for all three services tomorrow.

I need someone to volunteer to recite, from memory, our church verse for 2016 in each of the services tomorrow.  (Different person in each service)  If there are no takers, our staff members will be called upon to do so.  Hope they are ready!

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