THURSDAY, 8/18/16

“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 – Jeremiah 38-40; Psalms 74; 79

Glory to God and way to go Friendship family!  Lisa and I joined our 7:30PM Bible study group in going to the South location of Sam’s Super Burger for dessert last night.  We crashed the place around 8:30PM but they knew we were coming so they could be somewhat prepared.  The owners, Phillip & Natalie, were super nice and shared with us the total receipts for both locations.  I will just say that the South location took in more which is exactly what I predicted during our service last night.  It was the highest total of receipts in the thirty year history of Sam’s Super Burger!  What a tremendous show of support for Carla by the Friendship family and the entire Grand Bay community.  We closed the place down by praying for Phillip, Natalie and their business.  By the way, I appreciate them not being open on Sundays!  May God richly bless them and their business!  (We had four Pentecostal sisters somehow slip into our Baptist line in order to get free ice cream – what is up with that?)  As pastor and a friend of Carla, I say “thank you” to each person who helped make “Carla Felps Kyser Day” a huge success!  Again, glory to God!  (The “friend of Carla” thing is just to make this sound sweet!  Do not read too much into it. Just saying!  LOL!)

Randy Collins was admitted to the hospital yesterday and will be undergoing a surgical procedure today.  Pray for Randy as this has been problematic for several weeks now.

Linda Green’s sister will be discharged from the hospital today.

Per the hospital operator last night, Pastor Jiggs Ramsey has been discharged.  That is good news!  Now he just needs to give himself time to recover!

Larry Whitehurst shared yesterday morning in our service that he visited with Ted Ezell this week and found that Ted had taken a nasty fall on Saturday night.  Cut his head and required stitches.  Pray for Ted as he recovers.

Pastor Wes Bates felt God leading him to resign from his position as a pastor this week so he obeyed.  Pray for Pastor Wes and his family as they now wait on the Lord’s leading for their next step in the ministry.  Maybe they will be joining us for some of our services during this interim period.  That would make Grandma Jeanette a happy camper!

The celebration of life service for Pastor Jack Bailey’s great niece will be held on Friday afternoon at the high school in Ardmore, Alabama.  I assume that her pastor, Tim Keenum, will be the main speaker but not sure if Pastor Jack or Pastor Joe will be involved.  Regardless, pray for the Greer family.

We had a really strong Wednesday in our services.  The attendance in our student Bible studies was way up!  School beginning is obviously a plus as the students can connect on a daily basis and encourage each other to attend.  Pray for Jim, Josh, Jonny & Dale and all others involved in teaching/reaching our students.

The attendance in our morning service was good as usual while the evening attendance was higher than normal which is a good thing!

Work day on 8/27 @ 8:00AM!

Prayer service for America on 9/11 @ 6:00PM.

Another night of no Olympics for me last night.  The “robbery” thing has me confused.  I am thinking that maybe OJ was involved?  May need to send Tony down to sort this thing out!

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