“As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” I Peter 4:10
Today’s Bible reading – 2 Kings 24-25; John 5:1-24
Charles Clark did well through his surgery. Lisa spent the night with him and they pretty much had a sleepless night. Just like Lisa did in December following her surgery it is taking him a while to come off the medicines used for surgery. My guess is that he will be discharged tomorrow. (Interesting sidebar – the surgeon told us yesterday that a good number of hospitals are now doing hip replacement as outpatient surgery. Amazing!).
Shelby, Ethan Nelson’s sister, was in a great deal of pain when I visited her yesterday. I feel for her. Jim Chinners had visited her earlier in the day and had forewarned me of her condition. They want to send her home but they have to get her pain meds regulated first. Pray for Shelby.
Jimmy Tagert’s mother remains in ICU but said she is doing better. She is very grateful for the prayer support and asked that it continue.
I learned yesterday that Tommy Watson remains in ICU in a Louisiana hospital. Lord willing, I will be visiting with Tommy today. Pray for Tommy’s complete recovery.
We had eight folks show up for our GROW ministry last night. The Gospel was shared one time. One fourth of those going out was comprised of a new believer and an eighty nine year old member. How about that? We will do it again next Monday night at 6:30PM.
We had a fair number of folks show up for our prayer time last night. Thank you to those who pray!
Regular schedule tomorrow morning and evening.
There is a nice article on al.com about Coach Eric Collier. It was written by Ben Thomas. (My name was used without my permission which could lead to a possible lawsuit against Coach & Ben – just saying!). Coach Collier is very deserving of the award he is going to receive next week.
The Friendship family is invited to attend the wedding ceremony of Rusty & Anna on Saturday, 5/27, in Pell City, Alabama. It begins at 4:00PM. Invitations are in the foyer of the auditorium.
Watched some of the NBA game last night. I do not like the Celtics but will not mind at all if they dispose of the Cars in this next series.
Meanwhile, Bobby & the boys continue to have the best record in the National league while holding a comfortable eight game lead in the NL East. Good job Bobby! Keep sending them!
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
